It
goes without saying that long-standing, firmly-held religious liberties
are being dismantled piece by piece at the hands of liberal federal
judges who seek to make law rather than interpret it. (See
Examples)
S. 1558 is a proposed legislative statute which would remove from
federal court review the displaying of the Ten Commandments, the National
Motto and the Pledge of Allegiance.
Using this approach, a constitutional amendment would not be
needed. Sen. Allard's bill would become law by a simple majority vote in
both houses of Congress and the signature of the President. No liberal federal
judge would have any authority to rule on this law!
Although this approach, under Article III, Section 2, of the Constitution is not widely reported in the media nor understood by the general public, it was used
11 times during the last Congress!
Here's what this bill would do:
-
Eliminate situations such as that recently faced by Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore.
- Allow Americans the freedom to display the National Motto, say the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, and display the Ten Commandments wherever the local community decides-even
on government property!
-
End conflicting enforcement of U.S. law. For example, a federal judge in Pennsylvania has ruled that displaying the Ten Commandments in a public building is constitutional, while another federal judge in Alabama ruled such a display unconstitutional.
ACTIONS WE URGE YOU TO TAKE:
-
Contact your two U.S. Senators and urge them to co-sponsor S. 1558.
-
Tell at least one other friend or family member who is concerned about this issue.
