Right on mr king!!!

You are to be admired for addressing the issue. Please consider supporting Rick Santorum, he aligns with your record and beliefs the most, it seems, is that right?

Of course Fox won't tell you that this memo was directed at a specific group. Friends and family are still allowed to bring whatever they want, and bibles and other religious services can definately still be requested through chaplains. All this does is prevent unrelated groups to go in and proselytize to wounded soldiers without their request, just like some earlier new guidelines don't allow outside groups to proselytize at their funerals against the wishes of he family or diseased ...

Instead of making this a Congressional issue, why don't our Congressmen and -women focus on more pressing concerns? Have they fixed the budget? Have they fixed unemployment? Have they fixed the trade deficit? Have they fixed the national debt? Walter Reed admitted to making a mistake and corrected it, we don't need a Congressional "investigation" into this. Yet more of our tax dollars flushed down the toilet because this is more attention-getting than the above issues.

@mrbubetube....If you listen to Fox News and think your getting "News," you are sadly mistaken. When I listen to MSNBC, I am smart enough to know that not getting news, I am getting left wing rhetoric. Learn the difference between news and rhetoric. Ignorance of this is exactly what is keeping our legislators in Washington from getting anything done.

@ishouldaknownbetter the policy did not say "no proselytizing", it said "no religious materials" can be brought in or used during a visit. YOU'RE the ignorant one, and a liar as well.

The so called "Bible Ban" at Walter Reed was to keep strangers from coming into the hospital and pushing religion on patients unknown to them. If you want to keep appealing to ignorant right wingers by taking things out of context to make your point, keep it up. It just makes us realize how unintelligent you are, Steve King. You are an embarrassment to our state and I truly believe that the the people of our state will remove you from your office in the next election.

Congressman King,

Thank you for sticking up for and defending the basic rights and freedoms of average, patriotic Americans.
