Legal Issues Index

It seems we now live in a society where everything requires litigation. Children are no longer allowed to voice their opinions in a public forum regarding the belief in God, or question the authority of such matters as evolution. Now more than any time before in history our way of life is being challenged almost daily. Currently we are supporting efforts of three law firms that primarily work for Civil Liberties of all people, not just a few. These groups often find themselves in court against the originator of this concept, the American Civil Liberties Union or the ACLU.

We receive regular updates on legal issues in our country from these three groups. Please check often to see what is new.
