Removing the ACLU Incentive

The ACLU has long since abandoned it’s initial goal of social justice. Today, they’re as much about making money as anything else. But the Public Expression of Religion Act (PERA), H.R. 2679 could change that. Spread the word!

When the local school board in Miami voted to remove a pro-Castro book from the school library, the ACLU sued. “Censorship,” they cried. Of course, we never see the ACLU demanding that books like The Black Book of Communism be included in libraries. That book, written by French leftists, documents the fact that Castro’s government has killed 40,000 Cubans. The school board simply reflected the interest of the parents, but once again the ACLU wants to dictate policy in the school house by using the court house. Shockingly, the ACLU makes a financial killing suing states and localities in federal courts. That could change, however, if Rep. John Hostettler’s (R-IN) bill passes. The Public Expression of Religion Act (PERA), H.R. 2679, provides that no monetary damages, costs, or attorney’s fees can be awarded to the ACLU and its cohorts as a result of a public official’s performance of his duties. For too long, the ACLU has used an obscure provision of the civil rights laws to extort concessions from cash-strapped local governments. We must end the ACLU’s reign of terror. We must end the practice of taxing Americans to fund the ACLU’s assault on America and religious freedom. Thank you, Congressman Hostettler, for standing up to these bullies. [link]
