This morning, September 24, 2007, Bill and Patsy Hewitt were slapped with a Temporary Injunction that will be in effect until a future hearing on January 4, 2008.  This injunction was filed by the Smith County Board of Education and created a Gospel free bubble zone of 100 feet outside the property of schools in the Smith County School District.  This means that the public sidewalks and roads surrounding Smith County Schools are now “off-limits” to the Gospel proclamation of Bill and Patsy.

Our able attorney, Rick Nelson of the American Liberties Institute, and several local attorneys near Smith County are providing counsel for Bill and Patsy.  This case is of major significance because Bill and Patsy have violated no law, been enthusiastically greeted by many of the parents, told by police that they were well in their First Amendment Rights to be doing what they were doing, and yet are being vilified and censored by the Smith County Board of Education because it does not want the Gospel of Christ presented anywhere.

The Smith County Board of Education has, in actuality, used the Circuit Court of Macon County, to totally fabricate an injunction that is in direct violation of the 1st Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America.

This outrageous disregard for the Constitution of the United States of America and obvious animus toward the God who made our nation great has not fallen on deaf ears.

We will keep you informed.  Be ready for a “National Call” to join our brother and sister in Tennessee.  The job is not yet finished!
