How can we stop the ACLU? I am serious, so please try and refrain from half-cocked comments. Everyday, it seems, I am reading about another way the ACLU is trampling on the rights of the majority in a wacked out attempt to push its leftist agenda. From getting a cross taken out of the city of Los Angeles' crest (98% of L. A. residents polled wanted to keep it), to attacking a private entity such as the Boy Scouts, to turning the word Christmas into a vulagarity. I have seen and heard enough out of these people.
My idea is this. I want to start a grass roots effort to combat the ACLU. The problem is I wouldn't even know where to start. So I am appealing to you Freepers. I have faith that there are enough rational, intelligent people on here to come up with some truly viable ideas. I am all for having fun, but please try to keep the stupid comments to a minimum. I know that may be asking a lot of some of you, but please try and refrain.
Let's put our clout to use.
Thanks for pointing that out. I had never read that before.
What a bunch of opportunistic hypocrites.
Not one member of the ACLU executive board has ever been a member of the US military, the boy or girls scouts, or a practicing Chrisitan.
The only way to fight it in this PC world we live in is to form an Anti-Defamation league like the Jews.
Get Christian people together, particiularly lawyers willing to go pro bono and the wealthy folks also anger over this distructive entity....and imitate them....Sue them as individuals...attack their free tax status, intimidate their leadership as individuals....do just what they do!
Mostly because every government entity in Los Angeles is as Leftist as they come. They practically squealed with glee at having the ACLU cast its evil eye upon them.
Revealing FACTS on the ACLU
from its own writings
by Diane Dew
Ever notice how the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) seems to take on only cases that are anti-Christian - pro-sodomy, pro-abortion, anti-family, pro-pornography, pro-prostitution, pro-euthanasia, pro-homosexual, pro-infanticide, pro-crime, pro-humanism, anti-God -- and, except for atheism, anti-religion?
It calls itself the American Civil Liberties Union, but the ACLU is not American; it is uncivil (to the unborn, which are shredded mercilessly to pieces without anesthetic); and it knows nothing of true liberty, which can only be found in Jesus Christ, when one is set free from the bondage of all the SIN this evil organization PROMOTES!
Stated Goals
The ACLU's founder, Roger Baldwin, stated: "We are for SOCIALISM, disarmament, and ultimately for abolishing the state itself... We seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and the SOLE CONTROL of those who produce wealth. COMMUNISM is the goal." (Source: Trial and Error, by Geo. Grant)
The ACLU is destructive to the fabric of our society. Christians must recognize Satan as the source - the instigator - when the end results of an organization's efforts are only "to kill, to steal, and to destroy." All we need to is examine the (rotten) fruit.
Following are some of the stated goals of the ACLU, from its own published Policy Issues:
*
the legalization of prostitution (Policy 211);
*
the defense of all pornography, including CHILD PORN, as "free speech" (Policy 4);
*
the decriminalization and legalization of all drugs (Policy 210);
*
the promotion of homosexuality (Policy 264);
*
the opposition of rating of music and movies (Policy 18);
*
opposition against parental consent of minors seeking abortion (Policy 262);
*
opposition of informed consent preceding abortion procedures (Policy 263);
*
opposition of spousal consent preceding abortion (Policy 262);
*
opposition of parental choice in children's education (Policy 80)
-- not to mention the defense and promotion of euthanasia, polygamy, government control of church institutions, gun control, tax-funded abortion, birth limitation, etc. (Policies 263, 133, 402, 47, 261, 323, 271, 91, 85).
Following is a case in point (from David Barton's "America: To Pray or Not to Pray").
In 1988, California was considering adopting legislation on sex education for public schools requiring that course material and
instruction should stress that monogamous heterosexual intercourse within marriage is a traditional American value.
The Senator promoting the bill received a letter of protest from the ACLU dated April 18, 1988 stating:
"It is our position that monogamous, heterosexual intercourse within marriage
as a traditional American value is an unconstitutional establishment of religious
doctrine in public schools.... We believe [this bill] violates the First Amendment."
Truth is, liberals are unwilling to simply let others be, but rather seek to impose their UNgodliness upon Christians. It is a mission to
them and other atheists to pervert the freedoms of others. The ACLU does not run to the defense of those who are harmed; it aggressively
seeks out opportunities to corrupt pure freedoms.
Finances
How does the ACLU pay for its activities?
George Grant, author of "Trial and Error," puts the ACLU's annual budget (1993) at $14 MILLION (FOURTEEN MILLION DOLLARS) - much of which is "SUPPLIED BY THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER through the Federal program mandated by the Civil Rights Attorneys' Fee Awards Act of 1976. If the ACLU wins a case that involves a public institution, for instance, the organization collects the full legal fees of its attorneys even though those attorneys offered their services pro bono (without charge).
Membership
1993 membership in the ACLU was 250,000 members, with 70 staff lawyers, and 5,000 volunteer attorneys, handling an average of 6,000 cases at any one time.

Hey! Not a bad idea. I'm not sure that I could be that deceptive though. I feel sure that this approach has been used to destroy organizations before.
Rise to the upper ranks of the organization by stealth and sack the bastards.
We need to fully support this reform. Your tax dollars support the ACLU whether you agree with them or not!
Bump!
I am almost certain that he said the Judges could be removed!
A whole gaggle of thong snapping Monica Lewinsky's. Let their soon to be ex-wives bankrupt them.
I'm thinking that the thong snapping may hold true for the male ACLU scum as well as the female (all lesbians?).
As if one of the rights contained in the Bill of Rights was a right to protect the government from the people. The idea is laughable. The ACLU has an agenda, and it's not what they pretend it is.
Give Bill O'Reily a little credit here, he has said more against the extremism of the aclu then any other TV personality I have seen.
I donate to the Thomas More Law Center. We're a military family, so we're not rolling in the dough or anything, but if we've got it then they've got it. :o)
Thomas More Law Center Bump!
The Thomas More Center is a great organization. I had the opportunity of speaking with one of its reps a few years ago, and a sharper, more enthusiastic, upbeat guy I've never met. Absolutely brilliant man. Wish I could remember his name.
Find ways to stop or slow the incoming funding from the big foundations and others. Write and publish lists of things they have done to ruin the Republic and subvert the laws of morality and Christianity. Freep their court dates. Make sure everyone knows their Commie background. Etc.
Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) - http://www.alliancedefensefund.org
Thomas More Law Center (TMLC) - http://www.thomasmore.org
American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) - http://www.aclj.org
The Rutherford Institute - http://www.rutherford.org/
Stop the ACLU Coalition - http://www.stoptheaclu.org
Here are a few examples of how two of those organizations are fighting back:
ADF Contacts Over 3,600 School Districts Over Attempts To Censor Christmas
ADF: 700 lawyers ready to fight ACLU lawsuits
ADF: Pentagons' Warning About Boyscouts Is Absurd
Thomas More Law Center: Town of Palm Beach Pays $50,000 In Attorney Fees Apologizes To Women In Nativity Lawsuit
