This is ridiculous, phony, fraud, hoax - find your own choice of words in

CBS will be forced to discontinue Touched By An Angel for using the word
God in every program.  Madeline Murray OHare, an atheist, successfully
eliminated the use of Bible reading & prayer from schools 15 years ago.
Her
organization has now been granted a Federal Hearing on the same subject
by
the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) in Washington, D.C.  Their
petition, No. 2493, would ultimately pave the way to stop the reading of
the
Gospel of our Lord & Savior, on the airwaves of America.  They took this
petition with 287,000 signatures to back their stand.  If this attempt is
successful, all Sunday Worship services being broadcast either by radio
or
television will stop.  This group is also campaigning to remove all
Christmas
programs, Christmas songs & Christmas carols from public schools!
YOU CAN HELP!  We are praying for at least 1 million signed letters.
This
would defeat their effort & show that there are many Christians alive,
well,
& concerned in our country.  Please print this letter; then cut off &
sign
 the form below.  Please do not sign jointly, such as Mr. & Mrs........

Each person should sign one letter separately, & mail in separate
envelopes.
Be
sure to put Petition 2495 on the envelope when you mail the letter.  This
has
 to go out regular mail.  It is very important that letters are mailed
right
away.
 Please e-mail this letter to all your friends & relatives & to anyone
else
 you feel led to.  Or photo copy it & mail it.  As Christians we must
unite in
 this.  Please do not take this lightly.  We ignored her once & lost
prayer in
 schools & in offices across the nation.  Please stand up for your
religious
 freedom & let your voice be heard.  Together we CAN make a difference in
our
 country while creating an opportunity for the lost to know the Lord.

 Re:  Petition 2493, 2495

 Dear Sirs:

 I am an American & am very thankful for my American Heritage.  Our
forefathers
founded this country under premise of a strong belief & faith in God &
His
principles.  I am also very aware of the role that our Christian faith
has
played in the freedom that we Americans now enjoy.  Therefore, I protest
any
effort to remove from radio & television, programs designed to nurture
faith
in God, or to remove Christmas programs, Christmas songs & Christmas
carols
from public airwaves, schools, office buildings, etc., as proposed in
petition 2493 or 2495.

 Sincerely,
