Merry Christmas from the AFA of PA. Let’s never forget the real Reason for the season!
Action Alert – AFA of PA ‘Naughty or Nice List”
Christmas is right around the corner and companies depend upon this time of year to end their year in the black, so they want you to shop with them. They say “Merry Christmas” and have the sales to entice you into their store or onto their website. They want your business, but how do they feel about your values the rest of the year. To them Christmas is a time to make lots of money, ignoring the Reason for the Season and totally ignoring the moral standards upheld by the Reason for the Season – Jesus. Not only that, but Jesus expects his followers to uphold those standards.
Action Alert – Thank the First Lady
First Lady Melania Trump has done a great job designing the Christmas theme for the White House – from Merry Christmas in the official White House Christmas card to actually saying those words in the news release her office issued. The White House decorations even include a nativity scene. So . . . if the White House can display such an “unconstitutional” nativity scene, every government building in the US that does the same thing should not be badgered by the ACLU or the Freedom from Religion Foundation!

News Release -City Commended for Keeping Nativity Scene
The end of November, the City of Franklin received an email from a family in a neighboring town complaining about the Nativity display that had been present in the city’s Bandstand Park for as long as anyone could remember. To press the issue of a possible violation of the separation of church and state, the author of the email, who simply signed it “RM, SJ and family,” cc’d the Freedom From Religion Foundation, the Wisconsin based atheist group. The American Family Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA) is headquartered in Franklin and immediately began offering information to the mayor and city manager.
