Someone was handing out the following letter at work.
Does anyone know anything about this? Is this letter
outdated? I thought that Madalyn Murray O'Hair was
still missing.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Madelyn Murray O'Hare [sic], the celebrated Atheist,
whose efforts successfully eliminated the use of the
Bible reading and prayer from All public schools
fifteen years ago [What was the date?] has been granted
a federal hearing in Washington, D.C. on the subject of
the petition, R.R. 2493, which would in effect pave the
way to make reading of any gospel (religious material)
on the air-ways of american radio or television
[illegal]. She has taken a petition with 27,000
signatures to support her efforts.
If HER attempt is succesful [sic], all Sunday worship
services being broadcast either by Radio or Television,
will STOP. Many of America's, as well as the rest of
the World's elderly and shut-ins, as well as those whom
are restricted by hospitilization and recouparation
[sic] from illnesses, who depend on the media of
television and radio to fullfill [sic] their worship
needs every week [?].
Madelyn is also campaigning to remove all Christmas and
Jewish Programs, songs, and carols from public schools.
This time you can HELP! We need 1,000,000 signed
letters to defeat Mrs. O'Hare's efforts and show that
there [are] many God worshipping Americans alive and
well, and concerned about our country. Madelyn is also
trying to remove the statement "IN GOD WE TRUST" from
all the currency in this country.
