Below is a sampling of the hundreds of emails that are pouring into our office:
Thank you for publishing the brilliant essay by Ambassador Keyes. It ranks up there with the Federalist Papers! It was diminished only by that reference to dissolving the Union. That may have been the big concern of the nineteenth century, but of course, the concern today is whether we will lose too much liberty to the central government.
I just wanted to pass along a word of encouragement to you, Doug and to Judge Moore. In addition to my other vocations, I also had the privilege to serve the Commonwealth of Virginia as a Magistrate for 12 years. Due to this experience I am able, in a small way, to sympathize with what Judge Moore is facing. Many judicial officers throughout the United States are often left with the choice of following the orders of a judge, or risking contempt charges and following the law. The pressure is tremendous, especially when one has family and financial obligations. Judge Moore is a beacon of courage and so are you folks at VF for holding him up during this time - keep up the good work and we will continue to pray for you all. God bless you.
Thank you for your frequent updates on the situation concerning Judge Moore and the 10 Commandments. I took my 2 oldest sons with me to the August 16th rally in Montgomery. It was awesome. Truly we are seeing History in the making. Thanks again for your help with the flow of information.
Just finished reading the brilliant constitutional defense by Alan Keyes on the 10 Commandments issue and the broader aspects of the establishment of religion issue, states rights, and the federal judiciary run amok. Thanks for printing this. My prayers are with you, Mr. Keyes, and Judge Roy Moore.
I think judge Roy Moore may be the best possible candidate for President and would like someone with some pull to suggest it to him. Thank You.
Hi, Doug, This 70-year-old lady from Virginia wants to say a hearty “THANK YOU!” for the coverage you have given this issue. If I wasn’t tied down taking care of my 96-year-old mother who cannot be left alone, I’d LOVE to be in Birmingham with all of the people you are writing about. I have always admired your father, and loved NET-TV when we lived for a year in the DC area and your dad’s program in the evening was my favorite program. I am delighted to hear that the man who writes us about Vision Forum, and from whom I bought 6 sets of the books and CDs you advertised before Father’s Day (for my grandchildren who are still raising children, and my husband, who loves them all), is Howard Phillip’s son. What a tremendous job you are doing, following in the footsteps of your famous father! We have followed Judge Moore’s firm support of the Ten Commandments for years, and just wish we could have sent him more to help him with his defense.
I am disappointed in Marvin Olasky and Jay Sekulow and Pat Robertson - I have subscribed to WORLD for years and love it. I wonder how Bob Jones IV feels about Judge Moore - I cannot feel that he agrees with Olasky. Keep up the good work. I have spent my entire day copying out your many articles about Judge Moore, and the other items from your journal - all 37 pages of it! and several other articles you have sent the last few weeks. I am just now back on-line after my old computer quit on me, and I now have a new one - downloaded 127 emails as soon as I came back on-line! Our prayers and best wishes are with you, now and in the future.
