Stop The ACLU says that in yet another diplay of disdain for a government for the people, and by the people, the ACLU state that they know whats better.
Voters decide next week if the “City of Churches” should restore the cross to the Redlands seal.
When the American Civil Liberties Union threatened a costly lawsuit last year if the cross wasn’t eliminated, officials decided the cross must be erased from the city logo. Many residents were outraged and voters will now decide Tuesday if the religious symbol will return.If Measure Q wins, the ACLU will likely go to court.
“This is the first time this has happened, to my knowledge,” said ACLU attorney Peter Eliasberg, who tracks crosses on seals statewide. He said it is “highly likely” a lawsuit would be filed against the city if it reinstates the cross.
“The cross is clearly unconstitutional,” Eliasberg said. “It sends a message of favor for one religion over others.”
Last year, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted to take a cross off the county’s seal under threat of a lawsuit by the ACLU.
Scott Siegel, who led the drive to put Measure Q on Tuesday’s ballot, resents that the ACLU forced the city into removing the cross from the city seal.
“What happens in this type of situation is that the ACLU threatens to sue, then the city capitulates on a cost basis, and the case is never decided on its legal merits,” he said. “The ACLU is telling us that it’s a foregone conclusion that we’re going to lose if a suit is filed. That’s just a ridiculous statement.”
Wow. They pay someone to track crosses!
Here’s the ballot initiative and city background.

What residents of Redlands should do is Identify all ACLU Lawyers in their city and boycott doing any business with them. Stave them out!
Actually, I think the majority of ACLU members should be shipped off to Zimbabwe.
They should vote for the measure and take the ACLU on!
They must hate our freedoms, you know like the so called government of this non nation.

ACLU = Anti-American Communist Liberals United
What the ACLU fails to realize is that the Constitution does not apply to any state or local government when it comes to the establishment of religion clause. It simply says that “Congress shall make no laws respecting the establishment of (a) religion or restricting the free exercise thereof.” It DOES NOT state that no government may show religious symbols. They really do need to revoke the ACLU’s ability to sue over this kind of nonsense and collect their legal fees from the defendant. That alone would cut down on the idiotic lawsuits.
And people wonder why it’s so important to appoint strict constructionists to the Supreme Court.
6-the Constitution does not apply to any state or local government when it comes to the establishment of religion clause. -FAO the SCOTUS can overturn a state law that is deemed unconstitutional under the COTUS. There are no exceptions. A State COTUS is law of the land if the law does not violate the COTUS.
