...While Claiming to Support Separation of Church and State

Mark Kirk joined the Republicans in a special vote to intervene in the Terri Schiavo Case, forcing the courts to reconsider the issue, despite the opinion of every medical authority.

“I am a passionate supporter of the separation of church and state...”- Mark Kirk

3/27/03: Voted for a national day of prayer.

6/4/06: “In Congress we had a resolution to call for a National Day of Prayer after September 11th. I was one of three republicans to vote against that resolution because I did not want the Congress calling for prayer as a state policy I wanted that left to the people's individual conscience.” - Mark Kirk
Failed Test

Kirk voted to have the federal government buy a giant cross in San Diego, to circumvent 17 years of court orders that the religious icon did not belong on San Diego city property, including a unanimous ruling by the California Court of Appeals.

He received a big “F” from Americans United For Separation of Church and State.
