This PISSES. ME. OFF.
I can barely get my thoughts together to type this post, but Im not going to sit by and not speak up for those families who have lost a loved one and are having to now worry about submitting a written request for prayer to someone for approval. Last time I checked, this was the Home of the Brave and Land of the Free. Heads up, Director of the Houston National Cemetery. It still is.
Thanks to the Berry Brigade, here is how YOU can help STOP this disrespectful and unacceptable requirement put forth by the Houston National Cemetery Director Arleen Ocasio. How dare she require families to submit their prayers to her in writing for approval?! Oh. And theres more. And no bibles. And no chapel. Oh wait. The chapel was closed. Read on.

Called my Congressman, Al Green and voiced my opinion to a staffer. Unfortunately, he is a Sheila Jackson Lee liberal so I am not sure how far he will go with my opinion.
Getting a message the number I dialed is not in service!
Director Arleen Ocasio at 281-447-8686 (extension 206)
Can not leave a message at the above number either.
Cowards!
PUT THIS ON FACEBOOK. EMAIL THE ARTICLE. Sound the alarm!
Contacting Congress is all well and good, but the American People need to hear about this, loud and clear.
Even a lot of Democrats and Obama Supporters will be HORRIFIED at this.
But I may reconsider, specially for military funerals. And I WILL bring a bible with me (never did that before!) and will participate in any and all prayers that mention God or Jesus Christ.
Come and get me!
