    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 poll 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 Pledge of Allegiance     ?        There was a recent poll on this question.  It received the highest Number of responses that there had ever been received for one of like polls, and the Percentages were these:        86% to keep       God in the Pledge of Allegiance and      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 God in the Pledge of Allegiance.   Why should our Nation cater to 14%?        If you agree, pass this on.            if not, simply delete.
