The Resume

(June 24, 1953- )
Won the removal of 'one nation under God' from the Pledge of Allegiance (June 26, 2002)
Upset by the term 'in God we trust' on US currency

Why he might be annoying:

He received death threats from people who believe in God.
Some think he is forcing his beliefs on them.
After the ruling, congress recited the Pledge of Allegiance with the words 'Under God.'
The case will most likely go to the U.S. Supreme Court.
If it is ruled that 'in God we trust' must come off U.S. currency, it will cost a fortune to replace all current currency.
His daughter's mother (he never married her) has custody of his child and doesn't agree with his efforts.

Why he might not be annoying:

He believes people have a right to believe in God if they want to but don't have the right to force it on other people.
He stands up for what he believes in.
He wants to add words that are non gender specific such as 're' to replace 'he/she,' 'rees' to replace 'his/hers' and 'erm' to replace 'him/her.'
He earned a degree in Biology and his Juris Doctorate at the Universitry of Michigan.
