America Needs More Men And Women Like Forbes

Rep Randy Forbes (R-VA) has spent four years fighting to have Congress officially support the right to have the national motto “In God We Trust” in government buildings and public schools.  Last Thursday the House Judiciary Committee passed his In God We Trust Resolution, which reaffirms the national motto and supports and encourages the public display of the motto in all public buildings.

Forbes legislation is especially important because of a recent cultural shift in America to keep God out of public and government institutions.

“This sends a clear message to all these government departments and agencies that it’s all right to put up the motto on our buildings and in our classrooms.  And I think it will stop the tide of the chilling effect over the past several years,” Forbes said in an interview.

“We’re not forcing anybody to do anything,” said Forbes.  “But at the same time, we want to stand there to protect people who want to say God in a public building.  And we don’t want some government agency telling them that they can’t put the national motto in their buildings or classrooms.”

Congress voted in 1956 to make “In God We Trust” the nation’s official motto.  A year earlier, Congress passed a law that mandated the phrase be on all coins and currency.  President Eisenhower signed the currency bill into law in 1956, and since then all American paper money and coins have the motto on them.

We need more Americans like Representative Forbes.  Too many Americans have lost the Christian values upon which America was built.
