Since the use of the Trinity crosses by the government of the City of Las Cruces was challenged as being an illegal imposition on the civil liberties of citizens, those rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and the New Mexico Constitution, the City Council and the Dona Ana County Commissioners have been running scared.
The Christian symbol of love has become an in-your-face flaunting of religious superiority representing a government-sponsored disdain for non-believers and non-Christians in the community. Many citizens are afraid to speak up when they know it's wrong.
The points on the sunburst reflect chapters of the Gospel of John, the verse reference depends on the City Department. The police use 12-points on their patrol cars for Chapter 12.34. On the police uniforms is the 20-point sunburst with floating Trinity crosses. The newer adopted 20-points if for John 20 - the Resurrection.
The Dona Ana County Commissioner showed their support for the problem the City got itself in for using government funds to proselytize. The County added a dripping yellow cross to the County seal and now claim it represents the local sunshine.
The City has purposefully instituted a campaign to get the Trinity crosses symbol on every item possible in every Department. A license plate for Las Cruces has been approved by Governor Richardson and his faithful gang in Santa Fe. Only those who live in the neighborly City Limits can buy the plate, although about 60,000 people have an address listed as 'Las Cruces.' The additional $25 cost is supposed to go the Recreational Department which is known for its activities to proselytize the youth of the city.
It's good to have the license plate so citizens and visitors will be forewarned as to the prejudice of the proud owners.
