How can we stop the ACLU and their destructive practices? One way is to shut down one of their many extortion rackets. We can force the ACLU to pay their own legal fees instead of forcing school districts and others to finance their racket.
Congressman Jim DeMint of South Carolina has introduced the Student Freedom of Religious Expression Act (HR 3319). Under Congressman DeMint's legislation, the ACLU would not longer be able to extort funds from public school systems. Instead of the ACLU forcing the school to pay their legal expenses, the ACLU would have to pay for their own legal fees!
Oddly, under current law, if the school wins, the ACLU does not pay the school's legal fees. However, if the ACLU wins, the school has to pay the legal fees of the ACLU, which can be outrageously expensive.
Let's say a student wants to mention God in a valedictory address. Right now, his school may refuse to allow him to mention God, because of fear of an ACLU lawsuit. This fear would not exist if the law were changed to require the ACLU to pay their own legal expenses, regardless of the outcome of a lawsuit.
As of the end of January, only ten congressmen, almost all of them from the Southern states, had co-sponsored the Bill. To get the attention of the leadership of the House, H.R. 3319 needs more congressional sponsors. If you have any interest in seeing the ACLU pay its own bills in these frivolous and threatening lawsuits, please call your congressman about the "Student Freedom of Religious Expression Act".

They are a very secretive organization, they don't want anyone being able to get to them. The Ford Foundation is one of their biggest donors. I would love to destroy them utterly, and this is a great way to begin.
