Dear Friends of Help Save America,

The ACLU has filed a lawsuit against Chief Justice Roy Moore of Alabama because of the Ten Commandments monument he authorized to be installed by private donations in the rotunda of the Alabama Supreme Court. I believe that the Judge Moore case for the Ten Commandments is the most crucial lawsuit in the United States today. The Chief Justice who knows the law, is in charge of the entire state, who is charged to interrupt the law made a perfectly legal decision to display the Ten Commandments among other historical documents on this one monument. Unequivically, the public acknowledgement of God is legal, is historical to America, and is the basis of all our law. If the ACLU does not lose this case against the Ten Commandments then I fear that God will allow His blessing to be removed from America. This case is unique in history and the moment of no return for America.

The Ten Commandments Defense Fund needs your help. I get nothing from this except the hope that the Ten Commandments will win and America's freedom will be preserved for my children, my grandchildren, and your children and your grandchildren and all our posterity and our freedoms which have made America great. We must be legally allowed to display God's Ten Commandments and to acknowledge God publically. This would not be a state church, merely public acknowledgement of God, the Author of Liberty, the Author of our Laws and the laws of all mankind.

Please read all about the Ten Commandments case here and if you feel God leading you to help in this case please know that all funds go directly to the Ten Commandments Defense Fund for the expenses in fighting this case.

The Marble Monument, weighing 5,280 pounds, in the Rotunda of the Alabama Supreme Court pictured here has historical quotes on all four sides and excerpts from God's Ten Commandments on the top. It was placed there at the order of Chief Justice Roy Moore and all construction costs were donated. As would be expected by a legal group who seem to have functioned for some fifty years as an enemy of God and our beloved country the ACLU (functioning as some call them the Anti-Christian Ligitation Uglies) has filed a lawsuit to have this beautiful monument removed and declared unconstitutional. They do not seem to pursue anything American, nor Civil, nor Legal according to our Founders, nor do they appear to be United in anything except the destruction of what made America great, our foundation on God. After you have read about this monument you may want to make a contribution to the Ten Commandments Defense fund.

The monument depicts the moral foundation of law in America, and bears excerpts from the text of the "Ten Commandments" of God. The monument also bears quotes from: the Declaration of Independence ("Laws of Nature and of Nature's God"); our National Motto ("In God We Trust"); the Pledge of Allegiance ("One Nation Under God, Indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for
All"); and the Judiciary Act of 1789 ("So Help Me God").

TOP PANEL

"Ten Commandments" excerpts

FRONT PANEL

The inclusion of God in our pledge therefore would further acknowledge the dependence of our people and our government upon the moral directions of the Creator. —Legislative History

One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. —Pledge of Allegiance, 1954

Human law must rest its authority ultimately upon the authority of that law which is divine. —James Wilson

And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? —Thomas Jefferson (

LEFT SIDE PANEL

Let it simply be asked, where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice? —George Washington

So help me God. —Judiciary Act of 1789

The greater part of evidence will always consist of the testimony of witnesses. This testimony is given under those solemn obligations which an appeal to the God of Truth impose; and if oaths should cease to be held sacred, our dearest and most valuable rights would become insecure. —John Jay

BACK PANEL

We, the people of the State of Alabama, in order to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, invoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God, do ordain and establish the following constitution and form of government for the State of Alabama. —Constitution of Alabama

In God we trust. —National Motto 1956

O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
between their lov'd home and the war's desolation!
Blest with vict'ry and peace may the heav'n rescued land
praise the power that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto — "In God Is Our Trust,"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. —National Anthem

RIGHT SIDE PANEL

The laws of nature are the laws of God; whose authority can be superseded by no power on earth. —George Mason 1772

Laws of nature and of nature's God —Declaration of Independence 1776

The transcendent law of nature and of nature's God, which declares that the safety and happiness of society are the objects at which all political institutions aim, and to which all such institutions must be sacrificed.
—James Madison

This law of nature, being co-eval with mankind and dictated by God Himself, is of course superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times: no human laws are of any validity, if contrary to this; …upon these two foundations, the law of nature and the law of revelation, depend all human laws; that is to say, no human laws
should be suffered to contradict these. —William Blackstone

Who were these people whose words were selected to be on this great monument in the Alabama Supreme Court?

1. Who was James Wilson? (1742-1798) Wilson was appointed as Supreme Court Justice by President George Washington in 1789, held the distinction of being one of six Founding Fathers to sign both the Declaration of Independence and
the Constitution He spoke 168 times at the Constitutional Convention. In 1790 James Wilson was the first law professor of the Univ. of Pennsylvania. With his fresh recollections of both constitutions, in his Course of Lectures (3rd vol. of his Works, 122, he stated that...Christianity is part of the common law. From W.J. Federer's America's God and Country Encyclopedia of
Quotations, 1994.

2. Who was Thomas Jefferson? (1742-1826) Jefferson was author, architect, educator, scientist, 3rd President of the USA. In 1774, while serving in the Virginia Assembly, he personally introduced a resolution calling for a Day of Fasting and Prayer. He proposed that our national seal be the children of Israel in the wilderness, led by a cloud by day, and a pillar of fire by
night. 1779-1781 he was Gov. of Virginia and decreed a day of: "Public and solemn thanksgiving and prayer to Almighty God." In 1798 Jefferson wrote "No power over the freedom of religion...is delegated to the United States by the Constitution." IN 1800 he wrote, "I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." IN 1820 Jefferson wrote, "I hold the precepts of Jesus as delivered by Himself, to be the most pure, benevolent and sublime which have ever been preached to man..." He was author of the Statutes fro Religious Freedom in Virginia, father of the University of Virginia, and author of our 1776 Declaration of Independence. Visit the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, and read many
of his writings on the marble walls.

3. Who was George Washington? (1732-1799) Washington was the 1st President of the United States, Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, considered the Father of our Country, also a surveyor, a planter, a soldier, a statesman, chairman of the Constitutional Convention, an active Episcopalian, considered the most popular man in the Colonies, First in War, First in Peace, First in the hearts of his countrymen. Most of his education was through home schooling and tutoring. Among many of Washington's quotes are: "It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible." "Let your recreations be manful not sinful." "Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience." "The General most earnestly requires and expects a due observance of those articles of war established for the government of the Army which forbid profane cursing, swearing and drunkenness. And in like manner he requires and expects of all officers and soldiers not engaged in actual duty, a punctual attendance of Divine services, to implore the blessing of Heaven upon the means used for our safety and defense." "If I could have entertained the slightest apprehension that the Constitution framed by the Convention, where I had the honor to preside, might possibly endanger the religious rights of any ecclesiastical Society, certainly I would never have placed my signature to it... I beg you will be persuaded that no one would be more zealous than myself to establish effectual barriers against...every species of religious persecution." In his farewell address Washington said, "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great Pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Men and Citizens."

4. Who was John Jay? (1745-1829) J. Jay was the first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, appointed by George Washington. He was a Founding Father, a member of the First and Second Continental Congresses and served as President of the Continental Congress. Along with James Madison and Alexander Hamilton he was very instrumental in causing our Constitution to be ratified by writing parts of the Federalist Papers. He helped write the Constitution of New York, was Governor of New York from 1795-1801. John Jay along with John Adams and Benjamin Franklin, negotiated the peace treaty to end the War with England. IN 1816 Jay declared, "Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers." Jay was president of the Westchester Bible Society in 1818 and in 1824 was president of the American Bible Society. He said, "By conveying the Bible to people...we do them a most interesting kindness. We enable them to learn that man was originally created and placed in a state of happiness, but becoming disobedient, was subjected to the degradation and evils which he and his posterity have since experienced. The Bible will inform them that our gracious Creator has provided for us a Redeemer, in whom all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; that this Redeemer has made atonement for the sins of the whole world, and thus reconciling the Divine justice with the Divine mercy has opened a way for our redemption and salvation; and that these inestimable benefits are of the free gift and grace of God, not of our deserving, nor in our power to deserve."

5. Who was George Mason? (1725-1792) Mason was a famous American Revolutionary statesman and delegate from Virginia to the Constitutional Convention. He is called the "Father of the Bill of Rights" as he insisted that Congress add these first ten amendments to the Constitution which limited the power of the government. George Mason stated before the General Court of Virginia: "The laws of nature are the laws of God, whose authority can be superseded by no power on earth." This phrase was later incorporated into the Declaration of Independence as, "the laws of nature and nature's God." In 1787 Mason stated his views on national accountability during the debates of the Constitutional Convention: "Every master of slaves is born a
petty tyrant. They bring the judgement of heaven upon a country. As nations cannot be rewarded or punished in the next world, they must be in this. By an inevitable chain of causes and effects, Providence punishes national sins, by national calamities."

6. Who was James Madison? (1751-1836) Madison is known as the "Chief Architect of the Constitution", was our 4th President of the United States from 1809 to 1817. He spoke 161 times at the Constitutional Convention, wrote the most detailed and accurate records of the debates in the Constitutional Convention. Madison wrote 29 of the 85 Federalist Papers, which argued for the ratification of the Constitution. As a member of our first US Congress, he introduced the Bill of Rights, which addressed
religious freedom as the first item. As a child he was home schooled. In 1785 Madison wrote: "Religion is the basis and foundation of Government." "It is the duty of every man to render to the Creator such homage.. Before any man can be considered as a member of Civil Society, he must be considered as a subject of the Governor of the Universe." In 1778 Madison wrote on the future of America: "We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government; upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten
Commandments of God."

7. Who was William Blackstone? (1723-1780) Blackstone, a renowned English jurist wrote Commentaries on the Laws of England which by 1775 had sold more copies in American than in England. His commentaries set the foundation for the great legal minds such as Chief Justice John Marshall and others in America. In examining 15,000 items in articles, books, monographs, pamphlets and newspaper articles written by our Founding Fathers the scholars found that Sir William Blackstone was quoted more than any other author except one. Why did our Forefathers use the term the law of nature and what did they mean by it? Read a quote of Blackstone: "Man, considered as a creature, must necessarily be subject to the laws of his Creator, for he is entirely a dependent being...And, consequently, as man depends absolutely upon his Maker for everything, it is necessary that he should in all point conform to his Maker's will... this will of his Maker is called the law of nature. These laws laid down by God are the eternal immutable laws of good and evil...This law of nature dictated by God himself, is of course superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times: no human laws are of any validity if contrary to this....Blasphemy against the Almighty is denying his being or providence, or uttering contumelious reproaches on our Savior Christ. It is punished, at common law by fine and imprisonment, for Christianity is part of the laws of the land. If the legislature will positively enact a thing to be done, the judges are not at liberty to reject it, for that were to set the judicial power above
that of the legislature, which would be subversive of all government...Wherefore, all affronts to Christianity, or endeavors to
depreciate its efficacy, in those who; have once professed it, are highly deserving of censure."
