Postal Service logalAfter settling a small dispute, a Michigan post office is giving religious speech the stamp of approval.

Michael Shanton ran into a snag while distributing Christian literature outside the Farmington Hills, Michigan, post office when a Postal Service official said he was in violation of a section of the Postal Operations Manual, which prohibits individuals from issuing "pamphlets or flyers" that are not official government documents.

Jonathan Scruggs (ADF)"He was situated on a public sidewalk in front of the post office, and one day a postal official came out and said, 'No, you can't distribute literature here. You're not allowed to distribute literature anywhere on the property of the federal government,' and he essentially was threatened with arrest," explains Jonathan Scruggs, attorney with Alliance Defense Fund (ADF).
