Dr. Dobson & CBS Response

Apparently we are to be allowed to watch TV
programs that use every foul word in the English language, but not the word 'God.' It will only take a minute to read this and see if you think you should send it out
DR. DOBSON'S PLEA FOR ACTION
CBS discontinued 'Touched by an Angel' for using the word God in every program. Madeline Murray O'Hare, an atheist, successfully managed to eliminate the use of Bible reading from public schools a few years ago.
Now her organization has been granted a federal hearing on the same subject by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Washington , DC.
Their petition, Number 2493, would ultimately pave the way to stop the reading of the gospel, our Lord and Savior, on the airwaves of America.
They got 287,000 signatures to back their stand! If this attempt is successful, all Sunday worship services being broadcast on the radio or by television will be stopped. This group is also campaigning to remove all Christmas programs and Christmas carols from public schools!
You as a Christian can help!
We are praying for at least 1 million signatures. This would defeat their effort and show that there are many Christians alive, well and concerned about our country. As
Christians we must unite on this. Please don't take this lightly.
We ignored this lady once and lost prayer in our school and in offices across the nation
Please stand up for your religious freedom and let your voice be heard. Together we can make a difference in our country while creating a way for the lost to know the Lord.
Please press 'forward', and forward this to
everyone that you think should read this.
Now, please sign your name at the bottom
(you can only add your name after you have pressed the 'Forward').
Don't delete any other names, just go to the next number and type your name and state. Please defeat this organization and keep the right of our freedom of religion.
REMEMBER: Our country was founded on freedom of religion and our Constitution is based on the 10 Commandments.
