Did you know that our Pledge of Allegiance is Unconstitutional

This may be common knowledge to you but in doing some research I just found this out. Friends, The Fox is in the Hen House and has been there for quite some time. How on earth could we have let this happen? While We were building our lives a force was slowly washing our foundation out from under us and our children, taking our country and turning it into? I don't know what, I have my opnion but. Well I guess we are just now getting our eyes opened. We have been asleep for too long but the call to arms has been sounded. At last nights meeting there was some great discussion, but also some concern about the size of the job (fight) ahead. All anyone can say is it will take some time, one person at a time. It is sort of like bringing down a large dam, you chip away and chip away, then you get a drip, water is a wonderful thing. First a drip, then a leak, and then a flood. Right now we have a drip. 1200 out of 500,000,000 is a drip. It seem like such a huge job ahead of us but.
I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!!!
What's it gonna take? Talk to one person, hand out one flyer, give out a web address, anything. It is a huge job for a few people but there are 1200 of us.
OK, I have ranted enough, there are two sites below, take a look and see, maybe you will get Pissed to.
Thank You Tony and Jilio, for getting us started, giving us a forum, and opening our eyes.

On January 14, 1969 a special man gave a warning.
" Two words were added to the Pledge in my lifetime, Under God. Wouldn't it be a shame if someone called it a prayer and made it (the Pledge) unconstitutional"

Those words were ignored! It will not happen again! I hope.


Between 1924 and 1954, the Pledge of Allegiance was worded:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands; one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

In 1954, during the McCarthy era and communism scare, Congress passed a bill, which was signed into law, to add the words "under God." The current Pledge reads:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands; one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

The Pledge is recited, on average, tens of millions of times a day -- largely by students in schools across America.

On 2002-JUN-26, a three judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voted 2 to 1 to declare the Pledge unconstitutional because of the addition of the phrase "under God." This decision only affects the states of AK, AZ, CA, HI, ID, MT, NV, OR and WA. However, the ruling will only take effect if it is upheld on appeal. The decision may be appealed to the entire 9th U.S. Circuit Court, or to the U.S. Supreme Court.

It is interesting to note that this decision happened to occur one day after the 40th anniversary of the Engel v. Vitale decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, which declared unconstitutional the inclusion of state-sponsored school prayer as a part of instruction in public schools. The Texas Justice Foundation had declared that anniversary a day of mourning.
