Just to be perfectly clear here. CBS is NOT canceling Touched By An Angel--for this or any other reason. Religious programming will continue, and there is no reason to contact the FCC or collect any signatures.click here for more info.
Here is the letter as it was sent to me.
RESPONSE TO CBS
Apparently we are to be allowed to watch TV programs that use every foul word in the English language, but not the word "God." It will only take a minute to read this and see if you think you should send it out.
DR. DOBSON'S PLEA FOR ACTION
CBS discontinued "Touched by an Angel" for using the word God in every program. Madeline Murray O'Hare, an atheist, successfully managed to eliminate the use of Bible reading from public schools a few years ago.
Now her organization has been granted a Federal Hearing on the same subject by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) inWashington,DC.
Their petition, Number 2493, would ultimately pave the way to Stop the reading of the gospel our Lord and Savior, on the airwaves ofAmerica.
They got 287,000 signatures to back their stand!
If this attempt is successful, all Sunday worship services being broadcast on the radio or by television will be stopped. This group is also campaigning to remove all Christmas programs and Christmas carols from public schools!!
You as a Christian (or any other religious background) can help! We are praying for at least 1 million signatures. This would defeat their effort and show that there are many Christians alive, well and concerned about our country. As Christians we must unite on this. Please don't take this lightly.
We ignored this lady once and lost prayer in our school and in offices across the nation.
Please stand up for your religious freedom and let your voice be heard. Together we can make a difference in our country while creating a way for the lost to know the Lord.
Please press "forward", and forward this to everyone that you think should read this. (Here is a tip... you can copy this e-mail
into a new e-mail, add your name and then send it to everyone you would like to send it to.)
Now, please sign your name at the bottom (you can only add your name after you have pressed the "Forward").
Don't delete any other names. Just go to the next number and type your name and state. Please do not sign jointly, such as Mr. & Mrs. Each Person should sign his/her own name. Please defeat this organization and keep The right of our freedom of religion.
When you get to 1500 please email back to:
