After reviewing acknowledgments of God from all 50 state constitutions, one is faced with the prospect that maybe, the ACLU and the out-of-control federal courts and the 'Palinites' are wrong! If you found this to be "Food for thought.." please copy and send to as many as you think will be enlightened as I hope you are..
Please note that at no time is anyone told that they MUST worship God.
"Those people who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants."
