Stop The ACLU, Support The Hostettler Bill

Thanks to STOP THE ACLU for pointing out this article at WorldNetDaily.

Make sure to contact your representatives and senators to express your support.

And sign the petition to get the ACLU off the taxpayer's dole! http://www.grassfire.net/33/petition.asp


An Indiana congressman plans to curb the ACLU's appetite for filing suits targeting religion in the public square by introducing a bill that denies plaintiff attorneys the right to collect attorneys fees in such cases.

Rep. John Hostettler, R-Ind., is expected to file his measure next week to amend the Civil Rights Attorney's Fees Act of 1976, 42 U.S.C. Section 1988, to prohibit prevailing parties from being awarded attorneys fee in religious establishment cases, but not in other civil rights filings.

"The issue is about the absolute fanaticism of the ACLU and the absolute arrogance of a judiciary that says we have to wipe out of history all the evidence of our heritage," Lloyd told the Los Angeles Daily Journal, a legal newspaper.
