-------------------------------------------------------------
Please note that every state's constitution recognizes the
Biblical God but at no time is anyone told that they MUST
worship God.
After reviewing the acknowledgments of God from all 50
state constitutions we are clearly faced with the fact that
Barack Hussein Obama, the majority party in Congress, the
ACLU, and out-of-control federal courts are WRONG in their
separation of church and state proclamations!
Remember that "We," the states, gave and give the Federal
Government the right to exist. They have not given us the
right to exist.
Our coins say, "In God We Trust!"
May God, Who is acknowledged in all our fifty states
Constitutions, bless and keep America and our Constitution
safe from those who attack them!
