Seizure Of Gospel Tracts By Secret Service Appealed

Agape Press yesterday reported that an appeal has been filed with the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals by the Great News Network whose religious flyers were confiscated by Secret Service agents. The government claims the flyers violate counterfeiting prohibitions. (See prior posting.) GNN has distributed gospel tracts that resemble $1 million bills, a non-existent denomination of U.S. currency. On the back, the tract says: "The million-dollar question: Will you go to heaven?" Brian Fahling, senior trial attorney with the Center for Law & Policy who represents GNN, says that no one would confuse these with real currency. They say, "This bill is not legal tender"and "from the Department of Eternal Affairs".
