In February, CFI urged members of the U.S. House of Representatives to reject H.R. 592, a bill that would allow taxpayer funding to go towards the rebuilding of damaged houses of worship. In March, CFI joined representatives from several groups to meet with aides to Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI), Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), and Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL). Our goal was to convince these senators to oppose the Senate introduction of H.R. 592. The measure remains unfiled.
