Proudly, I am Jewish. By, birth, heritage, by practice. That does not mean that I oppose others right to pray as they wish. That is what created America, the right to pray and believe as we wish.
In Lodi, I guess, those folks have not heard of the First Amendment. I enjoy hearing a Rabbi pray before a public forum such as a city council or school board meeting. I am not offended by a Pastor ending a prayer, “In Jesus Names”. In fact I am offended when a Minister does NOT say that at the end of a prayer–as if he or she is not proud of their religious beliefs or embarrassed by them. Or maybe they come from the Jeremiah Wright school of religion.
I urge everyone, Jew and Christian, to attend this rally for religious freedom. First it will be the ending that is banned, next it will be the beginning–no prayer at all.
We are a nation founded on religious faith, we can not allow the ACLU or their followers to negate the First Amendment.
August 5 at 6:00pm there will be a “Prayer Rally for Jesus” in Lodi at the city hall steps
Stand Up, Speak Up, Show Up.
