The ACLU only act for their client's complaints.
Those wishing to do away with the founding Father's Religion are the non-Christians.
Since day one they've tried to discredit Christianity by insurgent methods while stirring trouble in the mid-east and other parts of the world and being funded by us while doing it.

This email has been going around the internet since 2005.

This Christian believes this is ridiculous. You've totally missed Christ's message of ministry.

The Founding Fathers, if you read your history, wanted to make sure we did not have a national religion. They believed people could worship the way they wanted to (except for the Indians which they slaughtered and forced thse that remained to convert to Christianity--not great examples of Christianity).

If you think sending a Christmas card to the ACLU will make Jesus proud of you this holiday season, by all means go ahead. But I see him shaking his head saying, "they just don't get it. When will my children hear MY message?" When you die and he asks you what did you do in HIS name, are you really going to say, "Well, you know, I sent the ACLU a Christmas card one year." He is going to want to hear how many of the sick you ministered to, how many people you fed, how many people you clothed, and he was not talking about just giving money to charity either.

"Feeling" about God is one thing; acting as Christ would act is another. A disciple of Christ tries to walk the path of Christ. Most "Christmas" rituals are taken from pagan traditions. I doubt Christ would even be sending out Christmas cards. He would be in the hospitals, downtown with the homeless, etc.

PB Mom, as far as I am concerned...Annoying the ACLU and being "Christian" are 2 different things!!!

While it may be fun to annoy the ACLU, I don't think it's worth the price of the card and the stamp to do so. I'd rather forward all my Nigerian email scams to their email and clog it up.

The ACLU is an organization whose time has come and gone. Way gone.

Okay, since nobody is going to go to Snopes, let me write what they said about this Urban Legend.

Origins: This piece first began circulating at the tail end of 2005, during the so-called "War on Christmas" controversy over (among other things) some businesses' eschewing use of the phrase "Merry Christmas" in favor of "Happy Holidays" (or some other non-Christmas-specific wording). It surfaced again in August 2006, well ahead of that year's holiday season.

As a call to action, the scheme this article proposes (i.e., flooding the ACLU with Christmas cards) has several serious flaws: It is based on the erroneous assumption that the ACLU engaged in litigation and related tactics to pressure businesses and other entities into dropping the use of the word "Christmas" in favor of non-religious references during the holiday season. This was not the case. Some manufacturers and retailers opted in 2005 (and earlier years) to use religiously-neutral wording in describing their goods and services during the holiday season that runs from November to January, but they did so because they felt such a move would appeal to a broader customer base, not because they were urged or pressured into doing so by the ACLU.
The ACLU headquarters on Broad Street in New York is quite well-staffed, and they could easily divert resources to temporary Christmas-card opening duty in the mailroom for a few weeks without "freezing their operations" in the process.
Private, unsolicited contributions sent by U.S. Mail constitute a relatively small portion of the ACLU's operating budget, and most

P.S.
If you do your homework you'll find a lot of people at the ACLU actually celebrate Christmas. But don't let self-righteousness get in the way of the truth. Now flame away!
