Support for HR 2679 (Establishment Clause Reform)

Hat Tip to Stop The ACLU for giving me the heads up. Follow the below link and sing the petition. I will let STACLU explain it as he knows the issue better than I:

Dear Friends:

We have two important items occurring today concerning the ACLU that we believe you want to be apprised of. Please feel free to share this with others.

First, Mat Staver of the public law firm Liberty Counsel is in Washington today testifying in favor of HR 2679, legislation that would prevent the likes of the ACLU from collecting legal fees in the case of adverse rulings regarding public display of the 10 Commandments and religious symbols.

You can read Liberty's press release and prepared Congressional testimony by clicking here. There may be a video link on their site as well by the time you receive this, please check their site for more information.

If you have not signed the two petitions linked on our web site to urge Congress to reform Establishment Clause litigation, please do so today by going here. And contact your Congressmen to support HR 2679 which is sponsored by Rep. John Hostettler of Indiana.

This legislation is currently in this House subcommittee with no immediate plans to bring it to the floor for a vote. It needs to be passed out of committee to get to the floor. Therefore, we need you to contact your elected officials which you can locate by going here.

There is currently no sponsor of this legislation in the U.S. Senate. I urge you to contact your senators, especially if they are conservative and Republican, to urge them to sponsor this bill in the Senate. We need to get this bill passed and signed into law so the ACLU and similar groups will be unable to collect in such cases which are determined simply because someone was offended. It is not a perfect bill. It would be better if the likes of the ACLU was blocked from being able to sue to begin with or if the legislation included a "loser pays" which would also make the ACLU think about filing the cases. But it's an excellent start.

Secondly, you may not be aware of this but the ACLU is being sued under RICO laws by one of our supporters. You can read about Bobby Wightman-Cervantes case by going here, then clicking the ACLU link on the page and then reading the PDF report inside that link. I encourage you to read the complaint and share this with others who despise the ACLU.

Bobby told Stop the ACLU yesterday that he expected to serve ACLU Executive Director Tony Romero with legal papers this morning with other ACLU personnel being served in due course.

Suing the ACLU is a tall order and an uphill battle but we believe this is a very good start, regardless of the outcome. We support Bobby in his efforts to rein in this Communist organization.

If you wish to contact Bobby, the information is on his web site. And if you live in Texas, Bobby's home state, especially near his office in Brownsville, please do so as he needs all the moral support and encouragement he can get.

And bookmark Bobby's site as well. We will post info on the web site as we have information available.

We also have a very important announcement we'll be making tomorrow or Saturday so be looking for that e-mail as well.

Thank you for your support of the Coalition.

Kind Regards,

Nedd Kareiva
Director

P.S. As this was going to the e-mail servers, I heard Rush discuss this piece on the ACLU. If you ever doubted the ACLU's ties to Communism, this will confirm it.
