Washington Weekly Review Washington Weekly Review *Friday, January 7, 2011 **Roberta Combs, President* *Federal Court Rules Cross Unconstitutional*<http://www.cc.org/blog/federal_court_rules_cross_unconstitutional> Here we go again. The radically liberal 9th Circuit Federal Court of Appeals has overturned a lower court and found that a San Diego war memorial, shaped in the form of a cross, is unconstitutional, simply because it is on public land...which would constitute a government endorsement of religion. Really? Just curious, but does anyone really believe our government "endorses" religion? How could a government that sanctions the killing of a million or so unborn babies every year be said to "endorse" religion...?

Bush's 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, which provide great benefits for American families. The tax cut extensions were passed during the infamous "lame-duck" session of the expiring Democrat-controlled 111th Congress Christian Coalition of America is also touting late-year pre-Christmas victories in the field of communications including a "net neutrality" victory and a victory for low-power community radio stations across the country which will allow churches and synagogues and other small religious entities to be heard. There were a number of conservative groups supporting net neutrality -- a policy to ensure grassroots groups would not be discriminated against on the Internet by the gigantic communication corporation duopoly -- but Christian Coalition of America took the lead...

The form tells parents to check either: "Yes, my child will participate in the weekly Pledge of Allegiance", or "No, my child will not participate in the weekly Pledge of Allegiance." The letter goes on to urge parents to "have a conversation as a family to help your children understand why I will be reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and to support them in feeling comfortable and confident in the decision on whether or not to participate." So what does this tell us...?
