Myler Construction Putting Back Commandments

Below, you will find an article from the local paper in Montgomery County, Indian. Earl Myler is negotiating with the counyt to purchase a 5 foot by 6 foot parcel of land to put back the 10 Commandments in front of the court house in Montgomery County.
As the ACLU and the Americans United for a Separation of Church State continue to press the anti-religion agendas throughout the country, I am impressed by the persistence of Mr. Myler and his efforts to bring the monument back to the county (at his own expense).
In a coming issue, The Church Report will be publishing a cover story on the many issues of how the ACLU and organzitions like the Americans United for a Separation of Church and State are trying to create a religion free zone, know as the government.
If you know of other instances of such actions in your hometown, please send me an email, I would be interested to hear about it!

County eyes Commandments, again
Rob Lee Reporter
The chief executive officer of a local company knows his proposal to return the Ten Commandments to the lawn of the Montgomery County courthouse may turn into a battle. But he does not seem to mind.

"On private property one may use his or her right of freedom of speech," Earl Myler told county commissioners Tuesday.

The CEO of Myler Church Building Systems proposed a purchase of land outside the courthouse to display a monument which the county removed to avoid a legal battle. The patch of land is owned by the county and would be the same one the marker was taken from in 2001.
"If the people of Montgomery County would sell us a portion of the courthouse lawn, through the normal legal bid process, and if we should win the bid, then we would be free to display a monument of the Ten Commandments under the protection of the Constitution," Myler said.
The portion of the lawn would be 30 square feet. Myler would place a newly designed monument there. "We are submitting a design which we feel would complement the courthouse decor," Myler said. "The land would be strictly used for the monument." Myler also would cover the cost of surveying and ongoing maintenance as part of the condition of the sale.
"Obviously, this will present commissioners with complicated issues," County Attorney Dan Taylor said.

The commissioners took the proposal under advisement until their next meeting Feb. 1.
Taylor was instructed to look into the logistics of the proposal. "I’ll try to have at least an initial report," Taylor said. "If we’ve learned anything from history, there may be new developments before the next meeting."
