I guess things seem so much better since the Demoncrats took over what with all the job creation and with home values going through the roof like they are. Yeah, that minimum wage increase sure fixed the econmy, didn’t it?
Faith in government is all our currency represents. That should be removed.... by going back to a gold based currency.
Yes. It's a violation of the principle of separation of church and state.
No. The motto has historical and patriotic significance and does nothing to establish a state religion.
I hate stupid polls like this because they add their own editorial positions right to the question. It makes it difficult to actually answer the question.
What if you think it should be removed even though you have no qualms about the separation of church and state. Of what if you want to keep it, but care not a fig about the historical or patriotic significance? What if you favor the establishment of a state religion, and see the motto as a good start?
God is all that is left in which to trust. All others have proveh themselves false.
EVERYONE ELSE PAYS CASH
I fear you’re right.
To be replaced with "In God we Trust - In Our Government We Don't"
OK, someone has to do it:
No, GD it!
Well we have removed prayer (God) from our schools, go do a research on the nose dive of our education system when that occured! Do you want to see the same with our money? Then remove, In God we trust, see what happens next!
