*By John Legreid Santa Monica*

No religious test shall be given for any public office job in the United States (U.S. Constitution AKT VI, 3).

For any segment of the media— radio, TV, or press — to give or facilitate this testing of any candidate by anyone is unconstitutional conduct and, therefore, un-American activity. So let such activity cease forthwith.

Enough already.
