Right on, Speaker Hastert 1-202-225-2976.

Yes, it has now gone back to its original name --- the Capitol Christmas Tree.

[ErnBatavia]

Off-subject, but that sounds like the city of Palm Desert's Rec Departments Christmas party two or three years ago (I know a lady that was there and "participated")...

Since attendance at this daytime event was considered mandatory, the powers that be quietly decided that would be a good time to kinda lock everybody in and perform the surprise Drug Test.

[nopardons]

Good work, and something that should have been done. It is a Christmas tree and that's that!

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL! :-)

[newfrpr04]

Just called and left message for Speaker Hastert. I also mailed a Merry Christmas card with a Christmas Tree on the front and word of thanks. You're right if enough people continue to insist on American Traditions and values instead of having others define/change our traditions we might just be able to return America around.

[ErnBatavia]

but perhaps people have had enough of the assault from the left.

With FReepers like DFU on the west coast and Kristinn covering the east, we can't lose...

[Gone_Postal]

I am glad he a least addressed the issue. Hillary and Bill can have their "Holiday Trees"

Complete with condoms

[RightWhale]

A side note: In the original States, property ownership, usually real estate of a certain value and/or income, was required of voters, and the requirements were higher for office holders. In a couple of States, candidates for office also had to be Protestant. So much for separation of church and state.

[Txsleuth]

Good idea, Doug....

We really need to let these people know when we approve of what they do....otherwise, they will believe the media...when the media says the 99% of Americans would rather have it named the Holiday Tree...LOL

[Just A Nobody]

Thanks doug - I left my message! Merry CHRISTmas

[doug from upland]

Merry Christmas. These kinds of things make it even a little merrier.

[OpusatFR]

Ahh....I was so looking forward to the Eidkwanhaunu Tree.

The whole thing is ridiculous. Christian tradition is the only one with the tree and outlawing the word, Christmas, is offensive and discriminatory.

[shield]

Praise the Lord...glad to see some folks ARE ACTUALLY GETTING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lancey Howard]

O TannenbaumP !!

[Right_in_Virginia]

Bravo, Mr. Speaker! And, thank you.

[Churchillspirit]

All these attempts at inclusion will have exactly the opposite effect. It will cause folks to mix with their own kind and avoid groups with PC agendas.

You chose not to attend your firm's holiday party and I don't blame you.

Hope you and yours have a very happy Christmas.

[Sam's Army]

Thank you very much.

And Merry Christmas to you as well.

[Sam's Army]

Yep. Sad to say, but it's come down to in-your-face time for the culture war. It's about time we pushed back.

[Sam's Army]

Bet that provided an interesting juxtaposition. Puts a whole new twist on the "spirit of giving".
