Atheists want Jesus statue "kicked off" ski resort in Montana.

DennyRehberg on Oct 19, 2011 Congressman Rehberg: "When I visited it earlier this year, I saw first-hand that this memorial is an irreplaceable part of our state's history and a unique and colorful part of the local culture. The Forest Service's denial of the lease defies common sense. Using a tiny section of public land for a war memorial with religious themes is not the same as establishing a state religion. That's true whether it's a cross or a Star of David on a headstone in the Arlington National Cemetery, an angel on the Montana Vietnam Memorial in Missoula or a statue of Jesus on Big Mountain. The Forest Service is just flat wrong to deny this lease on those grounds, and I'm working hard to get them to do the right thing." - Denny Rehberg
