mr. chairman , i first yield myself 1 minute to say i do not think it is a fair characterization of the low-income housing activities of the catholic church or other organizations that they are trying to back up the truck to the treasury .  in the first place , there is no debate that every penny in the affordable housing fund goes for affordable housing .  the question is , what do you have to give up as a choice of doing the affordable housing .  every faith organization in america , every protestant denomination , every branch of judaism , and the roman catholic church says we do housing , and the gentleman is right .  they could simply refuse to take any money from this and go forward , because they are not eligible for money from this .  why do that ?  why say to the faith-based organization , whatever happened to your belief in the importance of helping faith-based organizations ?  is it over already , that romance ?  because that is what we just want to change .  all we want is to allow our religious organizations in part to be able to participate without stopping their voter registration and other activity .
