Today, Pennsylvania is up and I will try to get in on that call. This is a pretty ambitious plan on the part of the SCA and there are a lot of atheists who don\u2019t think it will succeed and even a few who don\u2019t want it to succeed because they don\u2019t like the SCA\u2019s Executive Director. I am for one hope that it does succeed.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Edwina Rogers\u2019 poor interview with Greta Christina, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/article\/in-defense-of-edwina-rogers-and-the-sca\" target=\"_blank\">I still support Rogers<\/a>. I think this 50 state plan is really important. I think it is much more important that knowing the particulars of our community. That can be learned later. Setting up the infrastructure that we need to really fight back against the Religious Right is really the most important thing at this point.<\/p>\n<p>Rogers may not be great with interviews and she probably isn\u2019t well versed on the details of all of our issues, but she knows how to lobby and she knows how to organize politically. We need that.<\/p>\n<p>Find out more about the SCA\u2019s 50 state organization project on their <a href=\"http:\/\/secular.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>. Call into the organizational meeting. Let\u2019s start kicking ass and taking politicians\u2019 names.<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em;\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\" style=\"margin-left: 0pt; display: inline-block; list-style-type: none;\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"display: inline-block; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; font-size: 12px; width: 80px; height: 240px; margin: 10px 40px 20px 0px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/article\/in-defense-of-edwina-rogers-and-the-sca\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0pt; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; border: 0pt none; display: block; box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px #999999;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/87902763_80_80.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a style=\"display: block; width: 80px; height: 90px; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 14pt;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/article\/in-defense-of-edwina-rogers-and-the-sca\" target=\"_blank\">In defense of Edwina Rogers and the SCA<\/a>\n<div style=\"clear: both; margin: 10px 0pt;\">\n<hr style=\"margin: 0pt;\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"display: inline-block; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; font-size: 12px; width: 80px; height: 240px; margin: 10px 40px 20px 0px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.secularnewsdaily.com\/2012\/05\/secular-coalition-lobbyists-to-organize-chapters-in-all-50-states-by-end-of-year-2\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0pt; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; border: 0pt none; display: block; box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px #999999;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/noimg_02_80_80.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a style=\"display: block; width: 80px; height: 90px; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 14pt;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.secularnewsdaily.com\/2012\/05\/secular-coalition-lobbyists-to-organize-chapters-in-all-50-states-by-end-of-year-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">Secular Coalition to organize chapters in all 50 states by end of year<\/a>\n<div style=\"clear: both; margin: 10px 0pt;\">\n<hr style=\"margin: 0pt;\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/?px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=5688d1ac-6640-4652-9ec2-a62debb018e2\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"linkwithin_hook\" id=\"http:\/\/www.dangeroustalk.net\/?p=2964\"><\/div><script>\n<!-- \/\/LinkWithinCodeStart\nvar linkwithin_site_id = 317364;\nvar linkwithin_div_class = \"linkwithin_hook\";\n\/\/LinkWithinCodeEnd -->\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/widget.js\"><\/script>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/pixel.png\" alt=\"Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...\" style=\"border: 0\" \/><\/a><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, the Secular Coalition for America is starting their 50 state push to create local branches.
