As many of you are aware, it was the Knights of Columbus who submitted to congress that the words "Under God" should be added to our pledge of allegiance.  Both Houses of Congress passed the law and it was signed by President Eisenhower in 1954. The information below was based on a poll taken by NBC on what percentage think we should keep the words in our pledge verses the percent who want it removed.

If you read this and agree that "under God" should be left in the pledge, then just forward it to others and you have voted for it to be left in. If you delete it and don't forward it you are voting NO to "under God."  Easy huh!

Shock

to NBC

 

This is not sent for discussion. If you agree, forward it...  If you don't, delete it.  I don't want to know one way or the other.  By m y forwarding it, you know how I feel.

  

  

 

 

  

 

Do you believe that the word "God" should stay in American

culture? 

 

NBC this morning had a poll on this question.  They had the highest Number of

responses that they have ever had for one of their polls,

and the Percentage was the same as this: 

 

86% to keep the

words, "IN God We Trust" and

"God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, 14% against. 

 

That is a pretty 'commanding' public response.

I was asked to send this on if I agreed or delete if I didn't. 

 

Now it is your turn.   It is said that 86% of Americans           believe the word "God" should stay. Therefore, I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a mess about having "In God We Trust" on our money and having "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.

 

Why is the world catering to this 14%? 

 

AMEN! 

 

If you agree, pass this on.  

if not, simply delete. 

 

In God We Trust 

And again I say AMEN!
