CHICAGO VOICES: Robert Creason on U.S. Senator Bill Frist, "Justice Sunday" and the Republican Party

The participation of Bill Frist, the Senate Majority Leader, in the "Justice
Sunday" telecast organized by the Christian right is another clear indication
that the Republican party has been hijacked by right-wing fundamentalists. For a prominent senator to associate himself with such an event reflects a blatant refusal to accept a secular society.

Robert Creason lives and works in Chicago. This letter appeared in The New York Times on April 16, 2005.
