		<description>I would think the First Amendment would throw this right out of court in the first 5 minutes or less.
What has happened to our freedom?  In my opinion, the ACLU is one of our biggest threats to our country.  I almost never see anything they are for that I am not against and vice-versa!  
I even thought twice before writing this, a niggling thought in the back of my head - what if they come after me?  Just for voicing my opinion.  In America, one should not have to have this kind of fear.
My prayers are with Mr. Lee and Mr. Freeman.</description>

		<description>One teacher and the school principal from our local high school are being sued by the ACLU for praying before eating at a school meeting of nine people. Something they have always done for years. Now they are faced with 6 months in jail, $6000 fines, loss of jobs, and loss of pensions. They also have to pay for their own defense. The court case is going to cost our county (Santa Rosa County, Florida) $500,000. These two individuals have a total of 57 years experience between them. Donations can be made at this web site: layfreemandefense.com. Look up ACLU versus Pace High School in your browsers for more information. May God bless America.</description>

		<description>From the aclu website:

&quot;The ACLU is our nation&#039;s guardian of liberty, working daily in courts, legislatures and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties that the Constitution and laws of the United States guarantee everyone in this country.

These rights include:

    * Your First Amendment rights - freedom of speech, association and assembly; freedom of the press, and freedom of religion. &quot;

Makes one wonder what freedom of religion means.</description>

		<description>Remember from the years of reading in Revelations.  I remember many years back when the preacher spoke of the things that would come to pass.  i never thought back then that someone would actually face criminal charges for praying in public, like some communist run country, but i was wrong.   stand by your beliefs in the end God will preveil and those who persecute you will stand to his judgement.</description>
