TODAY, ACLU VS HABERSHAM COUNTY IS ARGUED IN COURT
Friday, October 17, 2003

Today is Friday, October 17, 2003. On Monday October 20th, Habersham County, Georgia’s ACLU vs. Habersham will be argued in court.

When I stop to comprehend that what I have seen coming is actually happening in America I still cannot believe it. We are a nation with all the historical proof anyone could ever want to prove, our Christian heritage and Christian foundation.

Notwithstanding I am encouraged by the responses we received from the Governor of Georgia and from Georgia’s Congressional leadership.

Following are a few excerpts from several of their letters.

Governor Sonny Perdue: “As you here today, and millions upon millions of citizens across America know, ours is a nation founded on freedom of religion, not freedom from religion…A small minority would wish to use this issue to divide us and pursue an agenda of separation and intolerance. We must not let them succeed.”

Congressman Mac Collins: “Throughout our nation’s history, our leaders have recognized God, his laws, and His blessing on our nation. In the founding of America, our nation’s early leaders never sought to keep the church out of
the state; rather, they crafted a Constitution to keep the state out of the church and, thus, protect the rights of all Americans to worship according to their own convictions. Now thee are those within our nation, within constitutional offices, that would seek to dismiss this nation’s history and the Christian principles upon which it was founded. Specifically, they have sought to undermine the right of states to post the Ten Commandments…most notably the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals issued a court order…to remove a Ten Commandments monument…from the Alabama Supreme Court building. The Court not only wrongly interpreted the established clause of the Constitution; it also ignored the role of Christian principles in the founding of our nation. It is these very principles, embodied in the Ten Commandments that are the bases for a legal system that seeks to protect life, liberty, and property for all Americans.

Senator Zell Miller:” the way I see it, this is about more than a display of the Ten Commandments in a courthouse or a nativity scene in front of the City Hall at Christmas. It is about the right of the American people to acknowledge one Creator in a public place.

Your prayers and fasting are needed for Monday morning when the lawsuit filed
by the ACLU, Bo Turner, and Greg Holder is argued in court in Gainesville, Georgia.

Also, rest assured, should we lose, this is just the first step. We will not sit down,
give up, or shut up until we have the victory.
