Do you or anyone else have any good idea for sign slogans?

Prager suggests strongly that the signs not be overtly Christian – his point is that this is more about history (the history of California) than it is about religion per say or Christianity in particular.

While i certainly understand Pragers point, (and that was the same tactic used by Campaign for California Families when they had that anti-gay marriage rally.. not to 'focus' too much on religion, as the media would then try to pigeonhole the 'only opposition' as 'pesky religious types')/

In reality we have every right to focus on religion and Christianity in particular. heck, the aclu is lucky it's not a crucifix on the seal! LOL. since the 'missions' were Catholic.

By cowering down and being 'afraid' to mention Christianity, that misses the point. the fact is, its irrelevent whether this has to do with history or not. because the aclu FALSE arguement about 'separation of church and state' is a myth. the Constitution forbids Congress from establishing a religion.; or preventing the free exersize thereof.

what this does is limit congress. the Congress or the aclu have no authority to meddle or dictate what a city or county has on its seal. even if it IS BLATANTLY CHRISTIAN. so no, i won't 'cower down' and pretend this aint about Christianity. The truth is I was going to attend this meeting long before i heard Prager was going to be there. His presence is irrelevent to me.

The truth is, when these conservative groups cower down and are 'intimidted' & 'afraid' to mention religion or Judeo-Christian principles and instead claim theyre just 'degending history', what they are doing is CONCEDING to the aclu's false arguements, as if they have a shred of validity.

Neither The ACLU or their arguements have any validity whatsoever. The ACLU is a communist front group; that is why they were originally established; and their goal, among other things, is to remove all signs of God from all public life.
