Here is a copy of an e-newsletter that I receive from American Family Association Online. It is an online push for a petition to encourage an Amendment to the Constitution pertaining to The Pledge of Allegiance and the official U.S. motto that appears on money.

Tells ACLU meeting "In God We Trust" must go
Dear John,
Michael Newdow, who has already filed a suit to take "under God" out of the Pledge of Allegiance, is now suing to remove our national motto from our currency.
Newdow told the ACLU of Oklahoma that the national motto on U.S. currency is a violation of the separation of church and state. He is offended because he is an atheist. He wants to use the Federal courts to make his atheism the official religion of America.
Newdow filed in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals which recently ruled that judges, not parents, have the final say in what will be taught school children concerning sex education. These same liberal judges supported Newdow and ruled that the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance was unconstitutional. That suit was dismissed due to a technicality so Newdow sued again.
The 9th U.S. Circuit is expected to agree with Newdow. The case will then go to the U.S. Supreme Court for final action.
Help us secure one million signatures on the petition below to stop Newdow. Remember that only one person—Madelyn Murray O'Hare—was able to get prayer in schools banned. We must not allow one person—Newdow—to get our national motto removed from our currency by our silence.
During the last session of Congress, Representative Chip Pickering introduced a constitutional amendment to guarantee the right to use and recite the motto and the Pledge of Allegiance. Your petition will encourage Rep. Pickering to re-introduce his constitutional amendment in the present session of Congress and send a message to the liberal judges of the 9th U.S. Circuit.
Please act quickly, and forward this to friends and family.
Click here to sign the petition now!

P.S. Please forward this e-mail message to your family and friends!

Too bad one rarely comes to this blog.
This one was worth the effort of immediate results.
My hope is I am wrong and many are taking advangtage while the petition is active and that readers are simply not leaving comments. :-)
