Petition to the President of the United States and Members of Congress

I speak as an American citizen. The recent decision of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco where the Pledge of Allegiance was ruled Unconstitutional is an attack on America by way of the legal system. We are indeed "One Nation Under God."

To declare that anyone who pledges allegiance to the Flag of our Country is breaking the law is to declare the President of the United States and every member of Congress to be law breakers.

It has become abundantly clear that the two judges that voted for this must be impeached and removed from office. Please use the authority that you have been invested with and immediately vote to impeach judges Stephen Reinhardt and Alfred Goodwin.

Signed. I think I'm up to 4 petitions on this subject. Keep 'em comin'!

[Jeff Head]

Signed!

How can we tell how many are signing?

That helps a lot when getting people going on it ... I have found that people watch those numbers ... read the comments ... it gets them enthused and they go out and find more to sign.

Let the Supreme Court Know what you really think.CLICK(4000 and growing fast)

[Jeff Head]

That one is REALLY taking off ... but it is not the one on this thread. Etherzone is running a copy of it that links to PetitionOnline signature page.

That's the one I wrote ... check out signature number one.

Semper FI!

Spread the ord to all you know because I believe thisone will really be a mover ... and ell it should be.

To declare that anyone who pledges allegiance to the Flag of our Country is breaking the law is to declare...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Court decide that reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools was unconstitutional? That's a far cry from simply arresting anyone for reciting the pledge.

[Greybird]

To declare that anyone who pledges allegiance to the Flag of our Country is breaking the law is to declare the President of the United States and every member of Congress to be law breakers.

That may well be ... but it has nothing whatsoever to do with the appellate court decision announced yesterday. It said that Congress did not follow the Constitution in 1954 when it inserted "under God" in the Pledge.

It's not that those who take a thus altered Pledge are "breaking the law." It's that the law is what is violating the Constitution. Whether you agree or not, that was the ruling.

To top such failure to read what was done with a call for impeachment -- because of a decision you dislike, rather than malfeasance or misbehavior -- compounds the absurdity.

To believe in the "value" of always-unread, bit-bucket-bound Internet petitions -- a step of uselessness beyond paper petitions, which at least can be photographed on the Capitol steps -- is to put a cherry on top of it all.

[DBtoo]

Thank you. I signed.

[DBtoo]

Signed that one too. This whole thing is very ominous.

It's better than nothing; if there are enough of them it could make a difference.

Look at the timing of this ATTACK on America's belief in God. It is just DAYS before July 4th.

What if America does suffer Terrorist Attacks on July 4th? We'll be so distracted by the events, that in 45 days when this Ninth Court Ruling is due for review...

No one will even care anymore. And without Public Protest, ONE NATION UNDER GOD will disappear forever.

No matter what happens, we must REMEMBER to fight this assault on the Pledge of Allegiance. It's a fight for Liberty, and the Freedom to Believe...

Look at the timing of this ATTACK on America's belief in God. It is just DAYS before July 4th.

And, it was on the SAME DAY that Lee Greenwood's new song was released, "I Pleadge Allegiance."

[Joy Angela]

Have you heard that the daughter whose dad brought the suit to the Ninth Circuit, will be on the TODAY show with her mother on Monday morning?

According to a caller in to the Drudge Radio Show tonight, the mom and daughter are Christians who did not support the father's lawsuit!

Wow. If this is true, this should be VERY interesting!

[ppaul]

Today Show?
Any updates?

[Joy Angela]

Is Newdow's Daughter a CHRISTIAN? Mother and Daughter were supposed to be on the Today Show 7-1...re: caller to Drudge Show Sunday night..

Michael Newdow, the atheist activist who brought the suit challenging the Pledge of Allegiance as unconstitutional, claimed in the suit that he was trying to protect his grade school daughter from being forced to sit and listen while her teachers led other students in the pledge.

Newdow told Fox News that his 8-year-old daughter voluntarily says the pledge along with her classmates. He also said--quote--"this is more about me than her. I'd like to keep her out of this."

IS THAT A CLUE???
