Stop the ACLU!

They're continuing their god-hating mission to oppress Christianity at every turn!

They hold up religious signs and set up camp along the strip preaching the gospel to anyone who'll listen. But now these street preachers say police are trying to give them the boot, and they say it's a violation of their constitutional rights.

And you can just bet that those evil ACLU people are out to make sure it happens, and how!

News 3's Alex Savidge reports from the strip to tell us why the ACLU is stepping in to help them.

Oh, whoops.

County ordinances say you can't hold up anything, a sign or banner wider than your body on a public street because it gets in the way of people walking by.

ACLU attorney Allen Lichtenstein says that law is laughable. And he says he plans fight the city and county on behalf of these two street preachers. "It's really selective enforcement that can only be assumed to represent content discrimination." The ACLU says they will have to file suit against the county if police don't stop going after these street preachers.

I bet they're just trying to lull the religious right into a false sense of complacency before the Revolution strikes!

Uh, yeah, that's it.
