National
Religious Freedom Preservation Petition
A
Petition for a Redress of Grievances Regarding
Judicial
Transgressions of Religious Liberty
We the undersigned do hereby petition you, our
elected representative in Congress for a redress of our grievances.
We, like our forefathers, recognize that
we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights and that among
them are the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Within this understanding, our freedom of religious speech and
activity are among the most precious of rights and must be secured at all
costs. In order to protect these rights from tyrannical government actions, our
nation's founding fathers wisely chose not to delegate any authority to the
federal government over religious matters. Furthermore, the First Amendment
specifically prohibits the federal government from making any laws in any way
respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise of
religion.
But as the Constitution has come to be increasingly ignored by
all branches of government, the federal courts have unlawfully infringed on the
rights of the states and the people and wrongfully demanded that their
decisions be respected as the supreme law of the land.
Unconstitutional court decisions have
prohibited Ten Commandments displays in local and state government buildings,
punished the recognition of God by state or local governments, banned the words
"under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance and banned prayer at local
schools. All these matters are outside of federal jurisdiction.
The lack of constitutional restraint on the courts and lack of
congressional checks upon their power have led the federal judiciary to be a
real and present danger to our religious freedom.
Therefore we, the people of
this nation and the States, demand that Congress, and
you as our representative, fulfill your constitutional duty and stop these
habitual transgressions of the supreme law of the land by limiting the
appellate jurisdiction of the federal courts in accordance with Article 3 of
the Constitution.
We demand that Congress pass legislation
that will prohibit the federal courts from taking cases that would in any way
regulate, restrict or prohibit religious speech or activity in the States.
We respectfully demand, as your
constituents and fellow citizens, that you sponsor or co-sponsor legislation
that will effect this immediately.
To sign this petition you
