Someone wrote into the local letters to the editor encouraging people to write to Congress to encourage them to hold hearings against the ACLU because the only thing the ACLU does is try to remove God and prayer from schools.
You just KNOW I'm not gonna let that pass.
The email I just sent:
I am writing with regard to [John Doe]'s letter about the ACLU. Contrary to Mr. [Doe]'s claims, the ACLU actually exists to help protect the Bill of Rights, as stated on their website: http://www.aclu.org/about/index.html.
I confess to being curious as to why Mr. [Doe] thinks that Congress should hold hearings against an organization that seeks to help preserve our country's Constitution. Does he not like having a right to due process, privacy, equal protection under the law, or freedom of speech? If so, isn't it rather ironic that he chose to say so in a letter to the editor of his local newspaper?
Sincerely,
