Our religious liberty is under attack yet again.
A Washington D.C.-based liberal group is demanding a Texas county remove a nativity scene displayed on courthouse grounds during Christmas season. Theyre threatening to take legal action, and Governor-elect Greg Abbott is prepared to fight back.
Sign the petition if you support the right to display a nativity scene during Christmas season.

It turns out a commissioner in Cherokee Co, Texas has denied a local Humanist, Daniel Ross, from putting his display on the courthouse lawn along with Christian nativity scene that is already there. He was asked by the commissioner to have the 350,000 member strong Humanist organization to move it's holiday from December 23rd to another date some other time because his organization was only using the Dec 23 date to fuck with Christians at Christmas time.
Here's a PDF from American Humanist Associate that contains an explanation of their complaint to the Cherokee Co commissioners:
