I just got this from my sister. I went to the site and expected to see an overwhelming vote to retain "In God We Trust" on our currency. Silly me. The Vote is 52% to 48% for to remove. Please go and vote. I don't want a liberal News show claiming they have their finger on the pulse of the American electoric.

Perhaps they would have us all believe in Olberman/Mitchell instead of God?

or alternately, YES, BECAUSE ITS NOT TRUE.

Well, that is so, isn’t it? Honestly now. I know plenty of individual Americans do, but is it genuinely still possible to say that the USA, as a nation, does actually “Trust God”?

We’ve turned our back on Him as a Nation. He’s turned His back on us. No surprise. There’s a reason we’re not mentioned in Biblical prophecy. We won’t matter as a Nation....

I voted NO after you and it’s still 51-49%. It looks like it’s fixed.

A single vote won’t change the percentage unless it’s close to the next digit (unless it’s very few respondents obviously).

Make sure to use IE when accessing the page. When I hit the page in a Firefox on a PC platform I got this message: “Your response cannot be recorded. For assistance please contact MSNBC technical support.”

Government schools have led to the belief that “separation of church and state” is in the constitution which is not. Ignorance is the new knowledge...
