Dear President Bush,
Thank you for your leadership during these very difficult years. I thank God you are in charge, rather than your liberal opponents of each campaign. As a Christian and former member of our military, I am sickened by the constant attack by the ACLU on Christianity on all fronts. Our country was founded upon the Christian faith. Please protect what the founding fathers of our country staked their lives on.

Dear Pres. Bush,
I ask that you make it possible for our military to be able to pray in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord at any time they wish. Our military certainly deserves the best and that is giving them the best. Without the Lord to give them the assurance of his presense with them, even though they can pray for themselves, they need to be able to feel absolutely not restrictions on praying to our Lord. Thanks for your attention on this matter.

This is really stupid. I’m not even a Christian, but you know what? This is a Christian country. When I was a Marine, when the chaplain said “let us pray” we all bowed our heads out of *respect* for those to whom the prayer is very important.

Liberals have absolutely no respect for their freedoms, for this country and for their fellow men.

Excuse me Arford, but Bruiser’s criticisms of the President were dismissed because they had no substance, were not based on fact, and did nothing but spin. The only thing Bush has screwed up so far in his second term is not being conservative enough. The public use fo the name Jesus is NOT prohibited in the Constitution anywhere. A government official giving worship to Jesus in public is not the government imposing one religion. If you don’t like it, don’t pray with them. It is the practice of Christianity to pray publicly, and to say that a government or military office can’t where an assembly is required is saying he can’t is taking away his freedom of religion.

Comrades,

I have to disagree with this petition. I/m a disabled veteran. I’ve been there, and done that. I have the absolute respect for any man who will don a Chaplain’s mantle and brave the fire of the enemy armed only with his faith. He is there to comfort those in need, and he does his work inselfishly, many times giving his own life in the defence on another.
However, I cannot countenance the act of allowing specific religious invocations at mandatory assemblies except in the broadest ecuminical sense. Asking God’e blessing upon those assembled is fine. Asking in the name of Jesus, or Allah, or Krishna is not.
Chaplians are sworn to uphold the Constitution, as is any military officer. They are REQUIRED by law and their oath thusly to respect all religious freedoms, including the right to be free of any particular sect or dogma.
It’s a fine line to walk, to be certain. The SJC has upheld the right to references to God by Congressional and Senatorial chaplains, military chaplains, and upon public buildings. However, allowing specific dogmatic use during any assembly where attendance is mandatory must be prohibited.
Respects to all,
Gwedd

Please protect by Executive Order the constitutional rights of military chaplains to pray according to their faith.

Here’s a solution: Get these douchebags off of the public payroll and they can pray to Jesus all they want.
