New Nevada law on false complaints unconstitutional
Nov 6, 2005, 09:42 PM

According to the American Civil Liberties Union, a Federal Appeals Court ruling nullifies a new Nevada law that made it unlawful for citizens to file a false complaint against Public Officials.

The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said last week that a similar California law was an unconstitutional "Infringement of Speech" because false statements in support of officers were not criminalized.

Nevada ACLU officials say the decision will apply to a Nevada law passed in June that made it a misdemeanor to file a false report against any Public Official since Nevada falls under the court's jurisdiction.

Legislative Counsel Bureau officials say they have not reviewed the decision in detail.

But they say the new state law now might be overturned if it's challenged and the 2007 Legislature could consider Legislation to repeal it.


(My note:  The ACLU doesn't like this law because it would also stop many of their lawsuits.)

[Berean_Standards]

     I don't know if it's been mentioned in this thread, or if anyone's heard about this, but I was listening to Christian radio the other day and there was a talk show guest discussing the ACLU, and to point out I guess the lowest depths of their depravity, he mentioned their work defending a group called the "Manboy Association" or something like that.

     I've heard about the guys before, but have yet to actually read about them, I don't know if I even want to on the net. But this group is completely incredible in it's motives, and the ACLU jumped to aid these guys. I don't think I even want to mention their goals and aims, it is so twisted.

     This is probably the creepiest thing I've ever heard of so far, but along with the whole gay agenda, it makes me feel we are witnessing the decline on American civilization, just like the excesses and perversion of Rome back in the day. It's truly disturbing.

The "Manboy Association" that you are speaking of is called NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association). It is indeed an association full of perversion.

Congressmen back Scouts in ACLU suit
90 lawmakers file brief arguing for Defense sponsorship
Posted: November 9, 2005

© 2005 WorldNetDaily.com

Ninety members of Congress filed a brief yesterday with a federal appeals court declaring support for the U.S. Defense Department in its sponsorship of the Boy Scouts of America's national jamboree.

The department's backing of the quadrennial event, attended this year by more than 40,000 Scouts, was opposed in a 1999 lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union.

The ACLU contends federal government sponsorship violates the First Amendment, because the Boy Scouts require members to swear an oath to "do my duty to God and my country."

The next jamboree is scheduled for 2010 to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America.

Represented by the American Center for Law and Justice, the lawmakers' friend-of-the-court brief to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit seeks a reversal of a lower court decision that declared the Defense Department's sponsorship unconstitutional.

The 1972 statute passed by Congress, the lower court declared, violates the so-called "separation of church and state."

Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the ACLJ, says the lower court simply "got it wrong."

"The military provides the Boy Scouts with support and services that aid both the military and the Scouts without endorsing religion," he said.

The ACLJ contends the purpose of the bill passed by Congress was to advance the military's goals, not advance the Boy Scouts' religious beliefs.

The brief asserts the Defense Department's support comes in the form of "non-religious supplies and services."

"The military's rental of forklifts and trucks, transportation and military equipment, restoration of Fort A.P. Hill after the Jamboree, and provision of other secular services is clearly 'neutral and nonideological,'" the brief said. "The only possible message that the military's aid can be viewed as conveying is that patriotism, self-reliance, physical fitness and support of the military are positive things."

In March, a bipartisan group of lawmakers, led by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., introduced legislation to make sure the Boy Scouts of America can use government facilities for gatherings, meetings and events.

The ''Support Our Scouts Act of 2005" would protect the organization from attacks by the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups challenging federal support for the BSA because the organization administers a religious oath and prohibits homosexuals as scout masters.

The Pentagon last year settled a lawsuit by telling military bases around the world not to become direct sponsors of Boy Scout troops or Cub Scout dens. Military personnel can now sponsor Boy Scout groups only in their civilian capacity.

As WorldNetDaily reported, the threat of lawsuits by the ACLU has forced the BSA to pull the charters of thousands of scouting units from public schools.

'BIBLE LITERACY PROJECT' MAKES A MOCKERY OF BIBLIAL LITERACY
  by MONTANA NEWS ASSOCIATION

/MNA PRESS/ NOV 9, 2005-- The Bible faces a rising onslaught of ridicule, and legal assaults. Its most vocal antagonists include People for the American Way and the ACLU. Why would such opponents applaud a textbook titled, The Bible and Its Influence? Why such support for a revolutionary curriculum published by the Bible Literacy Project?

The answer may lie in the word revolutionary. This new curriculum fits into a set of social and political changes that would try to affect every
American. Joseph Farah, founder of WorldNetDaily, summarized it well in his exposure, of a "political movement" called Communitarianism, "which places the importance of society ahead of the unfettered rights of the individual."

"I still believe in old fashioned freedom" Farah concluded, "In the inalienable rights of the individual and the limited powers of the state, these are concepts at odds with Communitarianism."

General Ben Partin shares that concern. In a recent conversation (11-2-05), he recalled that, "The 1928 Program of Third International calls for disarming the citizenry as a final step in the 'preparatory phase' of a Communist 'War of National Liberation.'" Not surprisingly, the 1991 Communitarian Platform calls for domestic disarmament. What is the difference between "disarming the citizenry" and "domestic disarmament?"

Amitai Etzioni, founder of the Communitarian Network, is a member of Mikhail Gorbachev's World Political Forum. The Forum website introduces Etzioni as "Director of the Institute for Communitarian Policy Studies." Etzioni's agenda fits Gorbachev's modernized Communism well. Dialogue (Marx's dialectic process) is essential to both.

The Bible Literacy Project's textbook illustrates the process. Inviting speculation and new interpretations, it instills new meanings in student's minds:

1. Prompts students to question God's character: "Do you think Adam and Eve received a fair deal as described in Genesis?"

2. Undermines Christianity: "Jesus was also seen as an example of self sacrifice that can be imitated." ... "...find examples of such Christ figures in literature, film or even music."

3. Ridicules Biblical warnings: "You've probably seen cartoon or movie depictions of the prophet of doom, a shaggy bearded individual in ragged robes, ranting from a soapbox..." "Try your hand at doing some apocalyptic writing."

Many people closely involved with the Bible Literacy Project are members of the Communitarian Network and share it's mission. They serve on the Bible Literacy Project Board of Directors and Advisory Board. Some of these are:

Charles Haynes, a contributor to the BLP textbook, speaks both for the Bible Literacy Project and for the Freedom Forum, formerly the Gannett Foundation (the liberal Gannett media). Not only involved with the Communitarian Network, he also serves on the Advisory Board of The Pluralism Project', which includes Margot Adler, a Wiccan priestess. As senior scholar at the Freedom Forum's First Amendment Center, Haynes works closely with its lawyer Oliver Thomas, who co-authored "The Right to Religious Liberty," the "basic ACLU Guide."

Os Guinness has worked with Charles Haynes for over 15 years. Quoted by Amitai Etzioni, he is signatory to two Communitarian papers. David Blankenhorn (Board of Directors of BLP), Mary Ann Glendon and Jean Bethke Elstain (Advisory Board of BLP) are also signatories to the Communitarian Platform.

Communitarian ideals sound noble to those who don't remember the terrors of last century's experiments with collectivism. The Bible Literacy Project will spread those ideals and make a mockery of true Biblical literacy.

ACLU: Extend tax break to all religious books

By BILL RANKIN
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 11/15/05

A retired Atlanta librarian and a Sandy Springs bookshop owner are challenging a state law that grants a sales tax exemption for purchases of the Bible and other books pertaining to "Holy Scripture."

Their lawsuit, filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Atlanta, said if such works are exempt from sales and use taxes, other philosophical, religious and spiritual works should be as well.

"The law is written in such a way that minority religions don't get the same tax exemption as better-known religions such as Christianity and Judaism," said Maggie Garrett, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia, which represents the two plaintiffs.

State law exempts from sales tax all "Holy Bibles, testaments and similar books commonly recognized as being Holy Scripture." The decades-old law also exempts "any religious paper ... when the paper is owned and operated by religious institutions and denominations," but it does not define religious paper.

State Revenue Commissioner Bart Graham, the defendant in the lawsuit because his agency oversees collection of sales taxes, said he was unaware of the dispute until notified of the lawsuit Monday afternoon.

"Most organizations or advocates will approach us to isolate a specific issue they have," Graham said. "Often we can take a number of issues off the table, either by rule or regulation. ... We don't like to start in court, but if someone wants to go down that road, we're more than happy to accommodate them and work through the issue."

Graham said his office, responding to a previous inquiry, had suspended the sales tax for purchases of the Quran, the holy book of Islam. But the office has not had inquiries about other religious or spiritual texts, he said.

Heather Hedrick, a spokeswoman for Gov. Sonny Perdue, said, "It appears that the question lies in the definition of Holy Scripture."

Filing suit were Thomas Budlong, a retired librarian and former president of the Georgia Library Association, and Candace Apple, who owns the Phoenix & Dragon Bookstore, which specializes in metaphysical books.

Apple said if the state is not going to tax the Bible, "it should be consistent and not tax scriptures from other religions and traditions or from a philosophical bent of those who do not follow a particular religion but who are searching for life answers."

If two customers are standing at the counter, one buying a Bible and another purchasing a sacred Hindu text, "I shouldn't have to say to the person buying the Bible, 'You don't have to pay tax because you have the right religion,' " Apple said Monday.

The lawsuit notes that Apple could be prosecuted for a misdemeanor for not collecting sales tax on her store's metaphysical and spiritual books.

Budlong objected to having to pay sales tax on his recent purchases of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values" and "The Bhagavad Gita," a sacred Hindu text, the lawsuit said.

The tax exemption is unconstitutional because it has "the primary effect of endorsing religion in general and Judaism and Christianity in particular," the lawsuit said.

Garrett, the ACLU staff attorney, emphasized that the lawsuit does not seek to strike down the sales tax exemption for Bibles and other Holy Scripture works.

"We're just saying the exemption should be broader so that it applies to religious text and nonreligious text."

The ACLU lawyer said the easiest solution is for the Legislature to amend the statute so that it encompasses a broader spectrum of religious and spiritual materials.

"I wouldn't expect it," said Michelle Hitt, a spokeswoman for House Speaker Glenn Richardson (R-Hiram). "It's not an issue that's been discussed, at all."

The law dates back to 1950s when Gov. Ernest Vandiver issued an executive order suspending the sales tax. Gov. Lester Maddox issued a similar order in 1970, and the Legislature approved it the following year.

Pink plates for DUI's in Florida?

Clearwater, Florida - A state senator wants bright pink license plates on vehicles driven by convicted drunk drivers with limited driving privileges.

Republican senator Mike Fasano of New Port Richey filed a bill earlier this month that requires the first three characters on the
plate to read "D-U-I."

Fasano says this might embarrass people and make them think twice about drinking and driving.

The bill also says police may stop any vehicle with a D-U-I plate without probable cause to check the driver.

Ohio and Michigan have similar laws in place. Other states have debated the issue, but failed to pass it due to privacy reasons.

A spokesman for the American Civil Liberties Union in Florida says the group is against the pink plates because they punish and ridicule.

A spokesman for the American Civil Liberties Union in Florida says the group is against the pink plates because they punish and ridicule.

Hello Pastor Roger,

I think this is a great idea, but I think that all members of the ACLU also need pink tags on their cars. And the same rules should apply - probable cause for a stop not required for law enforcement.  

I was just thinking out loud that we might need to extend this law for all ACLU members to wear all pink clothes and pink shoes outside of their homes.  

[Soldier4Christ]

Amen Brother,

The ACLU doesn't want people to be punished for their crimes so in essence they are aiding and abetting in my opinion. This in addition to the crimes against God and the nation they should also be punished. I think the pink clothes and shoes would be fitting.

They also need to be covered in "RED", (the blood of Jesus Christ) then they could be rehabilitated and perhaps actually do some work that is worthwhile.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 /Christian Wire Service/ -- The Reverends Rob Schenck (pronounced SHANK) and Patrick J. Mahoney will visit ACLU headquarters today to hand-deliver more than 20,000 petitions demanding that the left-leaning liberal attack group back off of terrorizing communities and individuals who seek to affirm America's Judeo-Christian values.

Schenck, who heads up Faith and Action in the Nation's Capital, and Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition, asked their respective members to sign the statements after the ACLU sued a small rural school district in Adams County, Ohio, over four displays of the Ten Commandments in front of public schools there. The ACLU won an order for the Commandments to be removed, then demanded that the school reimburse them for legal expenses. After Christian ministers in the community stepped forward with a pledge to replace the money taken from the school budget, the ACLU settled for $80,000.

"The ACLU is this generation's Ku Klux Klan," said Rev. Rob Schenck. "They gallop into small towns with legal hoods over their heads and terrorize good people by threatening to harm children by draining the coffers of local schools if they so much as dare to recognize our nation's true heritage. These ACLU bullies are nothing more than psychological terrorists."

The Reverends Schenck and Mahoney plan to arrive at the offices of the ACLU around 3:00 P.M.

ACLU’s War Against National Security

    In conjunction with the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the ACLU has lobbied hard against Arab-profiling at airports for years. “Profiles are notoriously under-inclusive,” says ACLU legislative counsel Gregory Nojeim. “Who knows who the next terrorist will appear as? It could be a grandmother. It could be a student. We just don’t know.”Source

    The airline industry’s fear of such lawsuits is based on solid historical precedent. In 1993, for instance, the ACLU joined forces with the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) to sue Pan American World Airways for having detained a man of Iranian descent during the first Persian Gulf War.

So, the ACLU says political correctness trumps common sense. They block that route of securing ourselves from being blown up. What to do? Hmmm.. I’ve got it! Lets do random searches!

    ACLU Files Suit Over Random Subway Searches.The New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU), the New York chapter of the ACLU, has announced that they intend on filing a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan today. The suit claims that the random bag searches before boarding the subway system is unconstitutional.

City lawyers have noted that an al-Qaida training manual advising terrorists to avoid police checkpoints gives the city some justification for its random searches of bags entering the subway system.

Ok, so the ACLU says no profiled searches, and no random searches. What about searches across the board? Nope. Raymond James Stadium tried it, and the ACLU sued. So, where does that leave us with searches? I think we can conclude that the ACLU are against all searches. Is this because they stand by the principle of the fourth amendment? The irony and hypocrisy here is that, the NYCLU HQ has a sign warning visitors that all bags are subject to search. Apparantly their war against searches is not based on principle.

But searches are not the only that brings criticism on the ACLU on the topic of National Security.

The ACLU and CAIR have actually taken up quite a number of cases together. In 2003, the Ohio chapter of the ACLU awarded its yearly “Liberty Flame Award” to the Ohio chapter of CAIR “for contributions to
the advancement and protection of civil liberties.” This same Ohio chapter, in August of this year, refused contributions from the United Way, as to not complete a required counterterrorism compliance form.

But it isn’t isolated to one rouge chapter.

    In October of 2004, the ACLU turned down $1.15 million in funding from two of it’s most generous and loyal contributors, the Ford and Rockefeller foundations, saying new anti-terrorism restrictions demanded by the institutions make it unable to accept their funds.

    “The Ford Foundation now bars recipients of its funds from engaging in any activity that “promotes violence, terrorism, bigotry, or the destruction of any state.”

    The Rockefeller Foundation’s provisions state that recipients of its funds may not “directly or indirectly engage in, promote, or support other organizations or individuals who engage in or promote terrorist activity.

What is this all about?

    Although its website proclaims that it does not receive “any government funding,” it does get money from a program that allows federal employees to make charitable contributions through payroll deductions. Last year it got $470,000 from the program. (The ACLU’s 2002 annual budget, the most recent available, was $102 million.)

    Now it had a choice: give up the money, or sign a promise certifying that the ACLU “does not knowingly employ individuals or contribute funds to organizations found on” government watch lists of suspected supporters of terrorism.

    Trouble was, the ACLU had strongly opposed the lists, saying they were often inaccurate and violated the constitutional rights of some people.

    But it really hated the idea of giving up the money.Source

So what did they do? Well, at first they decided they would try to trick the government. They decided to keep the money, AND keep hiring anyone they pleased, by what Nadine Strossen called a “clever interpretation.” Their solution was that if they remained ignorant of who was on the list, then they couldn’t “knowingly” hire anyone on the list. Anthony D. Romero, the ACLU’s executive director, tells the New York Times: “I’ve printed [the lists] out. I’ve never consulted them.”

To make a long story short, when The New York Times outted them, they caved in. But they didn’t cave in to the government, they just decided to forgoe the money, so they could still ignorantly hire people on the government watchlist. Isn’t that nice?

However, this isn’t the end. The American Civil Liberties Union and 12 other national non-profit organizations successfully challenged Office of Personnel Management’s Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) requirements that all participating charities check their employees and expenditures against several government watch lists for “terrorist activities” and that organizations certify that they do not contribute funds to organizations on those lists. This is something the ACLU finds worthy of celebrating. In my opinion this is reason to be suspicious of what the ACLU does with its funds.

It isn’t a far fetched idea to wonder if the ACLU uses its funds to support terrorism. The ACLU’s history is tainted in this arena.

    In 1985 Samuel L. Morrison, an employee of the Naval Intelligence Support Command was convicted and sentenced for stealing classified spy satellite photographs from his office, cutting off the “secret” designation and selling them to a foreign publication. The ACLU claimed that Morrison had the right to steal and sell these classified documents and the under the First Amendment.

    Positions like these might be easier to understand if we look at ACLU Policy #117. They title this policy “Controlling the Intelligence Agencies”. ”

    Limit the CIA, under the new name of the Foreign Intelligence Agency, to collecting and evaluating foreign intelligence information. Abolish all covert operations. Limit the FBI to criminal investigations by eliminating all COINTEL-PRO-type activity and all foreign and domestic intelligence investigations of groups or individuals unrelated to a specific criminal offense.

    Prohibit entirely wiretaps, tapping of telecommunications and burglaries. Restrict mail openings, mail covers, inspection of bank records, and inspection of telephone records….”

The ACLU Defends the P.L.O.

    “I’m afraid even the good guys on civil liberties are going to be against us on this one.” Those are the words of ACLU Executive director Ira Glasser on the ACLU’s decision to represent an agent of Yassir Araftat’s Palestine Liberation Organization.
    I wonder if his definition of “good guys” meant American citizens who care about their country and are not willing to grant sworn terrorists complete freedom within our borders. If so, he is absolutely correct. We are against that one.
    “Arafat’s group of ruthless murderers had set up an “information office” in Washington D.C, only a few blocks from the White House.

The ACLU Defends “Mad Dog” of Libya, Muammar Qaddafi.

    “In 1985, the ACLU learned of an alleged plan by the CIA to engineer Qaddafi’s overthrow. Outraged, they put together a “strenuous” public protest against this proposed action.

    In a letter fillled with self-righteous indignation, Morton Halperin, Director of the ACLU Washington office, expressed his opinion of that plan to Sen. David Durenberger, Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, with copies to everyone imaginable.

    And to make sure no one was left out, the ACLU also issued a press release trumpeting it’s opposition to any attempt to oust Qaddafi.”

    The ACLU has also shown itself a willing tool of the terrorists, waging a massive anti-anti-terrorism legal campaign. This pillar of the legal Left denounced the government’s requirement that men aged 16-25 holding “temporary visas” from nations with known ties to terrorism register with the INS; represented Sami al-Arian, the North American fundraiser and co-founder of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (filing a brief upholding his inalienable right to fresh briefs!); rallied on behalf of convicted al-Qaeda benefactor Maher Mofeid Hawash; urged local communities not to cooperate with federal anti-terror investigations; and opposed the FBI’s monitoring Islamist mosques. As David Horowitz notes in his book Unholy Alliance, radical Center for Constitutional Rights lawyer Ron Kuby notes the “passionate…identification” most lawyers feel with their clients, such as that of convicted terror enabler Lynne Stewart for World Trade Center bomber Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman. Given her aid for international Islamic terrorism, the government is right to keep a watchful eye on those who perpetually side with the enemy. Front Page Magazine

They have fought hard for the release of Abu Ghraib images depicting sickening torture of our enemies, further inflaming the propaganda war on the side of the enemy. The ACLU also submitted a 37-page report to the United Nations Human Rights Committee describing specific U.S. breaches of the political and civil rights covenant.

The report included sections on “Excessive Government Secrecy”; “Racial Profiling of the U.S. Arab, South Asian, and Muslim Communities”; “Criminalization of Political Protest”; “Increased Surveillance Powers”; and “Random Searches.”

Recently the ACLU have decided to represent two detainees who claim the U.S. Military threw them into lions dens. Somebody is lion alright. They have also accused the U.S. military of outright murdering 21 detainees. They have even advised the majority of the prisoners at Gitmo that they did not have to answer questions from military interrogators.

Actions like these have enraged groups like The American Legion, and Christians for Reviving American Values, who are asking Congress to investigate the ACLU. The American Legion is already mobilizing its members to fight the ACLU over issues such as the Boyscouts. The sympathy for the enemy also has them fired up. To many of these groups, and to many Americans, the perception is that The ACLU cares more about terrorists than it does about America.

As you can see, balancing national security interests with a respect for civil liberties is not the goal of the ACLU. Its goal is the absolute pursuit of civil liberties, without regard for its consequences. Gone are the the carefully worded policies that guided Union thinking during World War II. Gone, too is any kind of talk about the enemies of the United States. It is hard to imagine a person vile enought, or a crisis serious enough, to shake the ACLU from its absolutist position during wartime. The tragedy is it is not just the nation’s security that stands to lose as a result, it is the cause of liberty itself.

WOW! - In effect, the ACLU has been and is a terrorist group. How about that?

Ten Commandments display defended

MUSKOGEE (AP) -- Haskell County commissioners, responding to a lawsuit from the American Civil Liberties Union, have defended a Ten Commandments monument outside the local courthouse .

In their response Thursday, commissioners said the display is not a sign of government endorsing a particular religion. They said it is of "outstanding governmental significance" and secular in nature, a part of people's everyday lives.

The lawsuit filed last month on behalf of Jim Green of Stigler, a retired veteran who regularly does business at the courthouse, is the first in Oklahoma since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June that displays of the Ten Commandments on government property are not inherently unconstitutional.

"I think it's all nonsense, but we can't back up now, and we don't want to," said Haskell County Commission Chairman Sam Cole, who is being sued individually as well for being part of the panel.

"I think (a Ten Commandments display) ought to be on every courthouse lawn. That's what pretty much everyone here wants except one man. We're for it, and we'll fight. I was raised to fight for what I believe in, and I believe in this."

American Civil Liberties Union lawyer Tina Izadi said the group stands behind the lawsuit.

"We're going to allow this to play out in the judicial system," she said.

The group's complaint is that the monument promotes the Christian faith to the exclusion of all other religions.

The suit claims that the "monument's celebration of the Ten Commandments as a religious text suggests that adherence to a particular religious creed is a prerequisite or an advantage to those seeking justice in Haskell County."

The commissioners answered that contention by saying: "It is not the primary purpose of the monument to endorse any religion. ... No reasonable observer would perceive that the government is endorsing religion through the monument."

The commissioners voted in November to erect the 8-by-3-foot granite slab, which features the text of the Mayflower Compact on one side and the Ten Commandments on the other. A Stigler pastor persuaded 17 area churches to raise the $2,500 needed for construction of the display on the courthouse lawn, about 90 miles southeast of Tulsa.

20,000 Protest Letters Delivered to ACLU Headquarters
by Josh Montez

It's a strong message that many Americans are tired of ACLU
Action against Christians and their faith.

Reverend Rob Schenck with Faith in Action went to the ACLU headquarters in New York City and hand delivered the letters from the American people. Schenck says the let the ACLU know that people are fed up with the liberal organization's legal aggression.

"They go in, they harass communities, they use up tax payer dollars by filing lawsuits over everything from nativity scenes to displays of the Ten Commandments to crosses, or any other vestige of our Judeo-Christian heritage.”

Schenck says the incident that pushed him over the edge was the ACLU court battle to remove the Ten Commandment displays from a small Ohio school district. After they won, the ACLU sued the school district for legal fees.

“The ACLU doesn’t need any reimbursement. The ACLU took in a hundred and fifty million dollars in contributions last year, and they have now demanded $80,000 from the school district there. We said that’s enough.”

Alan Sears with the Alliance Defense Fund says it’s high time the ACLU heard from Main Street America.

“It’s ridiculous what the ACLU has done to the people of this country and what they’ve done to especially small towns and small school districts officials with their campaign of fear, intimidation and disinformation."

Schenck says he plans to keep delivering letters to the ACLU on behalf of the American people.

The ACLU did not return our call for comment.
