...A Christian activist who teaches computer classes for kindergarten
through fifth grade in a New Jersey public school is trying to get students
in the habit of taking their Bibles to school all year long.  Bob Pawson,
national coordinator for the Scriptures in School (SIS) Project,
http://www.bringyourbible.com/
believes America's Judeo-Christian heritage has been "ignored, suppressed,
and even deliberately distorted" too long.

The goals of the SIS Project, he says, are to return the Bible to America's
public school classrooms and to restore biblical literacy to the nation's
children.  According to Pawson, it is perfectly legal for Christian students
to "casually, repeatedly, and frequently" inject biblical knowledge into the
schools through a process he calls "academic evangelism."

He says students can present the truth of the gospel in academics by
creatively using biblical references in assignments such as book reports,
oral readings, spelling list sentences, dramatic presentations, and essays.
Biblical concepts can also be inserted into everyday school life through
low-key ways such as book covers, apparel, and jewelry.  Such methods of
evangelism, he says, are legal and non-disruptive to the school climate.

Pawson's group has just announced that the week of September 21-27 will be
the 6th annual nationwide "Scriptures in Schools Week."  He encourages
Christian students, teachers, and support staff to bring their Bibles to
schools that week - or as he puts it:  "Tote 'em and quote 'em!"  SIS Week,
he says, complements other national student-centered events in September
such as "See You At The Pole" and "Challenge Sunday - Adopt a School for
Christ."

(2) Protect Homeschoolers via Fed HR2732

On July 15, 2003, H.R. 2732, the Homeschool Non-Discrimination Act
(HONDA), was introduced in the United States House of Representatives
by Congresswoman Musgrave (R-CO). Home School Legal Defense
Association fully supports this bill.

REQUESTED ACTION:

Please call or write your representative in Washington and ask him or her to
cosponsor this legislation. All that you need to say is that you are asking
your congressman "to cosponsor the Homeschool Non-Discrimination Act, H.R.
2732."

Without cosponsors, we will not be in a strong position to see the
provisions in HONDA enacted. It is important that we get as many
congressional cosponsors as we can this week, as at the end of this week the
U.S. House will go out of
session for the month of August. Cosponsorships cannot be recorded during
the break, but HSLDA will be talking to House leadership during the break
about the bill.

To find your representative, call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121,
or go to the web at:

(3) Report on My Patriot Act Resolution

Dear Friend,
Well, so far so good. I've presented twice so far before my Borough Council,
have been interviewed and had articles written on the Resolution by several
newspapers, and I was on CBS 3 KYW Eyewitness News (East Coast) on Monday
Night at 11PM.

I beseech you to do the same at your Borough/City Council!
See this webpage for a complete strategy:

We all must take action to preserve the Liberty given to us by the Founding
Fathers, who looked to Jesus Christ for their guidance.

Please pray that I, my family, and those fighting for Truth with me are
protected from evil as we do our best to serve the Lord as Daniel did.
