Petition to Lodi California Mayor to Please Allow Prayers "in Jesus Name"

June 21, 2009 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

VICTORY FOR JESUS PRAYERS!  Lodi CA votes 5-0 to defeat atheist complainers

But the atheists are now threatening to sue the city.  We pledged $10~000 to help the city’s legal defense~ but we’ve only raised $4~000 toward this goal~ so we still need $6~000 in donations to help Lodi defend Jesus prayers.  Can you please donate to help defend religious liberty in court? 

Then please email and telephone all 5 city council members to say THANK YOU~ here:
http://www.lodi.gov/city-council/Representatives.html 

Please watch our videos below~ and please pray about donating to defend Jesus’ name~ right now!

AND PLEASE ADD YOUR "AMEN" TO THE PETITION FAR BELOW….

A PRAYER TO ALMIGHTY GOD~
and
A PETITION TO MAYOR OF LODI~ CALIFORNIA~ LARRY D. HANSEN~
and COUNCILMEMBERS MOUNCE~ HITCHCOCK~ JOHNSON~ KATZAKIAN:

Dear Mayor and Councilmembers:

We the undersigned~ respectfully petition you to defend religious freedom by allowing visiting pastors 

of all diverse faiths and denominations~ to pray aloud publicly according to the dictates of their own conscience~

at or before city council meetings~ even if they dare to pray aloud publicly "in Jesus name" or invoke their own specific deity. 

Please do not cave-in to atheist intimidation by the enemies of religious liberty~ including

Americans United and the Freedom From Religion Foundation~ who are threatening to sue to silence all prayers.

Please conform your decision to First Amendment precedent which allows Jesus prayers among other rotating diverse prayers~

as already decided in the 7th Circuit (Hinrichs v. Bosma) and 11th Circuit (Pelphrey v. Cobb County)

and by the Supreme Court of the United States in two decisions: Marsh v. Chambers and Lee v. Weisman.

Jesus is not an illegal word~ the Bible is not a banned book~ and evangelistic speech is not a crime. 

Please simply adopt a policy similar to Tulsa City Council~ and declare the prayers are private speech~ not government speech~

or allow the prayers to be said aloud during optionally attended time~ just before the first government business is gaveled to order.

Please allow pro-bono Christian lawyers~ from the Alliance Defense Fund or others~ to defend your pro-Jesus prayer policy in court.

We pray to God you will stand with us by taking a courageous stand for liberty~ in Jesus’ name.  Amen."

Add your "Amen" by signing below~ and WE WILL POST YOUR COMMENTS to the Mayor and Councilmembers
of Lodi~ California who face threat of lawsuit by AU and FFRF to censor "Jesus" from public prayers.
