Oconee Strikes Out
It was a snowball right over the plate. It could have been on a tee it was so easy to hit.
But the Oconee County Council lost its nerve and struck out without a swing.
The bottom line was the bottom line, we are told. Even though the county Ministerial Association had agreed to pay the ACLU's legal fees if the county lost, and even though Alliance Defense Fund had offerred to defend the county for free, the ACLU's financial threats frightened the Oconee County Council into scrapping its traditional invocation and adopting a new "moment of silence" policy. The watertight but simple sign-up sheet for prayer policy ADF devised was left on the cutting room floor.
We have work to do.
Stay tuned.

Community Defense Act of 2005
Community Defense Act of 2005
The Community Defense Act, passed last year in Ohio, is a solid model for addressing Sexually Oriented Businesses on a statewide, rather than a local basis. Palmetto Family Council is working with legislators now to file South Carolina legislation.
