Okay, everybody take a deep breath.

They did not, I repeat DID NOT ban the display of crosses.

IF your placard fits the establish guidelines, you may paint crosses or other religious symbols to your hearts content.

What you may NOT do is carry a 12 ft. wooden cross.

There's a big difference here, and it's really disturbing that FOTF has bought into this.

FOTF is trying to spin this fake issue to create hysteria. (Fund raising time)

Well put.

One can paint a cross on your sign, cut a cardboard or foamboard sign into a cross (must be 1/4 inch or less thick) or wear a small cross on a necklace.

You can't bring a cross of wood or other material of a size that it might be used as a weapon. Bringing structures that might be used as weapons is is a serious problem because of leftists' misbehavior. Thus, there are restrictions on signs and other materials that can be brought.

Unfortunately, when the leftists are restricted as to items that can be brought, the same rules MUST apply to all.

If the rule were different, I guarantee that some leftists would pose as religious people and bring three to five foot crosses, which they would then use as weapons against police and pro-Bush parade watchers.
