GOP Lawmaker Behind The Anti-�Happy Holidays� Resolution Sent A �Happy
Holidays� Greeting Last Year
Leading the fight to defend Christianity in the so-called �War on
Christmas,� Rep. Henry Brown (R-SC) introduced congressional
resolution 951, which �urges protection of the symbols and traditions
of Christmas.�
http://www2.counton2.com/cbd/news/local/article/south_carolina_congressman_henry_e._brown_jr._tries_to_save_true_meaning_of/95300/
Despite criticism from House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH)
against frivolous legislation,
http://thinkprogress.org/2009/12/09/boehner-christmas/ Brown has
pressed forward and collected 74 GOP cosponsors.
http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-hr951/show
The religious meaning of Christmas is serious to Brown.
In an explanation of his resolution to the Christian Broadcast
Network, Brown noted that, �we�re in a troubled world,� so �we can�t
lose sight of our deep faith by some how or another diminishing the
value of Christmas.�
http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/politics/2009/December/Congressman-Tries-to-Save-True-Meaning-of-Christmas/
The main threat to Christmas, Brown contents, is the use of the term
�happy holidays� rather than an emphasis on �Christ and Christmas.�
http://www2.counton2.com/cbd/news/local/article/south_carolina_congressman_henry_e._brown_jr._tries_to_save_true_meaning_of/95300/
In an interview with Fox Business last week, Brown lashed out at the
use of �happy holidays�:
BROWN: We forget the real meaning of Christmas by using �happy
holidays� or �joy to the seasons� or some other word rather than
�Merry Christmas.� [...]
Every year, more and more people are shying away from �Merry
Christmas� and using �happy holidays� or some other means of
expressing this special time for us.
Watch it:

Indeed, Brown has even attempted to use his resolution as a jab
against President Obama.
Declaring that the Obamas� holiday card doesn�t mention Christmas,
Brown said, �I believe that sending a Christmas card without
referencing a holiday and its purpose limits the Christmas celebration
in favor of a more �politically correct� holiday.�

Brown�s fight to preserve Christmas and shun �happy holidays� has
earned him the title of �patriot� from noted culture warrior Bill
O�Reilly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmhDZEBfqBs
However, Brown�s 2008 December newsletter wished a �happy holiday�
http://brown.house.gov/list/press/sc01_brown/12232008DecemberNewsletter.shtml
to his constituents for the �holiday season.�
http://brown.house.gov/list/press/sc01_brown/12232008DecemberNewsletter.shtml
Although the newsletter had a link to the White House Christmas tree
website, it made no other mention of Christ or Christmas.

And as Slate�s Chris Beam has observed, Brown didn�t introduce his
resolution last year, even though President Bush�s 2008 holiday card
didn�t mention Christmas either. http://www.slate.com/id/2238994/

'Holiday' Cards Ring Hollow for Some on Bushes' List
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, December 7, 2005
"This month, as in every December since he took office,
President Bush sent out cards with a generic end-of-the-
year message, wishing 1.4 million of his close friends
and supporters a happy "holiday season."
Many people are thrilled to get a White House Christmas card,
no matter what the greeting inside. But some conservative
Christians are reacting as if Bush stuck coal in their
stockings.
"This clearly demonstrates that the Bush administration
has suffered a loss of will and that they have capitulated
to the worst elements in our culture," said William A.
Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious
and Civil Rights."

No matter who is in the presidency, it is annoying that they have
trillions of of our dollars at their disposal and numerous aides with
large salaries to send out cards, yet they send out generic one-size-
fits-all cards? Obama and Bush have both thrown around WAY too much of
our money with reckless abandon to go cheap and low-class on holiday
cards.
