It is time that all Christians get involved with their prayers, and their money.. Don't you know that this is how those who oppose Christianity is winning this war over our very rights..They give their money in support. WE have the power of Prayer and also that of giving that will do so much more but if Christians think, oh well someone else will do it. That is a lie and puts off the responsibility of our very freedom on the line. Copy this message, send it to your senators and donate money to those who are fighting this political and spiritual war against Satan and those who follow Him!! Blessings.

To every single Child of Almighty God!
If the ACLU has its way, two school employees will go to
jail simply because of a prayer over a meal!
That's right...the ACLU specifically targeted Santa Rosa
County, Florida, school Principal Frank Lay and Athletic
Director Robert Freeman for a prayer over a meal at an
appreciation luncheon with booster club members and
other adults.
The case stems from an ACLU lawsuit filed last year
against Santa Rosa County schools. In the case, the ACLU
used its classic bullying tactics to get the school and
a federal judge to agree to an overly broad court order
that banned any prayer or religious activities by school
employees before, during or after school.
Because the order is clearly unconstitutional, Liberty
Counsel filed a motion to intervene to challenge the order.
++ACLU showing new level of aggression
But the ACLU didn't stop there... ACLU attorneys then began
to target individuals in the school system!
That's when the ACLU filed a legal "complaint" against Lay
and Freeman. The ACLU told the court that Lay's and Freeman's
prayer to bless the meal at the luncheon violated the court
order.
Based solely on the ACLU's allegations and without hearing
any legal argument, U.S. District Court Judge Casey Rodgers
initiated criminal contempt proceedings and referred the
case to the U.S. Attorney's office!
Which brings us to today...
In just over one month, these two school employees will
stand before a federal court and face criminal contempt
charges and jail time in a federal prison simply for
offering a prayer at a luncheon!
+ + I need your help to fight back against this outrageous attack
The simple fact is, the ACLU did NOT have to file the initial
lawsuit... The ACLU did NOT have to file the complaint against
the school employees over a prayer for a meal. Yet, the ACLU
is now pushing the criminal contempt charge to intimidate
school employees.
I believe the ACLU has been emboldened by the ultra-
liberal leadership in the White House and Congress to
press an even more radical agenda than ever before!
And the victims of this new ACLU strategy are school principals
like Frank Lay, athletic directors like Robert Freeman... and
any Christian who dares to express his faith - or even say a
prayer before a meal - at a public function.
Liberty Counsel attorneys are right in the middle of this
battle - and I am determined to fight and win against the
ACLU's hostile attacks against our God-given religious liberties.
Mr. Lay and Mr. Freeman have asked Liberty Counsel to represent
them in court. That means Liberty Counsel attorneys will be
in court standing side-by-side with these two men when this
case goes to trial on September 17.
I need your help to defend these public servants and to head
off the ACLU's attempt to gain a new precedent against freedom.
Just one case against the ACLU can cost literally tens of
thousands of dollars... and that is on top of all our other
efforts to defend life, liberty and family in these dangerous times.
Prince, would you prayerfully consider
sending a special tax-deductible gift right now to help
Liberty Counsel defend Frank Lay and Robert Freeman
while we continue our many other vital efforts? Go here:

If we let the ACLU succeed in criminalizing prayer before meals
in Santa Rosa County, Florida, we will witness an unprecedented
assault across the country in the days and weeks to come.
Let's face it... with Barack Obama in charge of the Justice
Department, the ACLU is emboldened and we can expect to see
more and more cases like this one, especially if they start
gaining momentum.
Your gift right now of $25, $50, $100 - or whatever the Lord
leads -- will help Liberty Counsel fight in Florida and in
communities like yours across the Nation.
Again... Liberty Counsel attorneys are now at the epicenter of
this battle. This is the first time of which we are aware
that an American citizen has faced CRIMINAL CHARGES AND
PRISON TIME for praying in public!
Thank you in advance for your prayers and your financial support.
Only by standing together will we be able to turn back such
dangerous, unprecedented ACLU attacks. May God bless you.
Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman
Liberty Counsel
P.S. This time, it is Frank Lay and Robert Freeman who are
facing the brunt of the ACLU's attacks, criminal charges and
possibly jail time. It could have been you or me or any
other Christian in America! That's why I'm asking you to
help Liberty Counsel defend these two victims of the ACLU's
bullying. Please help with your most generous tax-deductible
gift today:
