Anti-Jesus Lawyer: "Punish Chaplains for Praying." Take action.
An atheist complainer threatening to sue Army Chaplains for praying just hired a lawyer.
Anti-Jesus attorney Mikey Weinstein, founder of the [Militant Religion Foes] Foundation, who recently sued me (and lost) to stop me from praying the Psalms to God (he failed), is now representing Atheist soldier Victoria Gettman.
Weinstein has reportedly demanded the Army punish a chaplain because he led a voluntary prayer at a suicide prevention class. [Earth to Mikey, the First Amendment protects the speaker, not your easily offended ears.]
Huffington Post reports "he and his litigation team intend to pursue an 'aggressive' federal lawsuit if the Army fails to rectify Gettman's complaints."
"Weinstein said the foundation's message to the Army is twofold: First, the Army should 'move with light speed' to review and remedy this case. Second, if the Army decides not to review Gettman's complaints, Weinstein said the Army should prepare to 'tell it to the judge.' [Nevermind that Weinstein has reportedly lost all 5 lawsuits he's filed.]
"Weinstein had previously contacted the Army to demand that the chaplain be disciplined for the mass prayer and that the Army provide a written apology to the soldiers."
The atheist complainer threatened to sue the U.S. Army to stop Chaplains from praying to the "Heavenly Father," even if they don't pray "in Jesus' name," reports Christian News.
"...Staff Sergeant Victoria Gettman is unpleased with the response that she has received from her superiors in regard to complaints that she had lodged over the prayer, which was delivered last September. Gettman and a number of other soldiers were attending a mandatory suicide prevention session, which concluded with a prayer. The prayer itself was voluntary as soldiers were not required to participate."

But the Army spokesman said nothing was wrong, because the Chaplain didn't pray 'in Jesus' name.'"The chaplain's prayer had no reference to any specific deity, and ended with the words, 'through Your holy name.'"
[Dr. Chaps' comment: The Army cannot forbid Chaplains from praying 'in Jesus' name' because the U.S. Supreme Court declared in 1991, Lee v. Weisman, that by censoring prayer content the government violates the First Amendment. If the atheists now threaten to sue even "generic" prayers, we might as well pray 'in Jesus' name' as is our legal right.] Who's willing to fax all 535 Congressmen and Senators, to defend chaplains and chapels?

Obama removes Christian Cross from Army Chapels. Take action!
To mollify atheist complainers, President Obama's bureaucrats overseeing the U.S. Army have ordered the removal of Christian crosses from chapel buildings overseas, reports Fox News. The new Army Regulation 165-1 reportedly requires "permanent or fixed chapel furnishings, such as the altar, pulpit, lectern, or communion rail will be devoid of distinctive religious symbols," and "the chapel environment will be religiously neutral when the facility is not being used for scheduled worship." Christian symbols have already been removed from at least one Army chapel on a base in Afghanistan (full story below).
Obama's Pentagon further enforces allowing 'gay' wedding ceremonies in military chapels in all 50 states, in clear violation of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act which defines federal marriage as only valid between one man and one woman. Such illegal same-sex 'wedding' ceremonies have already taken place in military chapels in Florida, Louisiana, and New Jersey, three states that forbid gay 'marriage,' as reported in detail below.
To answer Obama's defiance of DOMA, one U.S. Congressman is fighting back. Rep. Steven Palazzo (R-MS) introduced an amendment last year to H.R. 4310, on which The Hill reported: "Members of the House Armed Services committee voted to include the measure by Rep. Steve Palazzo (R-Miss.) into the panel's version of the fiscal 2013 defense authorization bill...The measure, which prevents 'marriage or marriage-like ceremonies' between same-sex couples from taking place at American military bases, was approved by a 37 to 24 vote along party lines."
Unfortunately this good chapel-protecting bill was blocked by Senate Democrats last fall, but could be re-introduced by Congress this spring, IF we petition all 535 Congressmen and Senators to take action.

Army removes Crosses from Chapel Buildings. Take action!
The hostility of the U.S. Army to Christian freedom continues, as atheist complainers have succeeded in forcing the removal of Christian crosses from a base chapel.
Fox News confirms: "The U.S. military ordered soldiers to remove a cross and a steeple from atop a chapel and to board up cross-shaped windows at a remote American forward operating base in Afghanistan.
"The removal of Christian symbols from the chapel at Forward Operating Base Orgun-E came after a solider complained - leading American Atheists president David Silverman to send a letter to the Pentagon.
[Army regulation bans Jesus? Watch Dr. Chaps 5 minute TV commentary on this story-->]
"Under this [Obama] Administration, the military has become a Christianity-free zone," said Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council. "As a veteran, there's an irony here. You put on the uniform to defend freedom - chief among them is freedom of religion. And yet, you are stripped of your own freedom to practice your faith."

2,000 Chaplains petition 26 Senators to protect freedom. Will you join them?
2,000+ Military Chaplains are petitioning these 26 Senators through their bishops, to protect religious freedom and stop sod omite desecration of military chapels, ADF reports.
"The Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty, an organization of chaplain endorsers, calls on the U.S. Congress to protect the conscience of our military personnel in the wake of the Senate's refusal so far to pass such protections.
"Earlier this year, in Section 536 of H.R. 4310, the House passed language protecting the rights of conscience of members of the armed forces, including chaplains. The House also passed language in Section 537 of H.R. 4310 that ensures military chapels are not used for any marriage or marriage-like ceremonies involving anything other than the union of one man and one woman. The Senate removed both of these sections when it passed its version of the National Defense Authorization Act.
"No American, especially those who wear the uniform, should be required to give up their religious values,” said Chaplain (COL) Ron Crews, USAR retired, executive director of the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty. 'Men and women who courageously serve in our armed forces should be able to serve without having to violate their consciences. Service members, including chaplains, who have sincerely held religious beliefs or moral convictions need to be able to serve without fear of recrimination against their values.'
"The National Defense Authorization Act is currently in conference committee.
"'Americans concerned about protecting the rights of conscience of our service members should contact their senators and encourage them to agree with the language passed by the House of Representatives,' Crews said."
[Dr. Chaps' comment: Friends, NOW is the time to call 202-225-3121 for all 26 members of the Senate Armed Services committee, and all 61 members of the House Armed Services Committee, who will hash out these major decisions during conference committee.]

Obama desecrates Military Chapels in all 50 states. Can 2 Senators stop him?
An amazing article by our friends at Last Resistance quotes me and asks the question I've been raising for a year now. Can Senate Republicans save military chaplains from court-martial, if they refuse to facilitate homose xual "marriage" ceremonies?
In response to YOUR faxes, two Senators Roger Wicker (R-MS) and my friend James Inhofe (R-OK) have just introduced new legislation in the Senate, as "The Military Religious Freedom Act." I met with Wicker's staff this summer, and they received my suggestion clearly, since the new bill mirrors the two good amendments already passed by the House, and protects both military chaplains AND chapels from desecration.
Sadly, more homose xual "weddings" are desecrating Christian chapels on military bases, for example in this story that features a Navy Chaplain who apparently desecrates a Christian chapel in New Jersey with a sod omite ceremony endorsing sin.(And then claims nobody is offended when Christian chapels are desecrated by acts of sod omy.)
This "wedding" in New Jersey is President Obama's latest assault on military Christians, after homose xual ceremonies have already desecrated chapels in Florida and Lousiana.
All three states ban homose xual "marriage" so why do reporters lie for Obama, claiming these ceremonies are only authorized in states where gay marriage is licensed?
This is proof that what I said is true, that Obama has forced homose xual "marriage" upon all 50 states. AP reports Obama's policy: "Under current policy, these ceremonies are allowed on bases where the marriage or civil union is legal under state law."
In other words, not only does Obama abrogate federal law, the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (which applies on federal land, i.e. military bases), but he also abrogates the state laws of New Jersey, Florida, and Lousiana, which clearly prohibit homose xual "marriage."
Let's stand with Senators Wicker and Inhofe, to demand all 100 Senators protect chapels.

First Lesbian 'Wedding' desecrates Military Chapel. Obama violates state law.
President Obama trampled on Louisiana state law, and desecrated the Christian chapel on a military post at Fort Polk, Louisiana, by authorizing the first homose xual 'wedding' ceremony by a lesbian couple in a military chapel. Flaunting his federal power over Louisiana (whose law clearly defines Marriage = 1 Man + 1 Woman), and ignoring the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, Obama's Pentagon lawyer Jeh Johnson issued a memo this year forcing all military chapels in all 50 states to be open for 'gay' weddings.
Now we learn that three weeks ago, a lesbian couple was secretly 'married' upon, and desecrated the Christian altar in the base chapel with sod omy, marking the first reported homosexual wedding in a military chapel ever. A pro-homose xual chaplain presided at the 'marriage-like religious ceremony' of two lesbian soldiers, but did not issue a license, making the union illegal in the eyes of both Lousiana law, and the laws of Almighty God.
Congressman John Fleming, M.D. (R-LA) told CNSNews.com on Wednesday that "the U.S. Army had confirmed to him that the chaplain had performed the ceremony less than a month ago in the base chapel at Fort Polk, which is in Fleming's district."
"It is my understanding that this is the first ceremony of its type on an American military base and that is, as it's reported, it was a wedding ceremony between two members of the same gender who are uniformed members of the Army," Fleming said.
Former Congressman Todd Akin (R-MO), said last year this confirms the need for the Senate to pass two good pro-chaplain amendments protecting chapels and chaplains free speech: "It is very concerning that a same-sex ceremony would occur on a military base in a state where the definition of marriage has been clearly defined as between one man and one woman," Akin said. "This action is clearly in contravention of state law, and also violates the Defense Department policies issued last fall. This appears to be a case where political agenda has trumped the rule of law, which is absolutely unacceptable. This confirms the importance of the language that my colleagues and I worked to include in the House-passed National Defense Authorization Act for 2013, which would protect chaplains and servicemembers from this liberal agenda. The same individuals who will violate the law to advance their agenda will persecute those around them who disagree with their views."
"Congressman Akin has led the efforts to protect traditional marriage on military bases. In 2011, Congressman Akin offered an amendment to H.R. 1540 which was stripped by the Senate. In May 2012, Akin offered an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act for 2013 which would protect servicemembers and chaplains from recriminations based on their concerns regarding same-sex marriage."
[Dr. Chaps' comment: Folks, I have been repeatedly saying for months, what nobody believed was true, that military chapels both Catholic and Protestant will be desecrated in all 50 states by acts of sod omy on the Christian altar, robbing all our troops of their right to a sacred worship space. Any chaplain who objects will be punished, and the keys to his chapel must be turned over to homose xual activists. Does anybody doubt that my warning has now come true?]
We must take action to protect our chapels. Please sign our petition to all 100 Senators.
