1. Indiana’s ‘In God We Trust’ plate in, Indiana woman’s ‘GOD’ plate out
Attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund filed a lawsuit Monday challenging an Indiana statute that does not allow references to religion or a deity on personalized license plates even though the state itself issues “In God We Trust” specialty plates.  ADF attorneys filed the lawsuit against the commissioner of the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles on behalf of a woman whose application to renew her nine-year-old personalized plate was denied because of its reference to God.

4. Calif. court: Christian student free to speak as case proceeds
A federal judge ordered Yuba Community College District officials Monday to temporarily suspend enforcement of policies against a student represented by Alliance Defense Fund attorneys.  Yuba College officials threatened the student, Ryan Dozier, with arrest or expulsion for sharing his faith on campus in violation of college policies that dramatically restricted free speech.  For example, the college prohibits student speech without a permit outside of the school’s “free speech” limits of one hour per day two days per week.

5. Police in NY shrug off court order, deny religious free speech
Alliance Defense Fund attorneys have filed a federal lawsuit against the city of Ithaca on behalf of a Christian man denied his free speech rights even after he showed police officers a court order prohibiting them from enforcing an unconstitutional “noise” ordinance.  ADF attorneys also filed a motion asking the court to suspend the ordinance while the case moves forward.

How would you like your tax dollars to go to those that kill unborn children?
