6. Unconstitutional?
Amendment I
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”

hjttp://www.whitehouse.gov/government/fbci/president-initiative.html
“Faith-based and community organizations (FBCOs) have a long tradition of helping Americans in need and together represent an integral part of our nation’s social service network. Yet, all too often, the Federal government has put in place complicated rules and regulations preventing FBCOs from competing for funds on an equal footing with other organizations. President Bush believes that besides being inherently unfair, such an approach can waste tax-payer dollars and cut off the poor from successful programs. Federal funds should be awarded to the most effective organizations—whether public or private, large or small, faith-based or secular—and all must be allowed to compete on a level playing field.”


I have to ask; where do you see something unconstitutional here?
