*** Great post, BTW! I now have the link posted on my FR homepage!*****
DOH!! Why didn't *I* think of that!! LOLOL!! Thanks for the PING! :)
George Grant, author of "Trial and Error," puts the ACLU's annual budget (1993) at $14 MILLION (FOURTEEN MILLION DOLLARS) - much of which is "SUPPLIED BY THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER through the Federal program mandated by the Civil Rights Attorneys' Fee Awards Act of 1976. If the ACLU wins a case that involves a public institution, for instance, the organization collects the full legal fees of its attorneys even though those attorneys offered their services pro bono (without charge).
As Liz said: They have a collected a huge amount of our tax dollars, a left-handed fundraiser for the ACLU. Congress must repeal laws enabling the ACLU. FReepers can silence the ACLU with a bit of activism.
This sounds like an avenue to cut off the ACLU's funding. What specifically can we do?

Atheism itself is a conflicted mass of self-contradictions.
These are resources that have quotes by atheism on how bad and self-contradictory the evidence for atheism/evolution/big-bang-cosmology is.

I'm ALL IN! Let's Go! Bout Time!
Hey, you see this yet? PING
An excellent and worthy effort.
STEP ONE: We should contact our legislators demanding repeal. A friendly lawmaker must fashion a bill to repeal that FR can push.
STEP TWO The ACLU should be designated a "hate group."
STEP THREE Taxpayers must demand the ACLU open its books and let us see who is funding them (they have refused to do this).
STEP FOUR The IRS should determine whether the ACLU is properly accounting for all its activities, whether it is inflating legal costs, and whether it is using tax dollars for the purposes stated. We need to know whether the ACLU is engaged in Enron-style accounting and spending practices.
We can get on our Senators and Reps to repeal this law! That will severely handicap their efforts! It's one reason they keep bringing these lawsuits against us.
Ping.
You're welcome!
