ALERT: Remember when the radical leftists at the American
Civil Liberties Union took their case against the Boy
Scouts all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, to try to
force them to accept homosexual scoutmasters?
Remember watching as one by one, the ACLU got cities and
companies to withdraw their support for the Boy Scouts
because of their insistence on their members holding a
belief in God?
Once again, the Boy Scouts are under ATTACK by the ACLU --
and this time, it looks like the ACLU is going to WIN...
unless WE do something to stop them!
So, once again, RightMarch.com is taking the lead by
taking out a NATIOWIDE full-page ad in support of the Boy
Scouts, and rallying patriotic Americans across the
country to DEMAND a reversal of the outrageous settlement
with the ACLU. Can YOU help us to pay for this bold
nationwide ad?

Last week, the U.S. Department of Defense settled with
the ACLU to *ban* military bases from sponsoring the Boy
Scouts of America. But, as noted in a WorldNetDaily column
by Hans Zeiger, a student at Hillsdale College and the
president of the Scout Honor Coalition, "The American
military cannot survive the challenges of the 21st century
without the preparatory support of the Boy Scouts of
America."
Millions of our bravest heroes in uniform -- thousands who
have given their lives in every war since World War I --
wore their first uniform as a Boy Scout. "A U.S. Marine
now in Iraq, who also was my Scoutmaster when I was growing
up, once told me that he became a Marine because he had
first been a Scout," said Zeiger.
Apparently seeking the annihilation of our nation's defensive
capacity along with its moral character, the ACLU announced
last week that U.S. military bases will no longer be able
to sponsor Boy Scout troops. It seems that our nation's
military leadership has broken wartime policy to settle with
the terrorists in the ACLU.
It is the Boy Scout Oath to which the ACLU responded by
filing legal claims against the U.S. Department of Defense,
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and
the Chicago Board of Education in 1999. "On my honor,"
goes the Oath, "I will do my best to do my duty to God and
my country, and to obey the Scout Law, to help other people
at all times, to keep myself physically strong, mentally
awake, and morally straight."
Wow. What a radically subversive oath. How has our country
survived all these years with the Boy Scouts reciting
something like that?
Do you see how RIDICULOUS this lawsuit by the ACLU has
been -- and how OUTRAGEOUS it is that the Defense Department
agreed to their demands?
We need to take out a FULL PAGE ad nationwide NOW, demanding
that Defense *reverse* this terrible settlement, and urging
Americans everywhere to stand up for the Boy Scouts. Can
you help us pay for this NATIONWIDE ad?

Following its new settlement with the ACLU, the Department
of Defense will be sending word to American military bases
worldwide that sponsorship of the Boy Scouts is strictly
prohibited. Though Boy Scouts -- primarily the children of
service members -- have long met on military bases in
association with a base sponsor, the days of political
correctness have brought that arrangement to an end.
And this is the George W. Bush / Donald Rumsfeld Department
of Defense that we're talking about!
Like an array of private organizations that, of necessity,
have dealings with our nation's armed forces, the Boy Scouts
adhere to beliefs and practices that fall outside the
sanction of public policy. No one on our nation's military
bases is coerced into supporting the Boy Scouts.
But we're willing to bet that members of our armed forces
hold the Scouts in much higher esteem than they do the ACLU.
TAKE ACTION: The Department of Defense cannot expect to win
wars abroad if it is capitulating to the demands of political
correctness at home. Our armed forces must be aligned with
the standards of character that make America worth fighting
for.
We MUST take a stand for what is RIGHT -- so once again,
RightMarch.com is stepping up to the plate and taking out a
NATIONWIDE full-page ad to rally the support of patriotic
Americans across this great country, and DEMAND that
President Bush and Secretary Rumsfeld do EVERYTHING possible
to reverse last week's settlement with the ACLU.
With the generous support of our members, we've taken out
a number of full-page ads across the nation in the past,
in widely-circulated papers like USA Today and the Washington
Times National Weekly Edition. And we're YOUR help, we're
ready to do it again!

institution like the Boy Scouts go unanswered. Please help

NOTE: Yes, the Boy Scouts do insist on belief in God. Over
the years since the Boy Scouts of America was founded, several
hundred atheists have been told that they could not serve in
positions of Scout leadership. Is this inconsistent with the
principles by which our nation's military and government operate?
Hans Zeiger notes that "just because military bases sponsor Scout
troops doesn't make those troops an extension of government.
Thousands of police and fire departments, cities and schools also
sponsor Boy Scout troops. The Boy Scouts remain a private
organization -- a partnership with government does not
automatically render an organization public domain."
It's also worth noting that our nation's military itself
administers an Oath of Military Service to new members of the
armed forces, that, like the Presidential, Congressional, and
Supreme Court Oaths of Office, concludes with the words, "So
help me God." In fact, all high-ranking government officers
must swear an oath in accordance with Section 3331 of Title V
of the U.S. Code that includes that little invocation to the
Almighty.
Expect the ACLU to come after THEM, too. These radicals MUST
be stopped. Please help today. Thank you!
