Falwell is out to get all of us who do not follow Christmas the way he wants
it followed:
Evangelical Christian pastor Jerry Falwell has a message for Americans
when it comes to celebrating Christmas this year: You’re either with us, or
you’re against us.Falwell has put the power of his 24,000-member congregation behind the
“Friend or Foe Christmas Campaign,” an effort led by the conservative legal
organization Liberty Counsel. The group promises to file suit against anyone
who spreads what it sees as misinformation about how Christmas can be
celebrated in schools and public spaces.The 8,000 members of the Christian Educators Association International
will be the campaign’s “eyes and ears” in the nation’s public schools.
They’ll be reporting to 750 Liberty Counsel lawyers who are ready to pounce
if, for example, a teacher is muzzled from leading the third-graders in
“Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.”An additional 800 attorneys from another conservative legal group, the
Alliance Defense Fund, are standing by as part of a similar effort, the
Christmas Project. Its slogan: “Merry Christmas. It’s OK to say it.”

This would violate our constitution on so many levels. Separation of church
and state, freedom of religion. What is worse is the fact that our courts are
loaded down as it is. Bush campaigned to try and fix that problem yet his buddy
Jerry is working to fill them more.
