The shooting prompted a vote on Capitol Hill that's reportedly causing change in the Virginia-based Christian Coalition.
Televangelist and Coalition President Pat Robertson is reportedly upset with the Republican-led Senate's vote to create new gun control laws.
So he's taking away Executive Director Randy Tate's title, and sending him to Washington to become a more aggressive lobbyist.
The restructuring will give Robertson more authority in the Coalition.

42 holes are drilled into the casket. 3 80 pound sandbags are put inside.
A memo written by an aide to Defense Secretary McNamara records how the casket is moved from the Archives to a C-130 transport plane at Andrews Air Force Base on February 18, 1966. It is fitted with two parachutes to insure it won't break apart on landing. The crew flies to a point off the Delaware coast....

It would be a defensive battle. Watch North Carolina's Wesleyan's Andy Jones get robbed by third baseman Ryan Hartung who was playing in close on the play and makes the nice stab on the liner.
[SUPER=34-N.C. Wesleyan/1/St. Thomas/0;]N.C. Wesleyan would get one run. On to the bottom of the ninth, St. Thoma
s had the bases loaded with one out, but Brad Bonine hits into a double play and the Battling Bishops bench clears as the celebration erupts on the field after the 1-nothing national championship win.
