I heard of this on the radio - then contacted the ACLJ via the internet to sign this petition on line. I thought I would share it with all of you for your information:
Thanks -

"SAVE THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE": The Pledge of Allegiance - including the phrase "one nation under God" - - - is part of our cultural landscape and rich religious history. But sadly, it has become part of a never-ending legal challenge. Once again, a lawsuit has been filed against Congress that the Pledge is unconsitutional -- - - that the phrase "under God" fosters divisiveness and is a violation of the separation of church and state. As it has in the past, the ACLJ is standing in firm support of the Pledge - - - preparing to file amicus briefs in Freedom From Religion Foundation v. Congress on behalf of members of Congress - - and on behalf of those who join our Committee to Protect "Under God". We must stand in support of the Pledge and protect the phrase "one nation under God."

COMMITTEE TO PROTECT "UNDER GOD"

"Michael Newdow is once again challenging the constitutionality of the Pledge of Allegiance, including the words "one nation under God," representing the Freedom From Religion Foundation in Freedom From Religion Foundation v. Congress."

"But more than that, the Freedom From Religion Foundation and other groups are striking at the very heart of America's foundational beliefs and time-honored traditions. They will not stop until every public mention of God is stripped from our country."

"The Pledge of Allegiance is a core piece of America's heritage. It acknowledges that our freedoms as a nation come from God ... and it must be preserved."

You can "Add your name to the group of people who have alread signed the petition to protect "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance via the internet: American Center For Law and Justice (aclj.org)"

This note was sent to you by someone who has just signed the petition. Thank you.
