	Focus on the Family has sent out an ACTION ITEM to pass PERA, a law 
designed to make it much harder to sue and take other action against 
local and state governments engaging in religious discrimination. They 
want it gone, as has been detailed in many Cultural Warfare Update 
mailings. I recommend contacting your Senator(s) to ask that the lame 
duck Senate _not_ pass this bill.

Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., is urging his colleagues to allow a vote on 
the Public Expression of Religion Act (PERA) — a measure the House 
approved 244-173.

PERA would eliminate the awarding of attorneys' fees to groups that 
challenge religious displays on public property — many communities give 
in to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) after just a threat of 
litigation.

"This may be the best chance we have to pass another pro-family bill 
before Congress adjourns," she said. "It's crucial that senators hear 
from their constituents on this legislation right away."
