A while back, I helped try to skew an online poll on the American
Family Association's website. This helpful act landed me a place on the
AFA's mailing list. So today I got the following missive:
Hey, I'm just doing what the scary people told me to do! Consider yourself informed. What's so scary about posting the Ten Commandments in schools and other public buildings? Hmm, I don't know! Let me think. (scratches head) Oh yeah. "Separation of church and state."
HELP MAKE THE DISPLAY OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS LEGAL IN ALL PUBLIC PLACES
Dear Katherine,
As you know, the Supreme Court is currently studying the Ten Commandments issue. The Supreme Court is not immune to the will of the people. While we cannot directly influence the outcome of the decision by the Supreme Court, we can express our desires as citizens of the United States.
I urge you to join with other Americans in expressing a desire that the Ten Commandments can be legally displayed in all public places. It is important that we have a moral basis for our laws. The Ten Commandments are in essence the foundation for our laws. Should the foundation be destroyed, the building will fall.
Please join me in supporting the display of the Ten Commandments in all public places, including schools and courtrooms.
>From time to time the number of Americans who have expressed a desire to see the Ten Commandments legally displayed in public places will be released and forwarded to the Supreme Court. It will take millions of Americans participating for us to be successful.
Thank you for participating in this effort. If we are to be successful, we need you to forward this letter to others today.
