We Must Pray for Prayer Over a Meal
By Anonymous — Friday, August 21st, 2009
From the Desk of: Tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. in the federal court serving Northern Florida, the first of three defendants charged with illegally praying (or merely encouraging prayer) over a meal will face Judge Casey Rodgers. Michelle Winkler, a Santa Rosa County clerical assistant asked her husband to bless a meal at a privately sponsored "Employee of the Year" banquet held at a rented, off-campus facility well after school hours. But the prying eyes of the ACLU took note, and Michelle now faces stiff fines and censure! Mrs. Winkler is charged with civil contempt, but her school's principal, Frank Lay, and its athletic director, Robert Freeman, face CRIMINAL charges before the same judge on September 17. All three defendants are subject to losing their jobs because of this. Although the potential penalties are not as severe in Michelle's case, the core issues are much the same. This historic battle begins tomorrow in Pensacola! We have spread the word of the ACLU's outrageous attempt to criminalize Christianity in America in every way we can. We have appeared on the Fox News Channel, CNN, and scores of other national broadcast outlets, and will continue doing so. We were on Fox News discussing Michelle's plight again just this morning. But now I need your help in two very important ways: ACTION ITEM ONE: Please pray! There's a reason the ACLU doesn't want prayer in public places - they can't make headway on their secular, statist agenda when we pray! And Michelle Winkler needs prayers from brothers and sisters across America to stand strong tomorrow. Just imagine being in her place! ACTION ITEM TWO: Tell as many Christian friends as possible about this pivotal battle for the soul of our Nation, and ask them to join you in prayer! Even if you've already done I cannot emphasize strongly enough what a crucially important group of cases this is! The future of American law and our precious freedom of religious expression literally hang in the balance in this small Florida Panhandle community. You can learn more about this historic battle and help Liberty Counsel stand up to the bullies of the ACLU by going here: ++Criminalizing Christianity The Santa Rosa County School System is emblematic of every public school system in America, including the one that serves your community. The super-rich, ultraliberal ACLU bullies fully intend to add precedent upon precedent in highly targeted cases like Santa We simply MUST win this group of cases, starting with Michelle Winkler's. But it won't be easy. We're up against the deep-pocketed ACLU that has hundreds of millions of dollars. And they have specifically targeted our clients in Florida as part of a nation-wide campaign. PLEASE PRAY FOR LIBERTY COUNSEL AND THIS CASE! AND PRAY FOR Liberty Counsel attorneys are on the front line of this battle and we simply can't succeed without your help! Below I have included the alert we sent early last week which has more details about this case, both for your review and to give the background to your friends. Report: ACLU wants to criminalize meal-time prayer If the ACLU has its way, 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 Because the order is clearly unconstitutional, Liberty Counsel filed a motion to intervene to challenge the order. Thank you and God Bless you. |
