FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


LATEST ATTACK ON MARRIAGE SHOWS NEED FOR CONFRONTING JUDICIAL WAR ON FAITH CONFERENCE

March 18, 2005 - Dr. Rick Scarborough, acting chairman of the Judeo-Christian Council for Constitutional Restoration, said the California marriage ruling highlighted the need for the Council’s up-coming conference -- Confronting The Judicial War on Faith – April 7-8 at the Washington Marriott in Washington DC.

On Monday, California Superior Court Judge Richard Kramer ruled that a voter-enacted ban on gay marriage violated the state constitution.

The law – limiting marriage to the union of a man and a woman -- was passed by referendum in 2000, with 61.4% of the vote. On Election Day 2004, defense of marriage amendments were enacted by popular vote in 11 states – all by landslide margins.

“Besides being an absolute outrage, this decision demonstrates the determination of liberal judges to defy the will of the people – and clear constitutional mandates – to force their radical theories on the nation,” Scarborough charged.

“And that’s why our conference, Confronting The Judicial War on Faith, is so vitally important,” Scarborough declared. “April 7-8 will be the beginning of a coalition effort among conservative organizations, pro-family groups, ministries and churches to return America to our Judeo-Christian roots and reform a judiciary seemingly intent on overthrowing democracy and radically transforming our society – in ways unimaginable to the Founding Fathers.”

Confirmed Speakers include: Congressman Tom DeLay, Senator Sam Brownback, former Vatican Ambassador Ray Flynn, Phyllis Schlafly, Mike Farris (Home School Legal Defense Association), Roy Moore (former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court), Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, Alan Keyes, former Congressman Bill Dannemeyer and Janet Folger.

The conference will consider: The Judicial Assault On Our Judeo-Christian Heritage * Judges: Abortion and Other Life Issues * Judicial Nominations * The Real Constitution * Remedies To Judicial Tyranny *and Mobilizing The Grassroots Against Liberal Judges.

Registration for the two-day conference is $149. More information, including a program for the conference, is available on line at http://www.stopactivistjudges.org.

Confronting The Judicial War On Faith is the first conference to address judicial activism from a faith perspective
