As many
of you are aware, the Knights of Columbus 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 very recent
pole taken by NBC
on what
percentage 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 my 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:
To keep the
word God in the Pledge of Allegiance and In God We Trust on our
money: 86% for, 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%?
If you agree,
pass this on. if not, simply
delete.
