Any time an e-mail imploring you to forward this to everyone in your address book or to have the guts to forward something, it's usually a hoax, urband legend, lies - aka - SPAM.
Between 1975 and 1995, more than 30 million pieces of mail decrying RM-2493 had been received by the FCC. Those worried that religion is dead in America, take heart. But also spare a bit of pity for the FCC – they’ve been buried under this hoax for decades.
My 'first thought' ;) upon reading the starting post was "Snope It!", as I distinctly remember hearing of this urban legend before, went to Snopes, and found out the lie that it was. ... But apparently, it's _still_ making the rounds, and a lot of people still take it seriously (even if they do think later to Snope It, like Bell and WW did).

www.snopes.com is great for exposing these b.s. e-mails that do nothing but clog servers all over the world.....
This one is from 2003

Darn, Belle beat me to it!
If you read the Snopes page, you'll see that Petition 2493 was defeated IN 1975.
