FREEDOM OF RELIGION

Statements regarding religion and morality made by the Founding Fathers are just as important today as they were 200 years ago.

References to the Creator in the Declaration of Independence are very important.

We reject the Ninth Federal Circuit Court declaring the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional.

The phrase “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance is perfectly in line with the United States Constitution.

Separation between Church and State does not mean there can be no references to God in government sanctioned activities or public buildings.

The best way to ensure religious freedom is to protect ALL religious references and symbols; including those on public buildings, lands, or documents.

Children should be allowed a moment of silence to pray for themselves in public school if they desire.

We reject banning all prayer in public schools.

We support the right of high schools students saying thanks to God in a graduation speech.

We approve of nativity scenes, Menorahs or other religious symbols being placed on public property during their appropriate holiday season.

We favor a law to protect city, county, and state lands that have crosses or other religious symbols from being removed.

Many of the problems our country faces are because America is no longer as religious and moral as it once was.

The Founding Fathers understood that religion and morality were important to creating and building this country and talked about it regularly. This was understood throughout American history and is central to America’s success today.

We reject that this violates the U.S. Constitution and discriminates against those who are of other faiths or are not religious.
