Dear liberty activist,
A wayward federal appeals court ruled today that reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools in unconstitutional. For decades, federal judges have warped, shredded and outright ignored the Constitution of the United States.
Liberty Caucus member Roscoe Bartlett put it well: "Today's decision by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is a ludicrous and factually inaccurate misinterpretation of the establishment clause of the First Amendment. Every one of our founders is turning over in their grave."
We can correct this horrific court decision. On June 12, 2002, Congressman Ron Paul introduced The First Amendment Restoration Act (H.R. 4922) -- and it brilliantly and completely tells this warped court that they are not only out of line, but it tells them this is none of their business in the first place.
Tonight on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, members of Congress assembled in front of invited television cameras to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. That nice photo opportunity isn't enough, not one of them is a cosponsor of H.R. 4922. Not one...NOT YET.
It's up to you to tell your elected representative: Don't just talk the talk and pose before the cameras -- take action.
To read this remarkable piece of timely legislation, (you will thank Congressman Paul for the foresight to have had it meticulously prepared and submitted two weeks ago) go to http://www.thelibertycommittee.org/hr4922.htm
Then, send your elected representative an unmistakable message in your own words by clicking "Take Action Now" on that same page.
Rarely are we handed such an opportunity. Much of the American public is focused on this single issue just hours after the court announced its decision. The runaway federal judiciary has gone too far. We can hang them with their own decision.
We can make history if we rise to the occasion. More than ever, it is up to you.
More will follow soon.
