PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE YOU CAN!

Madeline Murray O'Hare, an atheist, successfully
eliminated the use of Bible reading and
prayer from schools fifteen years ago. Her
organization has now been granted a Federal
hearing on the same subject by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) in
Washington, D.C. Their petition, No. 2493 would
ultimately pave the way to stop the
reading of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ, on the airwaves of America.
They took this petition with 287,000 signatures to
back their stand. If this attempt is
successful, all Sunday Worship services being
broadcast either by radio or television will
stop. This group is also campaigning to remove all
Christmas programs, Christmas songs
and Christmas carols from public schools.

YOU CAN HELP!! We need one million signed letters.
This would defeat their effort and
show that there are many Christians alive, well and
concerned in our country. Please print
this message; cut off and sign the form below. PLEASE
DO NOT SIGN IT JOINTLY, such
as Mr. & Mrs. Each person should sign one letter
separately, and mail it in separate
envelopes. Be sure to put "Petition 2493" on the
envelope when you mail the letter. This
has to go out regular mail. It's important that you
do it right away. Please e-mail this letter
to all your friends and relatives and to anyone else
you feel led to; or photo copy it and mail.
Christians must unite on this. Please do not take
this lightly. We did once and lost prayer
in schools and in public offices accross the nation.
We cannot let this attempt succeed.

RE: Petition 2493

Dear Sirs,

I am an American and very thankful for my American
heritage. Our forefathers founded this
nation under the premise of a strong belief and faith
in God and His principles. I am also
very much aware of the role that our Christian faith
has played in the freedom that we enjoy.
Therefore, I protest any effort to remove from radio
or television, programs designed to nurture
or portray our faith in God. I do not wish to see
these programs removed from the airwaves,
schools, office buildings, etc. To do so would not
reflect a true picture of our American way
of life, our traditions, or the reasons our ancestors
came from other countries to populate the
lands of this continent. The effort to squelch our
identity, by this godless group, would violate
the rights of the majority of the god-fearing people
of this nation.

Sincerely,

Name:_____________________________

PLEASE MAIL AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE AND DON'T FORGET TO
SPREAD THE WORD!
