A.C.L.U.  -  WHERE ARE YOU?
The ACLU has in the past shown that they want to interpret the U.S. Constitution.  One part in particular is the separation of Church and State. Because of that, there can be no Christian activities on state/government supported schools. There can be no renting of facilities for Christian activities as well as restrictions of the use and display of Christmas materials.
  O.K. A.C.L.U.  -  Where are you?  Many, many schools are bending over backward (forward) to make sure that Muslim children have times to pray.  They have set aside rooms and prayer mats for the purpose. This practice is being done despite the fact that a religion is being allowed in a public school system.  What the hell is the difference? Is a Muslim more important that a Christian? Are we afraid to offend? So what if they do not get to pray five times a day? Adapt! What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the camel.!  ACLU – get off your dead butts and fix this or stay out of the way!

You've worked your entire life and stayed on the right path. You work 40 to 50 hours a week at ten dollars an hour or less. You scrape for any overtime you can possibly find to pay the house payment, the water bill, the heat and electric, not to mention food, clothing and shoes. You work odd jobs on your off days to make ends meet but still you live paycheck to paycheck. You've always done the right thing because it's the right thing to do and you've taught your children to do the right thing, to stand up against those who would oppress the weak, you've always lived the "right way". After all, you're living the "American Dream" and all you want is a fair shake.

During your travels throughout life you run up against obstacles that can make you or break you and just when you thought you'd seen it all you fail to stop for a red light. Not just a red light, but a yellow arrow that turns red (1 second) before you enter the intersection and a picture is taken. A week or so goes by as you continue to scrape and make ends meet. After all, the economy of the country is a disaster, unemployment is at 17%, war is being waged on crime to make our homes a safer place to live and after a 12 hour day you get an envelope.

With the "Revitalization" project underway on Lancaster Boulevard, which is another story, the need for community services such as Animal Control and Law Enforcement is always first and foremost on everyone's mind.

Early last week we received a call and emails from concerned citizens who said that Lancaster City Hall had planned to cut those same services to the Lancaster Community to fund the Mayor's controversial "secret" "eye in the sky" or, "Sky Sentinel" program. Great intrigue, right? This information could be a disaster for a Mayor who claims to be such a staunch proponent of Law Enforcement, right? Well after carefully considering that the phone calls were anonymous, and anyone quite frankly can claim to be anyone else in an email, we still felt we would ask city hall what they thought.

Is Lancaster City Hall Out of Control?
