oldphart Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 What a clever idea! Yes, Christmas cards. This is coming early so that you can get ready to include an important address to your list. Want to have some fun this CHRISTMAS? Send the ACLU a CHRISTMAS CARD this year. As they are working so very hard to get rid of the CHRISTMAS part of this holiday, we should all send them a nice, card to brighten up their dark, sad, little world. Make sure it says "Merry Christmas" on it. Here's the address, just don't be rude or crude: ACLU 125 Broad Street , 18th Floor New York , NY 10004 Two tons of Christmas cards would freeze their operations because they wouldn't know if any were regular mail containing contributions. So spend 44 cents and tell the ACLU to leave Christmas alone. Also tell them that there is no such thing as a" Holiday Tree". It's always been called a CHRISTMAS TREE! And pass this on to your email lists. We really want to communicate with the ACLU! They really DESERVE us!! For those of you who aren't aware of them, the ACLU, (the American Civil Liberties Union) is the one suing the U.S. Government to take God, Christmas or anything religious away from us. They represent the atheists and others in this war. Help put Christ back in Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BITEME Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Its really not about taking away your right to believe in a God. Its more about putting it back in your own house, respecting the fact that there are people that dont want to call it that because of ther own beliefs. Religion should never have been allowed to be a precuser to making decisions in peoples lives Religion should play no roll in politics decisions are made by Men/Women what you do and call things in your house is your business and you will have lots of time later to meet "YOUR" God I dont agree with the attempted alteration and for me it has nothing to do with religion more tradition then anything. For me it will always be Christmas and a Christmas Tree for my own reasons whether someone makes a decision or not about it you will never force me to call it otherwise JMO Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassmaster4 Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 They can be expecting a card from me thats for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishnwire Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 How does the ACLU (or anyone for that matter) prevent you from using the term "Christmas"? You can call it what you want and so can anyone else. It seems to me that a person with the "spirit of Christmas" in them wouldn't waste time sending a card to someone who won't appreciate it...let alone do so to purposefully interfere with legitimate fund-raising. I'm sure you know plenty of individuals who would genuinely enjoy receiving a card or note from you this time of year. Why not think of them instead? Happy Holidays...Merry Christmas...whatever floats your boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushart Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 OK I'm not very politically correct but.... I had my printer make up some of my art Christmas cards this year. So---They all say "Merry Christmas" inside--not Seasons Greetings etc. My work---get to say what I want---want to be PC you'll have to go to WalMart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsn Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) I didn't know anything about ACLU nor heard about "ACLU." But after looking up their site and reading what they stand for... I think they are saying they don't want the government to promote any kind of religion. ACLU is not against Christmas they are fighting for the people to keep Christmas as is. And keep governments out of promoting any kind of religon. Keeping them out of it completely. Good for them !! Last thing we need is for Governments to take away more of our fun that we enjoy freely. DSN Edited November 12, 2010 by DSN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jughead Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 The ACLU isn't against Christmas or religion. They are against the inclusion of one religion at the expense of others in public policy and institutions. I am sure they will be warmed by the Christmas cards given they have no issue with Christmas, and presents, and hanging shiny things on trees and a magical fat man in a red suit who gets pulled around the world by reindeer, one of whom has an electric nose: just like it happened in the bible.

perchslayer666 Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Who cares about this crap? It's always been Christmas to me, and when the time comes, it's Merry Christmas to everyone. It think people give this "movement" too much of their time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfish1965 Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 And I think we have given it enough of our time. Thanks for keeping it civil, but in the interest of Christmas spirit, we'll put this one to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
