|What: |A press conference to unveil public campaign to educate and activate citizens to take action to stop |
| |ACLU attacks against American values and heritage. |
|When: |Tomorrow, (DAY, DATE, TIME) |
|Where: |LOCATION (Post, City Hall, Address) |
|Background: |Our Flag, the Pledge of Allegiance, the Boy Scouts, our veteran’s memorials, our religious history and |
| |heritage, our American values--- all are under attack. The courts are awarding the ACLU millions of |
| |dollars in taxpayer-paid “attorney fee awards” authorized under the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S. Code |
| |Section 1988. |
| | |
| |Most Americans don’t know the ACLU is profiting every time they challenge our values and heritage. |
| |Examples include: |
| | |
| |A Federal Court in Riverside, CA allowed the ACLU to pursue a precedent-setting lawsuit to remove a |
| |solitary cross from the Mojave Desert Veterans Memorial. ACLU attorneys were awarded $63,000 for this |
| |case. |
| | |
| |The ACLU reaped some $940,000 in settlement from the City of San Diego when it surrendered in ACLU’s |
| |litigation to kick the Boy Scouts out of Balboa Park. The Boy Scouts are appealing. The American Legion|
| |has filed a friend-of-the-court brief supporting the Scouts. The list goes on. |
| | |
| |The American Legion adopted Resolution 326 at National Convention calling for Congress to amend the law|
| |and end judges’ authority to award attorney fees in cases brought “to remove or destroy religious |
| |symbols." The bottom line: Stopping the funding will remove or seriously decrease the incentive of the |
| |ACLU to pursue frivolous suits against American values. A BILL IS NOW PENDING IN THE 109TH CONGRESS. |
