GO John Hostettler, make them fight for their own money.
Where's the part where we can get a bounty for bringing in a furry ACLU pelt?

Rep. John Hostettler, R-Ind., filed a measure to amend the Civil Rights Attorney's Fees Act of 1976, 42 U.S.C. Section 1988, to prohibit prevailing parties from being awarded attorneys fee in religious establishment cases, but not in other civil rights filings. If you want to corral the ACLU, then consider a letter or email to your Congressman urging them to cosponsor this legislation. Here's a short description of the bill, it's too new to have been published in thomas.loc.gov yet.
Short and simple. If enacted it would cut off the life-blood of the ACLU and other vampires that feed on our country.

Thanks John Hostettler, for bringing this forward. GO INDIANA!
I believe so. Please help get news of this bill out far and wide. The battle is beginning.
Hello muawiyah... It's not there because snakes don't have furry pelts!
Darned, just darned~! Maybe we could make belts out of them ~ get a big shiny truck driver belt, or maybe one of those race car driver things.
As I have previously expressed in various posts, I do have some problems with some aspects of the Christian Right's agenda, but I would support this act. Too much time, money and energy has been spent in trying to get God out of public life while screaming about separation of Church and State (we all know the left's interpretation of this is absolutely false). As many in FR have expressed, why are "atheists" so angry, afraid, or whatever about something they claim doesn't exist? It's more as if they were God-haters or Judeo-Christian haters. I have never seen the ACLU, American Atheist Society or any other group that has a penchant for filing law suits in reference to the separation clause do so when it comes to let's say "Pagan-Wicca groups". Not that pagans shouldn't have the right to express their beliefs publicly as well (Hey I think solstice celebrations are cool.....don't know if I really want to join a coven though). This Act will clarify or more possibly force the Supremes to identify what the separation of church and state really means as well as taking the wind out of the ACLU.
Trying to cleanup these kind of snakes is hard. The garbage they live in is hard to get off.

Thank you! Please spread the word. We can cut the ACLU off from the taxpayer teat.
