“In GOD We Trust”—Except in American Classrooms!


The 2010-2011 federal government’s fiscal year budget ended at midnight, yesterday. What are the provisions of the 2011-2012 federal government’s fiscal year budget? NO ONE KNOWS!!! The Republican controlled House of Representatives passed a fiscal year 2011-2012 budget last spring. The Democratic controlled Senate rejected that proposed budget. The Democratic controlled Senate also rejected the proposed budget of the President. Incredibly, or not; the Democratic control Senate with yesterday as the end of the fiscal year, HAS NOT PROPOSED ANY TYPE OF REPLACEMENT BUDGET OR ANY TYPE OF BUDGET!!! HOW FISCALLY IRRESPONSIBLE IS THE DEMOCRATIC CONTROLLED SENATE!!! Besides spending more and more money, WHAT HAS THE DEMOCRATIC CONTROLLED SENATE DONE THIS YEAR!!! THE NEXT ELECTION FOR 23 DEMOCRAT SENATORS IS 2012!!! WE NEED TO VOTE THESE IRRESPONSIBLE SENATORS OUT OF OFFICE!!!!!!!

UPDATE from Tea Party Nation:

Don’t forget the rally in Raleigh, North Carolina this morning!!!

“Tea Party groups and other Patriot groups in North Carolina are taking action. On Saturday, October 1st, Tea Party groups are rallying in Raleigh, North Carolina at the North Carolina’s Governor’s mansion. The rally will start at 11 AM and the address of the mansion is 200 N Blount Street, Raleigh, NC 27601.

The Patriots of North Carolina are going to tell Beverly Perdue that only dictators suspend elections. This is America. Real Americans love liberty. Real Americans support and defend the Constitution. Real Americans support the rights of the people to vote.”

“Help this teacher keep ‘In God We Trust’ in His Classroom

Dear Friends,

It’s okay for teachers to honor Buddha in their classrooms, but not God.

That’s what a 3-judge panel of the federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held two weeks ago. The court ordered that all banners mentioning ‘God’, including ‘In God We Trust’ be taken down. And we need your help to appeal that ruling.

The Court ridiculed the historical fact of ‘God’s role in our Nation’s history.’

The Court’s target was Brad Johnson, a highly respected math teacher for the Poway Unified School District in San Diego, California. Click here to donate to Brad’s fight.

That’s because for over two decades, Brad displayed banners in his classroom that included our national motto, ‘In God We Trust,’ and other patriotic phrases that mentioned God: ‘One Nation Under God,’ ‘God Bless America,’ and ‘God Shed His Grace On Thee.’

But in 2007, school officials ordered him to take down his banners because they promoted a Judeo-Christian viewpoint by referring to ‘God,’ and might offend a Muslim student.

A Double Standard. School officials left untouched: a 40 foot string of Tibetan prayer flags with images of Buddha strung across the classroom; posters of Hindu leader Mahatma Gandhi, Muslim leader Malcolm X, and Buddhist leader Dali Lama.

The School District admitted that Brad never attempted to proselytize his students; that he was one of the best math teachers in the District.

Rather than cave-in, Brad chose to fight with the help of the Thomas More Law Center. We agreed to represent Brad without charge. And ever since, Brad has been locked in a lengthy legal battle.

The Law Center doesn’t merely talk about the issues close to your heart, we take action.

The Ninth Circuit’s opinion overruled a 2010 lower court decision which had held that the School District violated Brad Johnson’s constitutional rights when it ordered him to take down his classroom banners.

We will now appeal the decision to the entire Ninth Circuit bench by filing our petition for en banc review. If that’s not successful, we will petition the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case.

You can make a difference!

At a time when public schools and federal courts are cleansing classrooms of America’s Christian heritage and undermining students’ sense of patriotism, this courageous Christian teacher is fighting back. Don’t let him fight alone.

First and foremost, these type of issues should not even be in the federal court system. There is NO concept or doctrine of a “Separation of Church and State” within the Constitution of the United States OR its Amendments. The whole doctrine is a fiction created by the federal courts.

Secondly, the courts are illogical in their rulings on this issue, if it were a Constitutional issue which it is not. Every bill printed by the U.S. Treasury—which is a part of the federal government—has inscribed upon it this statement—“In God We Trust.” That inscription is required by Congress by law. Therefore, If “In God We Trust” is Unconstitutional in a government classroom, it is also Unconstitutional every time it is printed on our money. Good luck with that! Everyone of us, according to the courts, are violating the Constitution with every bill that we carry and spend!!!

Our courts are OUT OF CONTROL!!! It is time, it is past time to rein in our federal courts!!!

It is time, it is past time to REIN IN OUR FEDERAL COURTS!!!
