Subject: Christian Radio Stopped From
Broadcasting
URGENT MESSAGE FROM DR. JAMES DOBSON - Please Read and Respond!!
July - 2003
An organization has been granted a Federal Hearing on the same subject by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in Washington, DC. Their petition,
Number 2493, would ultimately pave the way to stop the reading of the gospel of
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 an opportunity for the lost to know the Lord.
Please press "forward," CLEAN UP THE MESSAGE, and forward this to
everyone you think should read this.
Now, please sign your name at the bottom (you can only add your name after you
have pressed "Forward"). Don't delete any other names, just go to the
next number and type your name. Please do not sign jointly, such as Mr. &
Mrs. Each person should sign his/her own name.
Please defeat this organization and keep the right of our freedom of religion.
When you get to 1000 please email back to: "Lisa Norman"
