Merry Christmas
Posted by Randy | December 23, 2009

Across the United States, there has been a growing effort to reinterpret American history at the expense of our religious heritage. Perhaps one of the strongest times we notice this effort is during the Christmas season. Each year, the push to celebrate a "politically correct" Christmas season grows stronger. The politically correct Christmas season does not allow nativity scenes to be displayed, discourages “Merry Christmas” to be used as a greeting, suggests that trees be advertised as "Holiday" trees, and prohibits the word Christmas on signs and billboards.

 

But Americans have a right to celebrate the national holiday in accordance to their faith. As such, I've cosponsored a bill, H.RES.951, that recognizes the historical significance of Christmas symbols and traditions and expresses support for the use of these symbols and traditions by those who celebrate this holiday. The resolution also expresses disapproval of all attempts to ban or limit references to Christmas.

 

This Christmas, I hope you and your family are able to freely enjoy your own traditions as you celebrate this national holiday. Merry Christmas.

    Amen to you Randy for having the guts to bring up this subject. It sickens me to see what this country has come to be in the name of being politically correct. Most pushing this movement don't know and don't want to know the real history of our country. I commend you for your bill and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

    Thank you for all you do Randy as our representative. You are a true representative of your constituents. You listen to us and keep us well informed. We never have to guess where you stand on the issues or how you vote. You are completely open and honest and those traits are hard to find, especially in Congress. Biblical history portrays what happens to a nation that turns its back on God and prostitues itself to other nations. If the current trend in this country of moral decline, godlessness and indebtness to foreign nations continues God's judgement is inevitable. My prayer is that God will raise up strong, moral leaders, such as yourself, that will put the interests of our country before their own political ambitions. Keep up the good work and let us know how we can help.
