In 2007, TIA also focused its legislative efforts on increasing congressional support for: • The End Racial Profiling Act (ERPA), which would prohibit law enforcement from relying on the race, ethnicity, national origin or religion in selecting which individuals to subject to traffic stops or other routine investigatory activities. • The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which would provide basic protections against workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. All three bills will be introduced with sponsors and assigned a bill number in the near future. ""Increasingly, religion is being misused as a tool for advancing hate. • Introducing legislation reaffirming a basic principle – that all Americans should enjoy the strongest possible guarantee of freedom from religious discrimination and faith-based bigotry. In addition, TIA is also calling on Congress to conduct an in-depth investigation of the president's faith-based initiative. Former administration official David Kuo recently published a book, Tempting Faith, which makes serious allegations of government money flowing to fly-by-night religious charities rather than to more qualified organizations.
