| 51 | A.J. O'Brien | VA | Perhaps Mr. Goode should study world religions. If he were to do so, he would be pleasantly surprised that all the major religions have something positive to offer people of faith. It is harmful to us as Americans to label all those of one religion or another as "evil." Surely, Mr. Goode realizes that there are good and evil people in all religions. |

| 61 | Colette Woidat | IL | I suggest Rep. Goode read the Constitution and refamiliarize himself with why our founding fathers chose to enter into war with England.
Freedom of religion!

| 64 | Jay Steiger | CA | Dear Representative Goode,
I hope you will honor the spirit of your fellow Virginian's, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, and show more respect for the many faiths practiced by the citizens of the United States. |

| 70 | Anonymous | VA | Your vile comments, belie a real character issue. Al Weed should have been elected over you just on inteeligence alone, especially after this bone-headed comment. And YOU even represent the area Thomas Jefferson was from-a man who wrote the religious freedom statue for VA-over 200yrs. ago. Wake up and smell the coffee and don't make the rest of us Virginians look at uneducated and plain dumb as your comments made you look to normal people. |
| 71 | Richard DiMatteo | CA | Ignorance is not bliss Virgil. Look how bad you feel about people who really aren't all that different from you. Try reading the Merchant of Venice, the part from the trial. |

Mr. Goode's type of Christianity makes us all look bad. |
| 73 | David Gierlach | | Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the Baha'i's - we all trace our lineage back to Abraham. Let's start acting like it. |

| 88 | Richard W. Harris | NJ | May I respectfully suggest that Representative Goode look for guidance from two fellow Virginians, one of whom, were he living today, would be a constiuent in Mr. Goode's 5th District. Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry enshrined the right to free exercise of religion in our Bill of Rights. Let's listen to our Founding Fathers. |

| 91 | Cori Batte-Garcia | NM | As the government chips away at the freedoms our soldiers are supposedly fighting for, shall we give up the right that the original settlers came to this country to obtain? The right to worship as our conscience dictates. |
| 92 | Anonymous | NY | Bigotry and xenophobia have no place in this country. It is important to take a stand against this type of ignorance and hatred in all but most especially in our own elected representatives. |
| 93 | Alexander Carpenter | CA | As a Christian, I support Congressman Ellison's freedom of religious expression today. As an American citizen, I call on the GOP leadership to support the constitution and pressure Goode to apologize. |

| 96 | Serenity P. Abler | TX | I stand with my brothers and sisters of all faiths seeking spiritual connection to whatever higher power via whatever path or religion they may seek through. I deplore prejudice of any kind be it religious, racial, gender, variance, orientation or any other form of bigotry that singles out those different from the norm to persecute. Christ would and will not condone it and neither will I.

| 100 | Mrs. Patricia Bilger | NV | I believe the Mr. Goode should step down from his office. For his unconstitution act. Even The Virginia Act For Establishing Religious Freedom - states
"Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly. That no man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burdened in his body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief, but that all men shall be free to profess, and by augument to maintain, their opinions in matters of religion, and that the same shall in nowise diminsh enlarge, or affect their civil capacities. |
