The most extreme of the Republican right wing met on January 8, 2006, in Philadelphia for a rally called Justice Sunday III. This
meeting launched the next phase of their assault on the federal judiciary,
and in the middle of these extremists will be Senator Rick Santorum.
The event in Philadelphia was broadcast to
churches nationwide through Christian television and radio, and
it was designed to build grassroots support for an overthrow of
the sacred principle of separation of church and state.
The line up of right wing zealots for
this event is impressive. Headlining
the event was Jerry Falwell, who along with his compatriot Pat
Robertson blamed the September 11th attacks on "the
sins of the nation." Also headlining was James
Dobson, head of the powerful group Focus on the Family who
insists that a woman's place is in the home.
These religious warriors believe the
church should be the state -- THEIR CHURCH AND THEIR STATE!
Sign this petition and tell Senator Rick Santorum
to stop pandering to right wing extremists, and support the
American Principle of separation of church and state. Dear Senator Santorum,
The most extreme of the Republican right wing is gathering on the eve of the Alito hearings to launch the next phase of their assault on the federal judiciary. I wanted to use this opportunity to ask you to stand up for the American principle of separation of church and state.
Justice Sunday III is being billed as a religious event, but we aren’t fooled. The event in Philadelphia will be broadcast to churches nationwide through Christian television and radio and it’s designed to build grassroots support for an overthrow of the sacred principle of separation of church and state.
In December you backed away from intelligent design, another attempt by religious extremists to erode the church and state principle - and now you have another opportunity to make a statement to defend our Constitution.
Please help keep our judiciary fair and independent and stand for the American principle of separation of church and state.
Sincerely,
/your name/
/your address/
