-Caveat Lector- > FALWELL CONFIDENTIAL > > DATE: July 11, 2002 > FROM: Jerry Falwell > > Pledge Case Was A Fraud From the Get-Go > > Atheist firebrand Michael Newdow brought suit against the Pledge of > Allegiance by proclaiming his eight-year-old daughter was offended by > its > recitation in her public school classroom. > > That entire case is a sham. > > In a conversation with one of my staff members on Wednesday, Rich > Chaffin, > pastor of the Laguna Calvary Chapel Church, verified that the young > girl > actually attends Sunday school at his church and loves the Lord Jesus > Christ. The little girl's mother is a Sunday school teacher there. > > Furthermore, the girl's mother, Sandra Banning, has sent a statement > to > members of Congress that spells out the conniving of this father in > the > high-profile case. > > "In her discussions with me, [my daughter] expressed sadness about > the > decision," said Banning.
