2008 California Election Forum

Across America, the ACLU is using a little-known law that allows them to be awarded enormous attorney's fees from states, cities and school districts.

Here are a few examples:

• $950,000 from the city of San Diego to settle removing the Boy Scout meetings from the city's Balboa Park
• $500,000 in the "Ten Commandments Case" in Atlanta
• $90,000 from the Chicago Unified School District to settle a lawsuit from the Boy Scouts to ban them from using schools for gatherings
• $63,000 from the lawsuit to destroy the Mojave Desert World War I Veterans Memorial
• $1,000,000 (yes, 1 million) in the Intelligent Design case against the Dove, Pennsylvania, school board.

Here is what the ACLU does:

• Threatens a lawsuit if the government doesn't comply. The government understands if it loses (like with a cross or Boy Scouts), it will pay an obscene legal fine. Most government bodies cave in.
• If the government doesn't comply and they settle later, they will pay a huge fine.
• If they fight the ACLU's demands and lose, they suffer a huge fine.

Just the threat of a suit is helping the ACLU win. And if they win in court, they grow rich.

How can this outrage stop? Only if enough Christians go to the public to help stop their war on Christianity.

We need:

1. City, county and state officials who will resist the ACLU. That means Christians must be willing to run for office—and vote in local elections.
2. U.S. Congressmembers and Senators who will change this law. Senator Sam Brownback has a bill in Congress that would stop this.

It's called The Public Expressions of Religion Act. Click here to read Senator Brownback's offcial press release on the bill.
