My email comment to those fine public officials and workers in Pasco County Florida was as follows:
I assume ALL Pasco County employees will be required to work on religious holidays keeping with the "separation of church and state."

Good idea.
My God is nature and my bible the golded rule so I am not one to normally defend Chritianity.......Nontheless, this kind of thing is simply disgusting and I abhor people who make these kinds of totally unnecesary, inflamatory, most certainly divisive, and I am sure hurtful decisions.
I have relatives who live over there..I am in the central part of the state...I will forward this to them.
If the populace stands for it, then they share the blame. Vote the clowns out, recall them, do whatever's necessary! A little civil disobedience is certainly not out of the question. I'd like to see these Nazis trying to arrest hundreds for placing a Christmas tree on public property. I thought Pasco County was red. Now it appears to be pink.
Yes, we agree in general but I don't believe the average American citizen is either "watching" the ACLU or has the vaguest notion of how this group has been working to destroy traditional America as I felt you inferred.
In any case: Have a great day.
Leni...I lived in Naples/Marco Island for 3 yrs and even I couldn't have said it better!
My mistake, to be politically correct I should have said in my emails,
,,,,ALL Pasco County employees and officials will be required to work on ALL religious holidays.
Sooner or later I will get it right.
Your right, alot of Americans still aren't aware that the aclu has an (anti-American) agenda. But i believe that is changing. The anti-xmas issues are getting nat'l coverage. The Judge Moore /10 commandments controversy got me interested in the aclu. I think it's just a matter of time before Americans become fed up enough to insist on changes.

This is not just a US problem - it's happening all over.
"Not wanting to be the grinches who stole the Christmas spirit, Pasco County officials bowed to intense public pressure Friday by ending a brief ban on Christmas tree displays in libraries and other public places.
"Hundreds of phone calls were logged at county switchboards and national news media pounced on the story.
"Pasco officials continue to ban displays of religious symbols in county buildings."
Well, freepers, after agonizing research, soul-searching and expenditure of tax dollars, the Pasco County Attorney's office came up with the fact that Christmas trees, ornaments, Santa figurines, candy canes, etc. are regarded as secular, not religious, symbols....per United State Supreme Court decisions.
Chalk up another one for the emailers and phoner-inners. I live in this county and did my small bit. You never know when your one lone email or telephone call will help turn a tide.
