Thank you for your patience.

I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one Nation under God, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.

The phrase "under God" was added to the pledge
by a Congressional act approved on June 14, 1954.
At that time, President Eisenhower said:
"in this way we are reaffirming the transcendence
of religious faith in America's heritage and future;
in this way we shall constantly strengthen
those spiritual weapons which forever will be
our country's most powerful resource
in peace and war."

As our nation still struggles with 9-11, a court has decided
it is wrong to have "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance to
our flag -- the symbol of our nation and who we are.

As terrorists bring their evil to our country, our own laws
try to break down and weaken this great nation,
a nation that honors God and asks God's blessings on it.

Are we a nation going the way of other once great
nations of history: the way of immorality, self,
and greed instead of love, honor,
and acknowledgment of God's blessings?

As we proudly wear our red, white, and blue
and pause to say the Pledge of Allegiance,
may we each pledge "under God" and pray
His continued blessings upon our beloved nation.
Pray that all children of this great nation will always
continue to enjoy the heritage of "under God."

Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hail at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad strips & bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream:
Tis the Star-Spangled Banner: Oh, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution,
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
from the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Oh, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation;
Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made & preserved us as a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave

As you walk up the steps to the building which houses the U.S. Supreme
Court you can see near the top of the building a row of the world's law
givers and each one is facing one in the middle who is facing forward with
a full frontal view...it is Moses and he is holding the Ten Commandments!

As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have
the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door.

As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the wall,
right above where the Supreme Court judges sit,
a display of the Ten Commandments!

There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal
Buildings and Monuments in Washington, D.C.

James Madison, the fourth president, known as "The Father of Our
Constitution" made the following statement:

"We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity
of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to
govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to
the Ten Commandments of God."

Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding Father of our country said:

"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great
nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on
religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ".

Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher,
whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777.

Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members
of the established orthodox churches in the colonies.

Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their authority
and instead of interpreting the law would begin making law. an oligarchy.

the rule of few over many.

The very first Supreme Court Justice, John Jay, said:

"Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers."

How, then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have done
for 220 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and unconstitutional?

It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God.
Therefore, it is very hard to understand
why there is such a mess about having
the Ten Commandments on display
or "In God We Trust" on our money
and having God in the Pledge of Allegiance.
