Govt Attacks Free Speech (Yet Again)

Federal Reserve Oversteps Authority
When Oklahoma Federal Reserve Bank Examiners ordered Payne County Bank officials to take-down all religious items (Christmas decorations) from public view on Friday, they were in effect, CENSORING free speech. Just because the examiners didn't like the religious overtone of the bank decorations, didn't give them ANY authority to order the removal of those items. That act was a direct assault on a religious freedom here in America. It was performed by representatives of the Federal Reserve Bank. The bank examiner claimed that "the religious items could discourage a person from seeking an application." Just the idea that they thought they could tell the ban what to do is appalling. If I don't like the Christmas decorations on YOUR house, I cannot order you to take them down. This is America - Remember? This country was founded on Judaeo-Christian beliefs.

Items Banned
The Federal Reserve banned the following:

• Signs
• Biblical verses
• Religious crosses
• Christmas pins
• Web Site Links
• "Religious themed messages" including personal jewelry

The bank was threatened "that failure to comply would result in referral of the matter to the Department of Justice for further enforcement actions." Quick, look over your shoulder for the Gestapo (Eric Holder)!

Representatives Object
Both Senator James Inhofe (R, OK) and Representative Frank Lucas (R, OK) wrote Ben Bernanke a letter stating: "This is an all out assault on the faith, values, and rights of the bank, its employees and the people of Perkins they serve." God bless these two representatives for defending their constituents!

How Dare the Fed!
If the Oklahoma representatives had said nothing, the bank would have complied to the government MISUSE of power. Instead, the government backed-down and withdrew their demands from the bank after hearing the opposition to their blatant abuse of power.

It must be clear that Progressives have infiltrated all parts of our government (including the Federal Reserve Bank) and that they are imposing "THEIR" views on OUR lives from every angle possible. This is what Political Correctness is all about.

We MUST stop them every time they try this. If we don't our freedoms will be lost.

KEEP UP THE FIGHT America it is relentless!

and...

Merry Christmas!
