Faith & Freedom


OBAMA SOLICITOR GENERAL FILES AMICUS
FOR "LEGISLATIVE PRAYERS" IN
SUPREME COURT CASE
ATHEISTS AGAINST "LEGISLATIVE PRAYER"
TRADITIONS, PRECEDENTS CHALLENGED
Tell Congress PROTECT Our First Amendment Rights
For America's Citizenry and Military
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…"
Will the Supreme Court seek to edit prayers offered at official public meetings? Will it find such meetings a forum for private citizens to offer constitutionally protected prayers, or claim judges must make theological decisions regarding the acceptability of different prayers? And if edited, would that not conflict with the free exercise and establishment clauses of the First Amendment – which make clear it is not the business of government to regulate the content of prayer OR regulate theological orthodoxy.

Thanks to the rabid Americans United for Separation of Church and State, long-time allies with the hard Left in their relentless quest to extirpate religion from our nation's life – public praying in the name of Jesus is a right being debated, again, before the Supreme Court.

Not that they actually have ANYTHING under the Constitution to say about this unalienable, natural FULLY PROTECTED right…
But surprisingly, given Obama's campaign to drive Christianity out of our military and our school programs, his Solicitor General filed a brief supporting the Town of Greece against the atheists…

While the ruling will be some time in coming, we MUST continue to challenge the anti-Christian bigots who seek to suppress our free expression of faith in the public square and in our common life – especially with the holiday season swiftly approaching.
Please pray with me that this case may be rightfully decided, and that Congress will be vigilant in defense of our rights of faith and conscience. We have particular concern for the respect of these rights for our military…
Because under the Obama administration, Christianity is under attack!
Conservatives in Congress have recently successfully defeated funding for ATHEIST CHAPLAINS – an oxymoron as a chaplain is a minister of faith – in our nation's military, but we have yet to get Barack Hussein Obama to halt his attack on religious liberty and get Congress to commit to defending and upholding our Christian soldiers' First Amendment rights of free exercise of faith.
At this very moment, Christian chaplain Lt. Col. Kenneth Reyes, currently serving in the U.S. Air Force and stationed at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska, is being officially censored for fulfilling his commission, and for engaging in his constitutionally guaranteed right to freely exercise his religious faith.
His offense: Writing and posting an essay entitled, "No Atheists in Foxholes: Chaplains Gave All in World War II."
Reyes didn't post his essay randomly around base. Or distribute it en masse to the enlisted men stationed when he is assigned to serve their spiritual needs.
He posted it on his page on the base website called "Chaplain's Corner."
And anti-Christian activists are demanding he be punished for it.
