Dear First Amendment Supporters,

We'll have two movers and shakers to inform us about a very important case that's been filed in Oklahoma County Court.

One of the guest speakers will be Brady Henderson, legal director of the ACLU of Oklahoma. Mr Henderson will give us some of the reasons the affiliate filed a recent petition to remove the Ten Commandments Monument currently on the northeast corner of the Capitol building.

Oklahoma AU Statement of Purpose

Americans United for Separation of Church and State proudly supports and defends the right of citizens to choose and live according to their own convictions, whether religious or non-religious. It traces that basic freedom to a tradition founded by Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Roger Williams, and enshrined in the First Amendment. It venerates the principle that religion is too important to be entrusted to government and encourages pluralism, tolerance, and a public life in which we the people interact on the basis of equal worth and mutual respect. Thus, Americans United considers separation of church and state a positive force in American society, a principle that encourages full participation among all people, burdens no one for following their conscience, and has encouraged a flowering of religious variety and vitality unequaled in today's world.
