The zealots over at "Save Our Seal" send the following missive with the Supreme's ruling:

The 2nd Supreme Court decision today, dealing with the religious symbols on public property is a plus for our cause. The Texas case dealt with a symbol having historical significance and is part of a group, it was found constitutional.

Unfortunately, the opposition will only distort and dismiss the ruling as it relates to our cause. That is why we must be successful in getting our LA County Seal on the ballot. Once it is challenged, we can begin our trip to the US Supreme Court and eliminate the gray area.

At the present time we have 13,000 personally addressed letters with petitions in envelopes at the bulk mailing house. Volunteers have been working very had getting ready for the first mailing. Our goal was to get them in the hands of prior petition supporters by the fourth of July weekend.

Now it is up to you. We are not in a position to pay the $3,400.00 to complete the mailing... Our drive will continue with or without the mailing, but if you want these petitions in the hands of your fellow supporters by the 4th, than you must act now!

You can go to the Web site http://savetheseal.net/donate.html and contribute online via paypal, or mail a check to Committee to Support the LA County Seal P.O. Box 1958, North Hollywood, California 91609 or call me and I will have the check picked up.

We now have collected over 16,000 signatures and have distributed more than 16,000 petitions and have printed 31,000.

If it is to be, its up to thee.
