Rewriting the First Amendment
by the ACLU
The ACLU's crusade against religion should be no secret to anyone. The organization is well know for its stand against any signs of religion in government buildings or practices.
But it seems when it comes the U.S. constitution, the ACLU has taken matters into it own hands, well, at least as it sites the first amendment on its web page section dealing with free speech.
Here is how the first amendment appears to the ACLU on its web site. (link Here)
"Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."- as quoted by the ACLU
Something in the passage above is amiss, has been omitted, replaced with ( "...") in the ACLU's recitation of this important amendment. Have a look at the original wording of the first amendment below and see if you can see what the ACLU left out.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The ACLU has taken it upon itself to edit out all reference to religion in the first amendment, which by the way comes ahead of free speech.
We understand ACLU has its views on what the first amendment means and respect its free speech rights to debate it. That debate, however, ought to be legitimate. Altering the text of the first amendment to suits it ends is anything but legitimate. It's downright deceptive. Shame.

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

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 group just started on December 3, 2004 and are looking for new members to their yahoo group
I am willing to bet that a change in leadership with-in the ACLU in the past 10 years or so has brought about this SECULAR position on the ACLU organization.
You'd lose that bet. The ACLU was formed in New York in the 1920's and was Communist from the get go. They have been so successful that it is no longer necessary to hide it.
I don't understand why this is a bad thing. They no have no basis to sue us for putting religious symbols in public places. When they scream about they constitution, we can just say, "We'll, according to you, the First Amendment doesn't include religion."

You're part of the "gay" agenda?
Then prepare to be upset.The ACLU have always been oriented towards communism, but in order to gain the trust {and financial backing) of Americans, they've pretended to be something other than what they really are. Apparently they feel secure enough now to drop the pretenses.
ACLU= American Communist Losers Union
It is time the ACLU is dropped off the face of the earth.
I just sent them a little feedback:
I have heard folks complaining about your editing of the first ammendment on your 'free speech' page. Don't bow to their pressure and accurately reflect the first ammendment. This isn't a truth issue, it is a first ammendment issue. Thanks for taking this stand.
Terrible how this country wastes money. It is corrupution, pure and simple.
Brilliant!
You've got that eagerly gullible lefty cognitive dissonance down pat!
Enemy of the PEOPLE...
I knew your position from the many astute and right on target comments you've made! Therefore your statement that you were part of the "gay" agenda gave me pause.
Or paws, I'm dealing with 5 unasked for cats lately. Do you want one? They're outside cats, eat anything. I'll deliver.
I remember when the word "gay" meant happy and carefree.
Ping!

Thanks for the links...it seems that the All Communists & Leftwing Union has continually gone too far, rewriting the Constitution now too, my don't they think alot of themselves!
We can no longer live with these people. Either they need to leave to the US, or we need to split the nation and force them to move to some other part.
