Why not more of us in Congress?

[Darth]

Everyone has the right to run for public office, however they should have to declare what they believe about themselves,

For once in your miserable life you are right, G-C.

I want to know what stupid shit my elected representatives believe in. And dead jews coming back to life rates right on the top of my "Fuck You" list.

I disagree with GC, they shouldn't have to. Holding it as a personal requirement i.e. "tell me or you don't get my vote" is fine but politicians are typically granted even more free speech rights than anybody else (slander and whatnot). Having an actual legislative rule that requires politicians to reveal their personal beliefs wouldn't bode well for the rest of society imo.

also, american atheist politicians wouldn't fare to well...
