If you live in Los Angeles County, or know someone who does, please take immediate action, then forward this alert to others
This week, three Democrats on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to remove a small cross, but keep a large pagan goddess, on the official county seal. The vote was 3 to 2, Democrats in favor of removing the cross, Republicans in favor of keeping the cross.
The ACLU, which had threatened the board, was pleased, but millions of Los Angeles residents are not. Conservative Republican Supervisor Mike Antonovich is fighting for a re-vote and will bring up the matter again at the Tuesday, June 8 supervisors meeting. A change of heart of JUST ONE supervisor will make the difference. A flood of phone calls are needed to the three Democrat supervisors, telling them to "Keep the cross in the county seal. This is our history and our faith and you need to change your vote now!"

It's a non starter in a court of law. La Cross is history.
If they remove the cross, not only should they remove the goddess Pomona, they also better change the county name from "Los Angeles." If they're banning religious expression, they better ban all of it.
Not to worry, I'm sure the Mexicans will restore it in due time.
Thank you . I phoned all three offices yesterday. It's not so much the cross that is the issue to me it is that the ACLU is stampeding over every last shred of unrevised history and viciously attacking any symbol of God or Christianity.
Man who are these people , where do they get the time for this ?
Evidently Yaraslovski is the only one fighting back , all the others are on the ACLU side .
Burke came out on the radio and mentioned that it is just just the "religious fanatics "( I guess that is me ?) who want to keep this cross at any cost.
Even if you are not in LA this traveling show will be coming to your town soon,
Same clowns who ripped down the ten commandments ,
Burke even mentioned that , saying that religious fanatics ruined the carrer of that judge who fought it
Boy am I ready to friggen snap
I get tired of liberals insulting people of faith and rest assured, the residents of Los Angeles County, where I live, aren't going to take Yvonne Burke's bigotry against believers lying down.
Well actually Los Angeles should be changed to "La Allah" being that they seem to have no problem mandating (yes mandating) the teaching of Islam in public schools. The Cali Legislature mandates that all 8th graders take a 3 week course in Islam, which includes adopting an Islamic name and garb. But a tiny cross on a seal that people probably didn`t even know about is Verbotten! That`s why I tend to call Cali Allahfornia now...The only other place that mandates the teaching of Islam is Islamic states in the middle east, usually the ones that have no problem making a bed for Al Qaida.
I'll take the Mexicans over the Liberals in Kaliforna any day.
Force Los Angeles to change its name to Los Angles.
Change San Fernando to Mr. Fernando.
Change Mission street to Missing Street.
Change the motto from the "City of the Angels" to the "City of the Angles."
Call your ACLU Representative today!

According to BILL O'REILLY "These People" are secularists out to destory all semblence of Right and Wrong and Justice for Wrongs that come for our Country's Christian and Jewish Foundation.
According to BILL O'REILLY if Priests, Rabbis and Ministers don't get involved in this fight...
...they can kiss our Free Country...
.."ALOHA"..!!! And SOON.
This from BILL's Wednesday Night Talking Points segment of the FoX News Channel's 'The O'REILLY Factor" which I'm sure will be repeated over this weekend.

I just wonder how long it will be before the ACLU starts demanding churches take down their crosses. Although they're on private property they are visible to all and I'm sure they offend the ACLU. Don't laugh, it's just a matter of time! UGH!
It's ONLY Christianity (and its symbols) that upsets them so. Stars of David, no problem. Statues of Buddha, terrific. But their absolute favorite is the crescent moon.
Or maybe Los Atheists or Los Allah would be okay with the ACLU.
Maybe if enough people do that, they'll see how stupid the idea of taking the cross (which represents the Mission history of LA) off their seal.
Me too, I added Burke also. The only office that asked my name and address was Zev's. I happen to live in his district. That seems to be important to him. However I expect little for my and your efforts. We must try however.
Gloria Molina is in the Catholic district. By taking the stand against the cross she is taking a stand against the hispanic heritage of Los Angeles. this would be a good issue for a more conservative Hispanic candidate to use in a campaign against her. You might want to remind her of that.
The ACLU is the spawn of Satan.
SAVE LA CROSS!!!
LOL...I thought the same thing!
