Dear Senator [Last Name], or
Dear President Bush:

As you know, liberal judges in San Francisco have declared our Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional. And in doing so, they declared all-out war on every man, woman, and child in America who believes in our basic right to the Freedom of Religion.

That is why I am asking you now -- directly and unequivocally -- to introduce and actively support a bill in the Senate to amend the Constitution to restore and protect Freedom of Religion. Nothing less will be sufficient.

Right now, there is a bill in the House of Representatives -- HJ Res 81, introduced by Rep. Ernest Istook -- that offers just such an amendment. I am asking you specifically to introduce a Senate version of that same bill and pass it into law without delay.

This ruthless assault on religious freedom has gone on long enough. Since 1961, when liberal activist judges ripped away the right to school prayer, we have seen our religious freedoms stripped away one by one. And now, the left is going in for the final kill.

Well, we say that enough is enough! That's why we are asking you now to step forward and stand up for religious freedom. It's too late for talk. Introduce and actively support the "Religious Freedom Restoration Amendment."

Sincerely,

(Your name and address)

Like it or not this country was founded on and is based on Christianity. The proof is overwhelmingly in our archives and founding documents. I am sorry you do not care for it but atleast have respect and intelligence enough to see what even the most leftist liberal in D.C. does.

So, I guess that makes your answer a resounding "YES". Your religion is so impotent that you require the assistance of government force to convince others to fund it and participate in it against our will.

Who cares about the Pledge of Allegiance? It isn't a founding document. It isn't even consistent with the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution! It is diametrically opposed to them, because it asserts that nobody has the right to throw off an oppressive government--because the "nation" is "indivisible."

The PLEDGE IS NOT "CONSERVATIVE"!!!!!

True, I can't argue with that, but the Pledge is now part of our culture. It's been taught in our schools for almost a century. And it's paying homage to a National Symbol, (the flag) invoking the name of God for our Protection, OUR FLAG. Title 4 of the American Code, protects the flag; it's a national symbol, which represents our country and the wars and bloodshed our servicemen gave to defend the flag. The very least we can do is pledge our allegiance to it. No?

Also, the 10th amendment does allow the states to have rights but where in our Constitution does it give permission to succeed (indivisible) from our union?

The Tenth Amendment does not ALLOW states to have rights. It declares that they retain all the powers that they do not explicitly delegate to the federal government. Since several states explicitly retained the right to secede, and since secession is a natural right that no state CAN relinquish, all the states have the right to secede.

One thing is certain: The right to secession, like the right to life, is not GRANTED to anyone by the Constitution. The Constitution does not grant a single right to ANYONE. The Constitution does only one thing: List and define the powers that the States delegate to the federal government.
