The man behind an online effort to rein in the American Civil Liberties Union is taking his campaign to America's churches, hoping to mobilize millions of believers into taking a stand against the legal organization.
As WorldNetDaily reported, Nedd Kareiva's StopThe ACLU.org is dedicating to ending the legal victories of the ACLU – from limiting the activities of the Boy Scouts to promoting same-sex marriage.
The website exists for one purpose, Kareiva says, "to mobilize millions of God-fearing, patriotic Americans to stand up to the ACLU agenda and consigning it to the ash heap of history (or export it to Communist regions)."
Now, the activist has begun a mailing campaign "to recruit pastors, church leaders and congregations to expose them to the ACLU's agenda. Just as the ACLU has 400,000 members, according to a recent article in the National Journal and another in the Washington Times, we are shooting for 1 million Stop the ACLU members."
On the website, Kareiva is asking for supporters to help him mail letters to churches across the nation. The form letter asks leaders and members "to visit the website and catch a vision of what we are doing."
Kareiva tells WND that since the ACLU visits college campuses to recruit followers, "we are countering them by going to our churches."
Said Kareiva: "Churches are at risk of the ACLU's agenda, particularly in efforts to force them to hire and prevent them from firing homosexuals and transsexuals."

We want to build a huge public awareness campaign against the ACLU and hopefully getting churches on board will help facilitate it,” the activist told WND. “Many are silent but when they see what we’re doing, we think they’ll mobilize. … We already have a few pastors from various denominations across America. We need thousands more.”

Any American who believes in individual liberty, personal responsibility, and free markets is a threat to the ACLU. Any judge or elected official who believes the same scares the crap outta the ACLU.
If you want to put the hurt on the ACLU then get rid of the law that requires government entities that are sued by the ACLU to pay their bills.
That is why they are careful to pick friendly jurisdictions in which to file suits.
FINALLY! Makes good sense.
