Citizen Campaign Urges Bush To Save Mt. Soledad Cross
Here is a little update in the Mt. Soledad situation, as America struggles to save its history from the clutches of the ACLU!
Via WND
A campaign is under way to save the Mount Soledad cross in Southern California by urging President Bush to sign an executive order transferring the land to the National Park Service.
As we reported earlier, U.S. District Judge Gordon Thompson ordered the city of San Diego to remove a mountain-top cross within 90 days or face a fine of $5,000 a day. Of course the ruling was based off of the old myth of “seperation of church and state”.
The American Family Association is asking citizens to send an e-mail to the president to effectively take “the case out of Judge Thompson’s hands.”
“If Judge Thompson’s order stands, it could eventually mean the removal of every cross in every state and federal cemetery,” the AFA declares.
From the AFA Website’s Action Center:
A liberal activist judge has ordered the city of San Diego to remove a cross from Mt. Soledad or be fined $5000 a day. Judge Gordon Thompson, Jr., ordered the cross removed because, he said, it violated the separation of church and state. One atheist had complained about the cross in a battle that has been going on for years.
For over 50 years the site has been recognized by the public as a place where war veterans are recognized for their service to America. Most of the veterans recognized are from the greater San Diego area. Last summer 76 percent of the city’s voters (197,000) approved keeping the cross.
All the legal steps for the city to turn over the property to the National Park Service have been approved. All that is needed now is an executive order signed by President Bush. If President Bush fails to sign an executive order, the $5000 a day fine against the city will go into effect in 90 days.
Take Action
Help save the cross! Please send an email to President Bush asking him to sign the executive order transferring the property to the federal government, thus taking the case out of Judge Thompson’s hands. If Judge Thompson’s order stands, it could eventually mean the removal of every cross in every state and federal cemetery. Please forward this to family and friends.

“…as America struggles to save its history”
I think the ACLU’s demand that this monument be removed is uncalled for, but you’re going to have to offer evidence that a big-ass cross is a vital element of America’s history. In order to help you coalesce your argument, I’ll kindly remind you that blind, loud repetition does not legitimize untrue statement, and that anyone who links to Worldnut Daily “news” items in 2/3 of his blog entries carries a grave risk of being dead wrong at all times.
