Object: Urgent: Oppose PERA - Public Expression of Religion Act
I just took action with DefCon America to tell the my representative in Congress
to oppose an outrageous attack on religious freedom. I hope you will too.
At the urging of the religious right, the House of Representatives is poised to
vote on the Public Expression of Religion Act (PERA) this week; a bill that
would weaken our nation's commitment to the separation of church and state.
The Constitution ensures that there is no establishment of a state-sponsored
religion - something the religious right has long sought to overturn. Currently,
citizens who win lawsuits challenging infringements of this clause - such as Ten
Commandment displays on government property and prayer in public schools - are
able to receive reimbursement for the legal fees they collect in the process.
Take action now and demand your Representative put the Constitution above the
religious right and vote NO on this bill:

I think it was at a different site, but I signed a petition to kill this
POS bill today.

I get those and perhaps a few more too. I'm getting so many petitions
these days it's hard to keep track. My Email box and my snail mail box
is full of politically oriented ads recently. Do you think there's an
election coming up?
