PLEASE WATCH THIS NEWS CLIP BY Fox News: https://video.foxnews.com/v/5975810890001/#sp=show-clips IN GOD WE TRUST -- The first step! What next? Project Blitz: PROJECT BLITZ - BLITZ LAWS -- 1) WHAT IS IT? Project Blitz: the legislative assault by Christian nationalists to reshape America https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jun/04/project-blitz-the-legislative-assault-by-christian-nationalists-to-reshape-america 2) WHO INVENTED? THE MASTER MIND: created by a group called the Congressional Prayer Caucus Foundation (CPCF). -- Frederick Clarkson, senior research analyst at Political Research Associates, a thinktank which studies the political right, was first to write about Project Blitz, -- One of the steering team behind Project Blitz is David Barton, the Texas-based founder of an organisation called WallBuilders. -- 3) THE PLAN: leading figures in the CPCF set out their plans to flood state legislatures with bills. -- This is a 116-page strategy manual hidden away on a website. 4) HOW MANY LAWS: “In God We Trust bills are the most common. We had 26 of those (24-26 LAWS!). 5) THE STRATEGY: There are three categories of bills in Project Blitz. The first category of “In God We Trust” bills are likely to trigger opposition by saying the bills are a waste of time, or the sponsor of the bill “just wants to fight culture wars and divide people”. 6) Category two include bills for a range of proclamations or resolutions – declaring a religious freedom day or Christian heritage week that can then be used to get religious teaching into schools. The playbook adds: “If any legislator opposes this, it will be helpful to get him or her on the record against this heritage and freedom.” Category three bills will have the greatest impact but will be “the most hotly contested” the playbook says – they include resolutions in favour of “biblical values concerning marriage and sexuality”, such as “establishing public policy favoring adoption by intact heterosexual, marriage-based families” and “establishing public policy favoring intimate sexual relations only between married, heterosexual couples”. 7) WHICH STATES HAVE AS OF:06/04/2018 MADE IT INTO LAW? In Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Louisiana and Tennessee so-called ‘In God We Trust’ bills have become law since 2017.
