Protect the Pledge of Allegiance!

For 226 years America and her flag have stood for Independence, Liberty, Freedom and Justice. Fellow Americans, let us join as one in our stand against terrorism and tyranny. Imagine the uplifting effect of four million patriots proudly declaring, "I Pledge Allegiance to the United States of America." Take one minute of your time and add your name to the Pledge of Allegiance. Help inspire confidence and strengthen our collective resolve. Take the action of a patriot. NOW. God bless America.

On June 25th, 2002, the 9th Circuit Federal Court of Appeals ruled that the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional and cannot be recited in public schools because it contains the words "under God." This unbelievable and absurd ruling is yet another salvo from activist judges more interested in making their own law rather than following the Constitution.

After months of anxious waiting, the Supreme Court has announced it will hear the case against the Pledge of Allegiance. The Christian Family Coalition is calling on ALL who support the phrase "One nation under God" should remain in the Pledge to take immediate action by signing our "Protect the Pledge Petition".

We, as Americans, stand with members of the United States Congress in asking the Supreme Court of the United States to affirm the constitutionality of the Pledge of Allegiance with the phrase "under God' included.

We support the Pledge of Allegiance, including the phrase, "One nation under God." We believe that the action taken by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, in declaring our Pledge UNCONSTITUTIONAL, is a direct violation of our Constitutional freedom.

4. Yuck, I've gotten two of those in the last week

I consider it another form of pornography (except that the porn ads I get at least make me laugh!)

5. Yikes

I better put the word "Christian" into my spam language. I can't stand getting this kind of pompous tripe. I had a fundie on one of my boards (a science fiction one, mind you!) who always posted the fundie Xtian bottom line stuff, and I ended up banning her when she ignored my warnings. Why is it that some of these people can not and will not understand the words "no thanks" when it comes to their stuff?

6. Poor you!

Can you "reply all" and give their mailing list a piece of your mind?

Interesting site though. On one page they claim that the "under G-d" was not added because of concern about the rise of atheistic communism but as an affirmation of the alleged religious foundations of this country. Then, on another page they have a whole lineup of testimonials stating that it was added because of atheistic communism. So which is it, guys?

Meanwhile, devilgrrl, you have my sympathy. Stay strong of heart ... and stomach.
