Georgia Governor Caves to Big Business, Vetoes Religious Freedom Bill
Georgia's Republican Governor Nathan Deal has caved to pressure from big business and special interests and vetoed a very modest religious liberty bill.

But those traditions are a problem, according to Americans United for Separation of Church and State, a Washington, D.C.-based group that loves to put its nose in other people's business — especially when it comes to public displays of the Christian faith.
