Defiant Louisiana Sheriff to Pray Publicly at July 4th Rally, Despite "Ridiculous" ACLU Threats"I don't work for anybody in Washington. What they do, what they say, I couldn't really care less." -Sheriff Julian Whittington (Bossier Parish, LA) - Sheriff Julian Whittington couldn’t care less about threats against his constitutional freedom to pray publicly at a local 4th of July prayer event and celebration. (Photo courtesy: The Christian Post) Whittington wasn’t fazed a bit when the ACLU protested. "Not only am I elected to serve the people of Bossier Parish," he said, "but I live here and my family lives here. I think Bossier Parish is a better place with Christianity and Christian values involved in it." As to the ACLU threats, he added, "I don't work for anybody in Washington. What they do, what they say, I couldn't really care less." Last year, a local chapter of the Young Marines group lost its federal funding because the sheriff refused to bar religious references used to sponsor them. Outraged, Whittington contacted Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal. "Enough is enough," he wrote. "This is the United States of America - and the idea that the mere mention of God or voluntary prayer is prohibited is ridiculous."
