From Grassfire.....
4/28/2004
Ralph,
Yesterday, Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA) omitted the words
"under God" as he led the House in its daily recitation
of the Pledge of Allegiance.
The omission drew immediate criticism from a number of
members of the House, reports the Washington Times, including
Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) who said, "The liberal wing of the
Democratic Party launched yet another salvo today in its ongoing
battle to drive a wedge between Americans and the values and
ideals we hold dear."
+ + Emergency Action Item--Contact Rep. Mc Dermott
Grassfire is appalled that an elected official could so disrespect
our nation, and is calling on all 601,546 Americans who
have signed our Pledge petition to take immediate action by
contacting Rep. McDermott's office.
We want to flood his office with thousands of phone calls, and
faxes over these next several days, but we need your help!
Here's what you should say:
Tell him that you are part of Grassfire.org, and that you and
hundreds of thousands of Americans support the Pledge as one
nation under God.
Let him know that you find his behavior reprehensible, and
demand that he make a public apology for embarrassing the
House, and the nation!
Here's the contact information for Rep. Jim Mc Dermott:
Phone: 202-225-3106 (Washington D.C. office)
Fax: 202-225-6197
For his District Office, contact:
Phone: 206-553-7170 (Seattle, WA)
+ + Grassfire to Deliver "One Nation Under God" pins to
Rep. McDermott's office
As a follow up to the thousands of calls Grassfire team members
will be making, Grassfire will be traveling to Washington, D.C.
next week to hand deliver our exclusively designed "one nation
under God" lapels pins to every member of Rep. McDermott's
office!
We will encourage each to wear the pin proudly as a show of
support for our nation and the values and ideals we hold dear.
+ + Still time to order your very own pin!
With this most recent attack on our Pledge, Grassfire is urging all

very own "one nation under God" lapel pin--like the one we will
be giving to Rep. McDermott!
