The national elections offer an excellent opportunity for state legislatures for pull a fast one on the public.  The Florida state legislature has proposed 11 amendments to the Florida constitution to be voted on November 6.  Several of them deal with homestead tax exemptions and one concerns the appointment of a student body president to the state university system's board of governors.  But look closely you will find "Prohibition on Public Funding of Abortions; Construction of Abortion Rights."  As you can imagine, it prohibits the use of public money for abortions "or for health-benefit coverage that includes coverage of abortion."   Fortunately, it still allows coverage for federally mandated cases like rape and incest (which Romney-Ryan want to eliminate).  Now take a look at Amendment Proposal 8 which is ludicrously called "Religious Freedom." But what it does is allow the state to give public money to religious organizations like churches, church schools and just about anything church affiliated.  After a bunch of drivel about how much Floridians value tolerance, liberty and the right of  people to practice their own religion, it specifies that one quarter of the state's current population is Roman Catholic and this amendment is intended to correct an 1885 amendment that "exists as a result of anti-Catholic bigotry and animus."  Now get this.  The lines they are cancelling from the old amendment make no mention of the Catholic Church, they just prohibit public money being given to any church.  The new amendment wording also does not mention the Catholic Church but allows public money to be given to any church-associated organization.  The Florida legislature is controlled by Republicans.  I will not insult your intelligence; you can draw your own conclusions.  Separation of church and state?
