[Apologetics] House approves Christmas resolution; 9 opposed

[Stephen Korsman]

"I would like to know how they could vote 'yes' on Islam, 'yes' on the Indian religions and 'no' on Christianity when the foundation of this nation and our American culture is Christianity.... I think there's an assault on Christianity," King told Fox News, according to a release from his office.

Of the nine representatives, all Democrats, who voted against the Christmas resolution, seven supported both the Ramadan and Diwali measures. Those seven were Reps. Gary Ackerman and Yvette Clarke, both of New York; Diana DeGette of Colorado; Jim McDermott of Washington; Bobby Scott of Virginia; and Pete Stark and Lynn Woolsey, both of California. Rep. Alcee Hastings of Florida did not vote on the Diwali resolution, and Rep. Barbara Lee failed to record a vote on the Ramadan measure.
