I want to express my disatisfaction with this orginization and what they have become. I find that ACLU is becoming a bandstand for atheist and have taken the seperation of church and state a little to far. Everytime I turn around this group is speaking for a few and not the majority of the people. If I am correct they have also been behind the state flag issue, removing any trace of the word God from our vocabulary(if they had their way)and any other rediculious cause that comes down the pike. I believe at one time this may have been a worth while originazation. But they have had their way for to long. Now it has come to the pledge of the United States and the again the word of God is the issue. I am for pray in the school and the Pledge. I grew up going to school with both and I believe moral values were so much respected during this period. I believe in the rights of others, however when those rights begin to effect the rights of the majority of the US citizen something has to be done. I have seen this orginazation have the cross removed from city seals that have been in place for hundreds of years and wanting to remove the Ten Comandments from a courthouse etc. This has become rediculious and I will support the freedom of the majority to have the word God as a part of our government and society. Therefore, I will support elected officials who decide to stand up to this orginzation and what they are doing to this Great County. If the ACLU is any way funded by the government it should be halted. The government has no right to fund such a negative group and I don't want my tax dollars supporting them. Our government has to much waste and the tax dollars cant be spent in a more useful way. I am contacting all my government officials with this same letter of discust.Lets get back to a moral standing in our communities and this country will once again be where we belong. Please respond to my comment. I am interested in your opinion as how we can appoach this delima of seperation of church and state since our country was founded on these beliefs.
