DID YOU KNOW?  As you walk up  the steps to the building which houses the
U..S. Supreme Court you can see  near the top of the building a row of the
world's law givers and each one  is facing one in the middle who is facing
forward with a full frontal view  it is Moses and he is holding the Ten
Commandments!




..
DID YOU KNOW?

As you enter the Supreme  Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the
Ten Commandments engraved  on each lower portion of each door.



DID YOU KNOW?

As you sit inside the  courtroom, you can see the wall, right above where
the Supreme Court  judges sit, a display of the Ten Commandments!


DID YOU KNOW?



There are Bible verses  etched in stone all over the Federal Buildings and
Monuments in  Washington,  D.C.

DID YOU KNOW?


James Madison, the fourth  president, known as 'The Father of Our
Constitution' made the following  statement:

' We have staked the whole of all our political  institutions upon the
capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the  capacity of each and all
of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves,  to sustain ourselves
according to the Ten Commandments of God.'

DID YOU KNOW?



Patrick Henry, that  patriot and Founding Father of our country said:

'It cannot be emphasized  too strongly or too often that this great nation
was founded not by  religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on
the Gospel of  Jesus Christ'.

DID YOU KNOW?

Every session of Congress  begins with a prayer by a paid preacher, whose
salary has been paid by the  taxpayer since 1777.

DID YOU KNOW?

Fifty-two of the 55  founders of the Constitution were members of the
established orthodox  churches in the colonies.

DID YOU  KNOW?

Thomas Jefferson worried  that the Courts would overstep their authority and
instead of interpreting  the law would begin making law . an oligarchy
the   rule of few  over many.

DID YOU KNOW?

The very first Supreme  Court Justice, John Jay, said:


'Americans should select  and prefer Christians as their  rulers.'

How, then, have we gotten  to the point that everything we have done for 220
years in this country is  now suddenly wrong and unconstitutional?

Lets put it around the  world and let the world see and remember what this
great country was built  on.



Chamber ,  US House of  Representatives



I was asked to send this on if  I agreed or delete if I didn't. Now it is
your turn...
It is said that 86% of  Americans believe in God. Therefore, it is very hard
to understand why  there is such a mess about having the Ten Commandments on
display or 'In  God We Trust' on our money and having God in the Pledge of
Allegiance.

If you agree, pass this on.
