Want to keep Christ present in CHRISTMAS? Send the ACLU a CHRISTMAS CARD!
As they are working so very hard to get rid of the CHRISTMAS part of this holiday, we should all send them a nice, CHRISTIAN, 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.
(It's Not the Christian Way, ya know?)
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 39 cents and tell the ACLU to leave Christmas alone. Also tell them that there is no such thing as a Holiday Tree. . . . It's a Christmas Tree! Also, send this to your e-mail buddies.

Hate to brake it to you Blue (Good name as non-Christians are so blue) but the ACLU is sueing over the NATIVITY scene.
BTW, it's Christian, OH and BTW again, they're going to the supreme court. Watch the news sometime and it's on all the news, not just FOX news (the best news in the country) and expanding to other countries. Wow! The highest rated news broadcast in the United States! God Bless America! Please educate yourself by tomorrow!!!!!!!!
Merry Christmas!

Oh: Great idea !!! Can you just imagine when outfits like the ACLU get rid of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, Sundays etc. and thereby, turn them into regular working days since Christian practices are banned ? !!!

Yes i have! You know there is nothing wrong with that. It's just a season's Greetings! By sending Xmas card you will not become Christian, and being a christian is not a way to go to Heaven.
It's a season of giving and sharing! Share it and be blessed. Make someone smile this Christmas!

Please check this out, the whole thing is based on an urban legend. (The ACLU "Christmas card" campaign, that is.)
______________________________
"How The ACLU Didn't Steal Christmas (12/7/2005)
By Fran Quigley
Fran Quigley, Executive Director, Indiana Civil Liberties Union
When the angry phone calls and emails started arriving at the office, I knew the holiday season was upon us. A typical message shouted that we at the American Civil Liberties Union are "horrible" and "we should be ashamed of ourselves," and then concluded with an incongruous and agitated "Merry Christmas."
We get this type of correspondence a lot, mostly in reaction to a well-organized attempt by extremist groups to demonize the ACLU, crush religious diversity, and make a few bucks in the process. Sadly, this self-interested effort is being promoted in the guise of defending Christmas.
For example, the Alliance Defense Fund celebrates the season with an "It's OK to say Merry Christmas" campaign, implying that the ACLU has challenged such holiday greetings. (As part of the effort, you can get a pamphlet and two Christmas pins for $29.)
The website WorldNetDaily touts a book claiming "a thorough and virulent anti-Christmas campaign is being waged today by liberal activists and ACLU fanatics." The site's magazine has suggested there will be ACLU efforts to remove "In God We Trust" from U.S. currency, fire military chaplains, and expunge all references to God in America's founding documents. (Learn more for just $19.95 . . . )
Of course, there is no "Merry Christmas" lawsuit, nor is there any ACLU litigation about U.S. currency, military chaplains, etc. But the facts are not important to these groups, because their real message is this: By protecting the freedom of Muslims, Jews, and other non-Christians through preventing government entanglement with religion, the ACLU is somehow infringing on the rights of those with majority religious beliefs.
In truth, it is these website Christians who are taking the Christ out of the season. Nowhere in the Sermon on the Mount did Jesus Christ ask that we celebrate His birth with narrow-mindedness and intolerance, especially for those who are already marginalized and persecuted. Instead, the New Testament—like the Torah and the Koran and countless other sacred texts—commands us to love our neighbor, and to comfort the sick and the imprisoned.
That's what the ACLU does. We live in a country filled with people who are sick and disabled, people who are imprisoned, and people who hunger and thirst for justice. Those people come to our Indiana offices for help, at a rate of several hundred a week, usually because they have nowhere else to turn. The least of our brothers and sisters sure aren't getting any help from the Alliance Defense Fund or WorldNet Daily. So, as often as we can, ACLU secures justice for those folks who Jesus worried for the most.
As part of our justice mission, we work hard to protect the rights of free religious expression for all people, including Christians. For example, we recently defended the First Amendment rights of a Baptist minister to preach his message on public streets in southern Indiana. The ACLU intervened on behalf of a Christian valedictorian in a Michigan high school, which agreed to stop censoring religious yearbook entries, and supported the rights of Iowa students to distribute Christian literature at their school.
There are many more examples, because the ACLU is committed to preserving the constitutional guarantee of religious freedom for all. We agree with the U.S. Supreme Court's firm rulings that this freedom means that children who grow up in non-Christian homes should not be made to feel like outsiders in their own community's courthouse, legislature or public schoolhouse.
To our "Merry Christmas" correspondents and all other Hoosiers, we wish you happy holidays.
Fran Quigley is executive director of the Indiana Civil Liberties Union, www.iclu.org. As of January 1, 2006, the organization is changing its name to ACLU of Indiana. "
You'll forgive me if I believe the actual people involved over a random on Yahoo. I'm just trying to save the trees wasted on this campaign.
Happiest of Holidays!

Once again you are propagating this thoroughly debunked chain-letter on here.
Why do you call yourself a Christian when the basic Commandment of "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour" obviously means nothing to you.
Encouraging a harassment campaign based on a lie against an organization is bearing false witness.
Find something more productive to do with that Christian zeal.

If the biggest thing you have to worry about is people calling Christmas trees "Holiday trees" instead, then you're doing pretty good.

A more "Christian way" would be to not judge, and to use that 39 cents to share. Even if it's less, it can save a life.
But hell, what do I know about the Christmas spirit, right?
Edit: BlueOctagon, you're awesome!

Man, you're ignorant. Go back to Afghanistan, and take all your little Taliban Fox News buddies with you. We real Americans are sick of you and your little anti-American diatribes.

Don't you realize that xmas and all the traditions surrounding it are pagan?!? The tree, the gifts, the stockings, red and green, the feasting....all of it is pagan. Even the date is pagan. Get over yourself. You are quickly becoming a troll my dear.
