WASHINGTON: A bill to educate law enforcement officers about the religious significance of ‘kirpans’ has been vetoed by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who found it** “unnecessary,”** drawing angry reaction from the Sikh community in the US.
The decision came as a **shock **to the organisations, individuals and lawmakers who supported the bill.
The veto was particularly surprising given bipartisan votes in favour of the bill in both houses of legislature, advocacy group Sikh Coalition said in a statement.
The bill was passed unanimously in both Houses, by 77-0 in the Assembly and by 36-0 in the Senate.

CALIFORNIA: Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a bill recognising gay marriages sanctioned in other states during the nearly five months such unions were legal in California.
Schwarzenegger said the action is consistent with a state Supreme Court ruling upholding the marriages of same-sex couples who tied the knot in California before voters approved Proposition 8.

Re: Strenght of Anti relegion lobby in USA
^ Nothing wrong in it. USA is not a theocratic state, and as long as laws are applied uniformly there is no reason to complain.
If one does not like it, they are free to move to a state which is more to their liking.
Re: Strenght of Anti relegion lobby in USA
