YOU SHOULD KNOW
Somehow the Washington D.C.'s Capitol Visitors Center was
finished without any reference to our Christian heritage.
No "In God We Trust."
No mention of a pledge that contains the words
"one nation under God."
It literally took an act of Congress to get those words etched on the building. There were 410 U.S. Representatives that voted for the passage of HCR131 (House Concurrent Resolution 131) that directed the architect of the Capitol to etch in stone the motto and the pledge. There were 8 that actually voted AGAINST and 2 that only were recorded as "present," apparently not wanting to weigh in 'for' or 'against.' Here are their names:

those that voted AGAINST
JOHN CONYERS (D) Michigan
DONNA EDWARDS (D) MarylandMAZIE HIRANO (D) Hawaii
MIKE HONDA (D) California
JIM MCDERMOTT (D) Washington
RON PAUL (R) Texas
BOBBY SCOTT (D) Virginia
PETE STARK (D) California
those that were merely "present"
SAM FARR (D) California
JIM MORAN (D) Virginia
If you know anyone these Congressmen & women represent, please let them know so that it can be remembered in November!
