Christian Coalition
"Pledge and
Prayer Amendment," HJ Res 46
.
A bipartisan Pledge and Prayer Amendment to the US Constitution was introduced this week by Congressman Ernest Istook, R-OK, and Sanford Bishop, D-GA, with 88 other original co-sponsors. Their amendment would protect freedom of expression while avoiding the establishment of an official religion. Congressman Istook said, "It's important to keep the words 'One nation under God' in the Pledge. Those words bind us to America's Founding Fathers, who believed our rights come from God, not from the state." Democrat Congressman Bishop said, "Rarely have we needed the strength and guidance that Americans have historically gained from prayer and other forms of religious expression more than we do right now, and our amendment to protect and clarify the much-challenged right to express our religious convictions is needed more than ever." The left-wing 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco recently ruled that the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional and cannot be recited in public schools.
