The state has NO business collecting funds for a religious organization- especially one along the lines of Focus on the Family. This is an outrageous violation of the separation of church and state!!!

Calm down no need to get your knickers in a twist!

The $1 contribution is entirely voluntary, there is no pressure on anybody to contribute to this wonderful cause if they don't want to.

Other causes collect money through a similar process, including nebulous pursuits like Save The Whale!

Are you seriously suggesting that preserving families is less important than saving whales???
