NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Charles Wysong believes God has stirred a fight in Tennessee.

As president of Ten Commandments-Tennessee, Wysong wants to see the biblical laws posted in public places throughout the state. He vows his organization will pay all the legal expenses for defending three displays in Hamilton County.

June Griffin, meanwhile, has traveled the state for five years in her 1993 Pontiac, trying to persuade commissioners in all of Tennessee's 95 counties to display the Ten Commandments in public buildings. More than half of the state's counties do so.

Hi m.e.h and others who live in TN. I live in Knoxville TN, and I agree that we should obviously stop 10C's to be posted in courtrooms, schools and whatever. Whether the 10C's are historical or not, it is still religious in nature and therefore violates the 1st Amendment, correct? I would like to help that girl somehow.
