The Fed, as reported by frawin, backed down.  But here is what motivated that change.  Senator Inhofe & Rep. Lucas got involved, and wrote to the Federal Reserve, in part, the following:


"This is an all-out assault on the faith, values and rights of the bank, its employees and the people of Perkins they serve," Inhofe said. "It is absolutely ridiculous for the regulation to be interpreted this way, and it unduly discriminates against a person's faith in Christ and their constitutionally protected freedom to publicly express that faith. It is simply another case of liberals in Washington overstepping their bounds and intruding in the lives of individuals. I expect the Federal Reserve to rectify this situation quickly."


I say, "Bully for them!"  Now if more of our representatives would start representing us , we might stand a chance.

Inhofe seems to, for the most part, want to represent his constituents.  He refused to ride his horse in the Tulsa Parade this year, as they changed the name from Christmas Parade to Holiday Parade and wouldn't budge on changing it back.  He did ride in the parade at Broken Arrow as they still called it the Christmas Parade.  He seems to be a conservative.  Thanks goodness!
