No Angels

That’s right, no angels on Christmas trees says the United States Federal Government, matter of fact, no Christmas trees…

Federal law prohibits one from displaying any religious words or items associated with Christmas. If that is not enough, try this; one cannot even say the word Christmas at a Christmas party, one must use the word holiday instead

This is not the Nazi Gestapo, the Soviet Kremlin, or an Islamic Caliphate; or is it?

The [PCLC} Plant City Living Center in Plant City Florida has told Mrs. Arnold, an 85-year-old grandmother, that federal law prohibits her from displaying any religious words or items associated with Christmas in the common area of her apartment building.

According to the Center, the Director of HUD Fair Housing regulatory dept. Sonja Horn from The Department of Housing and Urban Development issued a directive banning "any religious symbols or religious words associated with Christmas.” Under the guidelines issued by HUD, the elderly grandmother cannot place a small Christmas tree outside her door if it contains any religious symbols or religious words, even an angel!

If the residents want to have a Christmas party in their Community room, they cannot call it a Christmas party. The Center says HUD directs residents not to use the word "Christmas" but to use the word "Holiday."

A Sunday school class from a church near Mrs. Arnold's apartment comes every year to host a Hanging of the Greens and ”Christmas Party” for all the residents. She said the highlight of their “Christmas Party” comes at the very end of The Hanging of the Greens when someone places the angel on top of their Christmas tree. The United States federal government now bans their religious tradition. As well as the “Christmas Party” but will allow a “Holiday Party”.

The federal government is becoming increasingly active in banning Christianity from the public square. [Prohibiting the free exercise thereof] Earlier, the National Park Service removed the wording "Laus Deo" (Latin for "Praise be to God") from a replica of the cap of the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C. and the Veterans Administration banned the script of the flag-folding ceremony mentioning "Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob," and "Father, Son and Holy Ghost" at over 100 national cemeteries. Both of these rules were rescinded after U.S. citizens inundated the Fed with letters, phone calls and e-mails. I discovered today with a phone call to the Property Manager at PCLC that because of the public outrage this regulation too, has been rescinded.

We have Ramadan in the white house and EID on our U.S. Christmas…excuse me [holiday] Stamps but we cannot say the word Christmas or have angels on our Christmas…excuse me [holiday] tree.

I suppose I must once again remind the United States Federal Government of Federal “Constitutional Law”

Preamble
“To the conventions of the several states, having at the time of their adopting the constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its power, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added:. And as extending the ground of public confidence in the government, will best insure the benefit ends of its institution. (Emphasis mine)

Article 1
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech….”

How many violations of the United States Federal Constitution do you see??? Do you see an abuse of power by any chance??? Or maybe the prohibition of the free exercise of religion??? Or possibly abridging the freedom of speech??? How about making a law or a rule respecting the establishment of religion???

It does not take a Philadelphia lawyer to see that at the very least; the Federal Government is abusing its power, moreover, could even be on several counts, violating the supreme law of the land, The United States Constitution.

If this isn’t bad enough, could it be that the United States Federal Government is in the process of Establishing Islam as the National Religion??? Ramadan and EID in the White house…? Imams praying to Allah before a session.of Congress? Say it isn’t so… I am sorry, it is so, and all while Christmas is not allowed in our White House.

We must not be silent; the fact that these outrages violations of our rights have been overturned is because of the response of the people. This shows that the system is still working. However, it works only if we participate, if we remain silent we, will be silenced.

Remain Vigilant…de Andréa
