The House of Representatives passed a bi-partisan resolution Tuesday night reaffirming In God We Trust as the official motto of the United States. The 396-9 vote came at the request of Rep. Randy Forbes (R-VA) in part over President Obamas refusal to correct remarks he made that misstated the motto as E pluribus unum instead of In God We Trust.
Lawmakers voting against In God We Trust include Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY), Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich), Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA), Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO), Rep. Mike Honda (D-CA), Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA), Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA), and Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA). Voting present were Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) and Rep. Melvin Watt (D-NC).
The bi-partisan resolution not only affirms In God We Trust as the national motto, but it also encourages its display in public buildings and government institutions.

When the Capital visitors Center was opened they did not have the national motto in there. In fact, they inscribed in the stones that our national motto was 'E pluribus unum.'"
A speech President Obama gave last year in Jakarta, Indonesia, he stated that the motto was instead E Pluribus Unum, Latin for Out of many, one.
Obama keeps pushing the collective verse individual responsibility.

Voting present were Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN). . . . Maybe he would have voted for it if it said "In Allah we trust."

I’m sure that this statement encourages its display in public buildings and government institutions......includes the schools also......right?

Wadler/Nadler/Ackerman - New York: somebody had better make this a campaign issue. What a couple of creeps. We can do better than this, New Yorkers.

Yes, we should praise the God who has made us and preserved us as a nation.

Remember when Al Gore said that “E Pluribus Unum” meant “out of one, many”? And Quayle was supposed to be an idiot. And NOBODY makes Biden jokes, even though Leno could read a transcript of slow Joe speaking off the cuff and have the audience laughing their butts off.

The media has been picking and choosing America’s leaders for some time now with very few exceptions.
You’d think Americans would catch on.

Justin Amash is actually very conservative, and represents a Grand Rapids-based CD. He probably had some idiosyncratic reason to vote against it (in the same way that Ron Paul usually votes “no” on almost everything).
