100,000 back bill to curb ACLU
Topics: Political News and commentariesStop The ACLU writes that he has 18,000 signatures on their petition to stop taxpayer funding of the ACLU in support of Hostettler's Freedom of Expression Bill. It looks like a larger organization has beaten them to the punch and their making one last push. They need our help and plan to deliver their petition at the same time as Center For Reclaiming America does, hoping to greatly increase the impact, and get this much needed legislation rolling. They are asking for us to join in getting as many names on their petition, as possible.
A grass-roots group is mobilizing more than 100,000 Americans to urge Congress to pass a bill that would curb the ACLU by denying plaintiff attorneys the right to collect attorneys fees in lawsuits targeting religion in the public square.Stop The ACLU hopes to round up their 30,000 signatures. They've got 18,000 on their petition already.The petition by the Center for Reclaiming America calls for "a stand against the ACLU's radical agenda, which undermines our nation's moral and religious heritage."
The group says it already has 100,000 signatures and hopes to garner another 30,000.
The petition reads:
As a concerned citizen, I am taking a stand against the ACLU's radical agenda, which undermines our nation's moral and religious heritage. I join with citizens across the nation in protest of ACLU policies and actions to strip faith in God from the public square while promoting anti-family and pro-homosexual initiatives. I am calling on leaders in government and media to tell the truth about the ACLU's radical agenda. Furthermore, I demand lawmakers take the necessary steps to eliminate the monetary motives behind the ACLU's campaign to remove all mention of God from the public square. The ACLU does not represent me nor the vast majority of American citizens.
The legislation by Rep. John Hostettler, R-Ind., would amend the Civil Rights Attorney's Fees Act of 1976 to prohibit prevailing parties from being awarded attorneys fee in religious establishment cases but not in other civil rights filings.
Hostettler introduced a bill with identical language in 2003 to permit only injunctive relief in cases filed under the religious-establishment clause of the Constitution and to deny attorneys fees.
Although that bill failed in subcommittee, supporters are optimistic that the current offering will pass this session because of the more conservative makeup of the current Congress and escalating calls to curb an activist judiciary, particularly on religious matters.
If you haven't signed, sign both today!
