House to vote on affirming ‘In God We Trust’ as National Motto

The U.S. House of Representatives will vote Tuesday on a resolution to affirm the phrase “In God We Trust” as the nation’s official motto, according to Politico.

Rep. Randy Forbes (R-VA), the founder and chairman of the Congressional Prayer Caucus, sponsored the legislation. It would encourage the public display of the motto in all public buildings, public schools and government institutions.

Forbes said he introduced the bill in January because he was troubled by a pattern of omitting God from the nation’s heritage.

“Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will have the same opportunity to reaffirm our national motto and directly confront a disturbing trend of inaccuracies and omissions, misunderstandings of church and state, rogue court challenges, and efforts to remove God from the public domain by unelected bureaucrats,” Forbes said.

Good to know that the GOP is still solely dedicated to creating jobs and fixing the economy. of course they already proved that with all the jobs created by the "defense of marriage" act but it's so comforting to know how much they care about the Murrican people.

What they don't tell you is that the God they really mean is the State.

Well .... I guess , I actually prefer this over them working on spending bills ...

And I prefer a punch to the stomach over a punch to the groin. Still doesnt mean I want either one to happen to me.

being a congresscritter is hard werk.

That was my first thought!

In God we trust what?

I considered that too ...

Bingo.

Wasn't it Lincoln that first put this motto on our money?

I wouldn't be too bothered by the motto if it weren't for the fact that these politicians are all fake Christians and not real Christians.

Good for the House. I am 100% in support of this. If Ron Paul votes against this, it will certainly be brought up in the debates. The paleo-con Constitution Party supports this as well, one of the areas they differ with Libertarians.

I support this too. I wish the world had more trust in God than in government.

Isn't this already the motto? Are they just voting on it now for shits and giggles?

 

[Guitarzan]

I'm not fond of any 'national' motto.

I don't agree with "In God We Trust" as I do actually think it is a federal endorsement of religion which is not within the defined parameters of government and i think that "E pluribus unum" is a more appropriate national motto if we need one at all... But how is this an issue worth bringing up?
