Dear Friend,

Conservative Chief Justice John Roberts has been called "the world's most powerful judge". And CNN reports that John Roberts supports allowing prayer in school.

Should Chief Justice John Roberts push to overturn the disastrous Engle v. Vitale Supreme Court ruling kicking prayer out of our schools?

I personally believe the decision to kick prayer out of our schools was one of the worst Supreme Court decisions in history, and our country has paid a terrible price for this assault on prayer in schools ...

... our country has churned out more murderers, more rapists, and more robbers than ever before.

... we see more schoolgirls getting pregnant and either having abortions or giving birth to babies without a father in the home -- babies on welfare.

... we've had more schoolchildren turn to drugs to escape the realities of life -- who find inspiration in crack-cocaine instead of faith.

... children can get free condoms in school but cannot learn about Jesus.

Do you agree with me that the ban on prayer has been a disaster for America? Please let me know on "Roberts Prayer Decision" Survey. Here's why your "Roberts Prayer Decision" Survey is so important:

John Roberts has made it clear that he is willing to overturn previous Supreme Court decisions that he believes have been wrongly decided. Chief Justice Roberts outraged liberals when he said:

"When considering whether to re-examine a prior erroneous holding, we must balance the importance of having constitutional questions decided against the importance of having them decided right."

So I am VERY hopeful that John Roberts will soon make a major decision to overturn the ban on school prayer in America ... if we can convince Chief Justice Roberts that the vast majority of the American people want prayer returned to our children's schools.

That's where your "Roberts Prayer Decision" Survey comes in. I need your "Roberts Prayer Decision" Survey to help build public momentum for Chief Justice Roberts and the Supreme Court to overturn the ban on school prayer.

Liberals understand that Chief Justice John Roberts is perfectly willing to overturn previous wrongly-decided liberal Supreme Court rulings.

That's why liberals are using every dirty trick in the book to try to intimidate John Roberts and STOP him from overturning the ban on prayer in schools:

• Even before John Roberts was confirmed as Chief Justice, the liberal ACLU attacked him for "supporting graduation prayer".

• Liberals taunted conservative Supreme Court Justices so badly at the State of the Union address that John Roberts called the intimidation "very troubling".

• Liberals have questioned John Roberts' honesty, claiming he "duped" and "hoodwinked" Congress.

• Liberals are trying to use legislative games to challenge John Roberts' authority as Supreme Court Chief Justice to interpret the law.

John Roberts really needs to know that he has the backing of the American people if he is to withstand this withering assault by the anti-religious left. That's another critical reason why your "Roberts Prayer Decision" Survey is so urgently needed!

So please fill out the enclosed "Roberts Prayer Decision" Survey to let John Roberts know if you are on his side in his battle to defend our religious liberty.

John Roberts understands how hard the ACLU and other liberals will fight to keep prayer out of schools. The 1962 Engle V. Vitale Supreme Court case to kick prayer out of our schools was the ACLU's first major victory in their war to destroy religion in America.

Since that day, the ACLU liberals have convinced the Supreme Court to ban prayer at high school graduations, ban displays of the Ten Commandments in school, banned prayer at high school football games, and even banned moments of silence in school.

But liberal Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren is no longer in charge of the Supreme Court. Conservative John Roberts is now Chief Justice.

And John Roberts has publically declared that he is willing to reverse prior rulings that destroyed our religious freedoms! That's why I believe your "Roberts Prayer Decision" Survey is so important.

We finally have a chance to overturn the ACLU's ban on prayer in our children's schools! And that's why I hope you'll take a couple of minutes to let John Roberts know that you support him at this time.

The ACLU is constantly telling the Supreme Court that it represents the American people. We cannot let the ACLU's voice be the only voice heard by John Roberts at the Supreme Court ... or we'll never get school prayer reinstated.

So please, for the sake of our children, PLEASE fill out and return your "Roberts Prayer Decision" Survey. And please do one other very important thing to help our children today.

Please contribute $25, $50, $100, $250, $500 or even $1000 or more to America's Prayer Network to assist us in our campaign to restore prayer in our children's schools?

Our goal is to collect one million "Roberts Prayer Decision" Survey responses and deliver them to Chief Justice Roberts at the Supreme Court. My staff estimates that the bill for this campaign will be at least $420,000!

But we can do it with your help. There are enough Americans of faith out there to make this campaign a success. If each of you who get this "Roberts Prayer Decision" Survey complete and send it back to me with a donation of just $25 to America's Prayer Network, we could afford to pay the entire $420,000 bill!

And together you and I and America's Prayer Network could give Chief Justice Roberts the support he needs to restore prayer to our children's schools!

Senator Jesse Helms has said that America's Prayer Network is the key to getting prayer back in our classrooms, and applauded our efforts as "historically important".

Senator Helms also said that America's Prayer Network deserves the support of the American people. Senator Helms is exactly right.

And during this historic campaign to help Chief Justice Roberts restore school prayer and fight the ACLU's anti-prayer agenda, America's Prayer Network needs the support of Americans of faith like you more than ever.

So please, my friend, do not delay even for a moment. Please send me your [requested and] completed "Roberts Prayer Decision" Survey for Chief Justice Roberts and your most generous donation... Thank you and God bless you (APN, P.O. Box 98214, Washington, D.C. 20090-8214).

Yours in Hope and Prayer,
