Add your name to the group of 9,996 people who have already signed using the Internet!

The Rev. Dr. Michael A. Newdow is threatening to rob this nation of one of the most critical traditions of Presidential Inauguration ... prayer. Please read the petition carefully and declare your membership with the ACLJ by filling out the form and demanding our Senators stand firm in our historical heritage and allow the expression of prayer during this important event for America.

Petition to Preserve the Inaugural Prayer

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid All members of the United States Senate

Every President since George Washington has invoked assistance from God and asked for the blessing of the nation and its people. The inaugural prayer is part of our history and heritage of this country.

We stand with the American Center for Law and Justice in its legal efforts to support the Department of Justice as it defends the constitutionality of the inaugural prayer in this latest legal challenge.

We also call on the leadership of the U.S. Senate — which has authority to control the inaugural ceremony itself — to stand firm and permit the expression of prayer when President Bush takes the oath of office on January 20th.

Maybe in this case "Rev" stands for REVILED.

You know a better question than how is why. Why would he want to be a reverend if he is an atheist?

Sure is. If you want to be ordained a minister...just do it online with the Universal Church of Life. "All paths lead the Universal Church". LOL

You can join the fight against the ACLU and their ilk by becoming involved with and supporting the following organizations:

Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) - http://www.alliancedefensefund.org

Thomas More Law Center (TMLC) - http://www.thomasmore.org

American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) - http://www.aclj.org

The Rutherford Institute - http://www.rutherford.org/

Stop the ACLU Coalition - http://www.stoptheaclu.org


Here are a few examples of how two of those organizations are fighting back:

ADF Contacts Over 3,600 School Districts Over Attempts To Censor Christmas

ADF: 700 lawyers ready to fight ACLU lawsuits

ADF: Pentagons' Warning About Boyscouts Is Absurd

Thomas More Law Center: Town of Palm Beach Pays $50,000 In Attorney Fees Apologizes To Women In Nativity Lawsuit


Additional information:

The ACLU must be destroyed: Joseph Farah supports Boy Scouts, urges Americans to fight back

Citizens mobilized to stop ACLU (seeks to consign group to 'ash heap of history')

ACLU fulfilling communist agenda

Revealing FACTS on the ACLU from its own writings

See how YOUR Senator or Representative ranks with the ACLU

This yahoo group just started on December 3, 2004 and is looking for new members
