to 1st and 2nd Amendment state by state
DID YOU KNOW?
As you walk up the steps to the building which houses the U.S Supreme
Court you can see near the top of the building a row of the world's
law givers and each one is facing one in the middle who is facing
forward with a full frontal view .. it is Moses and he is holding the
Ten Commandments~!
DID YOU KNOW?
As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have
the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door.
DID YOU KNOW?
As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the wall,
right above where the Supreme Court judges sit,
a display of the Ten Commandments!
DID YOU KNOW?
There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal Buildings
and Monuments in Washington , D.C.
DID YOU KNOW?
James Madison, the fourth president, known as "The Father of Our
Constitution" made the following statement:
"We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the
capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and
all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain
ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."
DID YOU KNOW?
Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding Father of our country said:
"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great
nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on
religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ".
DID YOU KNOW?
Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher,
whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777.
DID YOU KNOW?
Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the
established orthodox churches in the colonies.
DID YOU KNOW?
Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their
authority and instead of interpreting the law would begin making law
an oligarchy the rule of few over many.
DID YOU KNOW?
The very first Supreme Court Justice, John Jay, said:
"Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers."
How, then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have done
for 220 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and
unconstitutional?
Lets put it around the world and let the world see and remember what
this great country was built on.
Chamber, US House of Representatives
It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore, it is very
hard to understand why there is such a mess about having the Ten
Commandments on display or "In God We Trust" on our money and having
God in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we just tell the other 14%
to Sit Down and SHUT UP!!!
If you agree, pass this on.
