You are subscribed as %%emailaddress%% A LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT From the Congressional Prayer Caucus December 6, 2010 Dear Mr. President, We write today in response to a speech given on November 10, 2010...in Jakarta, Indonesia, in which you state, "But I believe that the history of both America and Indonesia should give us hope.  It is a story written into our national mottos.  In the United States, our motto is E pluribus unum - out of many one...our nations show that hundreds of millions who hold different beliefs can be united in freedom under one flag." E pluribus unum is not our national motto.  In 1956, Congress passed and President Eisenhower approved the law establishing "In God We Trust" as the offical national motto of the United States.  This motto is also referenced in our national anthem and is engraved on our coins and currency. Additionally, during three separate events this fall, when quoting from the Declaration of Independence, you mentioned that we have inalienable rights, but consistently failed to mention the source of the rights.  The Declaration of Independence definitively recognizes God, our Creator, as the source of our rights.  Omitting the word "Creator" once was a mistake; but twice establishes a pattern. In your speech in Indonesia, you mentioned being unified under one flag.  The Pleadge of Allegiance to our flag says that we are "one nation under God."  As President of the United States, you are our representative to the rest of the world.  By misrepresenting things as foundational as the Declaration of Independence and our national motto, you are not only doing a disservice to the people you represent you are casting aside an integral part of American society... If we pull the thread of religious conviction out of the marketplace of ideas, we unravel the tapestry of freedom that birthed America... "If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be one nation gone under." -President Ronald Reagan Signed, 68 members of The United States House of Representatives For more information about the GodThoughts Ministry, clickhere.
