National Day of Prayer

Good news everybody, George W. Bush has proclaimed May 4th 2006 as the National Day of Prayer:

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 4, 2006, as a National Day of Prayer. I ask the citizens of our Nation to give thanks, each according to his or her own faith, for the freedoms and blessings we have received and for God’s continued guidance and protection. I urge all Americans to join in observing this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

This is horrible news for patients with heart problems.
