"I pledge alliegance to the flag of the United States of America. And to the republic for which it stands. One Nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all." PLEDGE BATTLE REACHES SUPREME COURT As you may know, California's Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has banned the Pledge of Allegiance from our schools because, they say, the phrase "under God" is unconstitutional. Now, the Bush administration has asked the Supreme Court to reverse the earlier California Court's decision. However, before that happens, the High Court must first decide if it even wants to hear the case. If the Supreme Court decides against hearing the case, it will make it illegal for nearly 10 million school children from nine Western states to recite our nation's Pledge of Allegiance! And that's not all! Even if the Supreme Court does agree to hear the case but fails to overturn the ruling, it would usher in a frighteningly new era whereby all of our nation's most sacred documents could, as John Ashcroft says, be put "to the chopping block." WE MUST TAKE ACTION! Last summer, just hours after this ruling, Grassfire.net launched a nationwide petition to rally hundreds of thousands of Americans as to counteract this attack on our Pledge of Allegiance. After weathering an initial frenzy of protest, those hoping to gut the Pledge have watched as the issue has all but fallen from public view. Unless we can wake up our slumbering nation to this attack, we run the very real risk of losing much more than just the Pledge. WE NEED YOUR HELP! Already, Grassfire has rallied and delivered more than 260,000 petitions to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals! We have urged citizens to send thousands of faxes and phone calls to the 9th Circuit Court, and even submitted a "Friend Of The Court" brief -- co-signed by over 50,000 friends like you -- directly to the Court. Now we need to stir a nation! * * * * * ACTION ITEM CLICK BELOW TO TAKE A STAND IN SUPPORT OF THE PLEDGE IN OUR SCHOOLS: SIGN HERE PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION. THEN, ALERT AT LEAST 20-30 OF YOUR FRIENDS--URGING THEM TO JOIN YOU IN OUR NATIONAL CAMPAIGN TO SUPPORT THE PLEDGE!
