The ACLU seldom attacks any entity with major influence and political power. Instead, it wages warfare on small towns, cities of little wealth, school districts, and nonprofit organizations. It attacks them with threatened or actual litigation, often winning unwarranted settlements from public officials and organizations afraid of extensive court battles.

The ACLU should be considered a greater enemy to the Republic than al Qaeda, yet the US government itself actually contributes to it's budget.

WHY??

[Clintonfatigued]

These frivolous lawsuits that the ACLU launches have very little support with the public at large. So where does the ACLU get the money to function from?

I abhorr much of what the ACLU does, but Adam and Eve and creationism has no place in biology class.

The ACLU only succeeds because judges consistently rule in their favor. I'm sure that if you investigated the background of judges you would find that many have an old ACLU membership in there somewhere. Being a member of the ACLU at any time in the past should automatically disqualify a lawyer from ruling on any ACLU backed lawsuit. This group has deliberately set out to sabotage the Christian faith and remove it from the center of American political and moral thought. Ex-members now hold many judgeships and cannot issue unbiased rulings in the kinds of issues that the ACLU pursues.
Their motto should be: "Why seek change through the ballot box when the legal system is more easily manipulated".

Just fight back. Break the laws and make them prosecute you. Then unite, and march on Washington. The little Target boycott was just the beginning. Hit those who support Christian bashing in the wallet, the only heart they have

The Founders' acknowledgement of Creator-endowed life, rights, and liberty constituted the foundation for their Constitution.

That idea, encapsulated in the words of the Declaration, disputed all ideas that the rights of ANY individual are derived from, or can be considered to be grants of, any other human being or collection of human beings in positions of power in government.

When the central idea underlying the protections of the United States Constitution is permitted to be eradicated from public discourse and public places, upon what basis will future generations base their understanding of rights and liberty? Either the rights and liberties of individuals are PRIOR TO to their becoming a part of a civic society, or they are GRANTS OF that civic society's ruler or ruling body. America's Founders were knowledgeable enough of the history of civilization to understand the human tendency toward abuse of power, whether by one or by many. The power of THEIR idea was their recognition of the Source of life, liberty, and rights, and the need to protect them through a written Constitution, amendable by THE PEOPLE only.

As that recognition is removed from the minds of citizens by organizations claiming to "protect" their rights, one can anticipate approaching tyranny.

"Christianity attacked by ACLU"

This is news??? To whom?

I think the answer is to put what the ACLU is doing second and go for the jugular vein by lobbying Congress to place a referendum on the next national election to make the ACLU a political party or 527 type of group and make their donations become private donations taxable by the Federal Government. The second alternative is to make it a check box on something like drivers license renewal, and in time the entire population would filter through the process. With the ACLU weakened the battle could still be waged against them in court and the tide would turn in concert with the changes occurring on the Supreme Court

Problem is they do not fight the ACLU directly.. What needs to be done is to sue the ACLU directly every time they sue. Sue to get our tax money back for there is nothing in our Constitution that allows money to be given to an organization whose sole purpose in the destruction of the United States.

You left out another attempt by the ACLU to remove any symbols of Christianity from the public square. Los Angeles County has a small cross on the County Seal. The cross is a historical reminder to recognize that Los Angeles was founded by Christian missionaries. The cross has been on the County Seal for nearly 50 years.

The ACLU sent a letter to the County Board of Supervisors threatening litigation if the cross wasn't removed from the County Seal. There are five members of the County Board of Supervisors. Two are Republican and three are Democrats. The two Republican members of the Board voted to challenge the ACLU, the three Democrats folded and by a three to two vote agreed to remove the cross.

There is no way anyone in their right mind can consider that a cross on the Los Angeles County Seal in any way violates the letter or the spirit of the First Amendment.

We asked the Board of Supervisors to put it to a vote of the people, which they rejected three to two. One of the Democrats is a latina, and her community is strongly opposed to the removal of the cross.

In any event, we are circulating petitions in Los Angeles County. If we get 365,000 signatures the Board will be forced to retain the present seal (with the cross).

We are running out of time. The deadline for having the signatures is March 1st. We have close to 200,000 and need to get the balance in the next few weeks.

If any of you living in Los Angeles County aren't aware of this issue, and haven't yet signed the petition, please go to http://www.ourfirstamendment.org where you can see the County Seal and download a petition.

If you want more information, contact me.

We need all the signature we can get in the next few weeks.
