THE LAW IS THE LAW

So if the US government determines that it is against
the law for the words "under God" to be on our money,
then, so be it.

And if that same government decides that the "Ten
Commandments" are not to be used in or on a government
institution , then,so be it.

I say, "so be it," because I would like to be a law
abiding US citizen.

I say, "so be it," because I would like to think
that smarter people than I are in positions to make
good decisions.

I would like to think that those people have the
American public's best interests at heart.

BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I'D LIKE?

Since we can't pray to God, can't Trust in God and
cannot post His Commandments in Government buildings,
I don't believe the Government and its employees
should participate in the Easter and Christmas
celebrations which honor the God that our government
is eliminating from many facets of American life.

I'd like my mail delivered on Christmas, Good
Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter. After all, it's just
another day.

I'd like the "US Supreme Court to be in session on
Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter as well
as Sundays. After all, it's just another day.

I'd like the Senate and the House of Representatives
to not have to worry about getting home for "Christmas
Break." After all it's just another day.

I'm thinking that a lot of my taxpayer dollars could
be saved, if all government offices & services would
work on Christmas, Good Friday & Easter.It shouldn't
cost any overtime since those would be just like any
other day of the week to a government that is trying
to be "politically correct." (

In fact....

I think that our government should work on Sundays
(initially set aside for worshipping God...) because,
after all, our government says that it should be just
another day.... What do you all think????

If this idea gets to enough people, maybe our
elected officials will stop giving in to the "minority
opinions" and begin, once again, to represent the
"majority" of ALL of the American people.

SO BE IT..........

Please Dear Lord, Give us the help needed to keep
you in our country! 'Amen' and 'Amen

These are definitely things I never thought about
but from now on, I will be sure to question those in
government who support these changes.

Not sure what to think of an email that says-

"...it is against the law for the words "under God" to be on our money..."

Under God was never on our money. In God We Trust is on our money. Even if they confused that phrase with what is in the Pledge of Allegiance, it's still there, so I don't know where they get it's against the law.

then, so be it. Like Bubba said..it's in GOD we trust

And if that same government decides that the "Ten
