Touched by an Angel Hoax
PLEASE NOTE: The following email is designated a hoax because it contains multiple "Signals". The combination of more than one or two signals gives strong evidence to support the possibility that the message is not genuine.
The message below is a hoax. For official government agency confirmation, please visit the following page: http://www.fcc.gov/mmb/enf/forms/rm-2493.html
The original hoax message looks like this:
CBS will be forced to discontinue "Touched By An Angel" for using the word "GOD" in every program. Madeline O'Hare, an atheist, successfully eliminated the use of Bible reading and prayers from schools fifteen years ago. Her organization had now granted a Federal Hearing on the same subject by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) in Washington, D.C. Their petition, No.2493, would ultimately pave the way to stop the reading of tile Gospe1 of our Lord and Savior, on the airwaves of America.
They took this petition with 287,000 signatures to back their stand. If this attempt is successful, all Sunday Worship services being broadcast either by radio or television will stop. This group is also campaigning to remove all Christmas Programs, Christmas songs and Christmas carols from' public schools! You Can help!
We are praying for at least one million signed letters. This would defeat their effort and show that there are many Christians alive, well and concerned in our country. Please print this letter the cut off and sign the form below.
PLEASE Do Not SIGN JOINTLY, such as Mr. & Mrs. Each person should sign one letter separately, and mail it in separate envelopes. Be sure to put Petition 2495 on the envelope when you mail the letter. This has to go by regular mail. It is very important that the letters are mailed right away.
Please e-mail this letter to all your friends and relatives and to anyone else you fell led to Or photo copy it and mail it. As Christians we must unite on this. Please do not take this lightly. We ignored her once and lost prayer in schools and in offices across the nation. Please stand up for your religious freedom and let your voice be heard. Together we CAN make a difference in our country while creating an opportunity for the lost to know the lord.
If you receive this message or similar, please do not pass it on.
