| TEN
COMMANDMENTS ARGUED IN COURT
Thursday, October 16, 2003
A lawsuit was filed last year against the county in which I live,
Habersham County, Georgia by a pastor and the ACLU to have copies
of the Ten Commandments removed from public buildings. After battling
the ACLU for over a year and holding a rally at the courthouse in
Clarkesville, Georgia for more than 750 people in attendance.
Our case will be heard before Judge William O’Kelley in U.S.
District Court in Gainesville, Georgia on Monday, October 20th.
Our lawyer, Doug McDonald of Cornelia, Georgia will argue the case
on Monday with attorney help from Liberty Council based in Florida.
He is donating his skills pro-bono to prepare for and argue this
case. Please pray for God to grant him great wisdom and discernment.
Remember, the battle is not about religion, a term defined by our
Founders as “the duty we owe to our Creator and the manner
for discharging it.” This battle is over whether or not it
is constitutional for Americans to be able to acknowledge God.
Federal Judge Myron Thompson, who ordered the Ten Commandment removal
in Alabama asked the question: “Can the state acknowledge
God?” Those were the exact words used by Judge Thompson in
his closing remarks in open court.
On Monday, our attorneys will argue for the rule of law and against
any proclamation to ban the acknowledgement of God in the public
arena.
Georgia Constitution not only allows the Ten Commandments to be
displayed but also encourages the “diffusion of knowledge”:
Georgia General Assembly Unannotated Code 45-13-41. Georgia’s
Governor, Sonny Perdue, is well aware
of this law and he has taken his place in history to defend the
hanging of the
Ten Commandments.
The decision we make concerning the Ten Commandments will determine
who will govern this nation in the future.
Please begin now to pray and fast for
a victory for the Ten Commandments
on Monday, October 20th.
