“In God We Trust” means “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
We believe in God as the final authority! He is the creator of all things, we have Life. Because He sent His Son, Jesus Christ to die on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins we have the Liberty to choose the course we will pursue seeking Happiness in our lives.
God is part of our culture. Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. The basis of our legal system is the Judeo-Christian values found in the Bible, both the Hebrew and Christian Bible[i]. Christians who founded America saw themselves as heirs to the Hebrew Bible using the Ten Commandments and its moral standards as the basis of the laws serving as a guide for the behavior of a secular society, but recognizing the need for the Christian Bible and the acceptance of Jesus Christ to provide the moral guidance for individuals to live in harmony. Thus, the Holy Spirit is the true guiding light of the American culture. It is a belief in universal, not relative, morality. It is a belief that every individual and America as a nation must answer morally to this God.
Without teaching our heirs the Christian Religion as the basis of the founding of our country we could never expect this experiment in the republican form of government to succeed, for without internal moral guidance the desire for pleasure becomes the controlling influence of individual behavior. We have the freedom and ability to vote for our legislature and leaders. This offers the opportunity for the elected officials to buy votes catering to the desire for pleasure. The result as we see today is anarchy. A few corrupt powerful legislators are extending an unwarrantable jurisdiction over the rest of the nation. The passage of laws providing benefits to specific groups of people and judicial interpretation of legal issues based on precedence without returning to the constraints of the Constitution result in unequal treatment for individuals which is not acceptable.
All laws passed by the legislature should apply equally to all citizens of the United States of America and the Constitution is the standard by which those laws are used to settle disputes in the courts of law. No single judge or panel of judges has the right to change the Constitution or amendments thereto based on precedence.
We accept the beliefs of individuals, and will not question why you have them, as in matters of conscience all men are free. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us. As a Christian Nation we allow you every opportunity to enjoy the freedom and all this country has to offer. This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE and of Right we expect immigrants to assimilate into our culture and visitors to respect our laws, beliefs, and values.
ENGLISH is the language mainly spoken here. If you wish to become part of our society learn the language, do not expect us to accept the everyday use of a foreign language which will divide our culture.
We are one nation under God with Liberty and Justice for all. We are a "theocracy" because we recognize that God is in control of everything. We believe in a judging, loving and forgiving God who holds every individual accountable for their own thoughts and actions. We are not a society ruled by the clergy, state religion or any established religion but we are a nation in crisis.
"When written in Chinese, the word 'crisis' is composed of two characters.
One represents danger and the other represents opportunity."
President John F. Kennedy[ii]
Some might say we have reached a "crucial decision point" that will determine the future of our nation and they would be correct as well for in either case change will occur. Appeasement is the failure to take action when faced with a crisis; leadership is the ability to provide a vision for the future and realize it by taking action.
We are the generation of his future to arrive at the point feared by a founder of the Harvard Law School Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, who wondered if we could survive as a nation if we did not “teach our children about religion and morality as restraints upon the liberal sensual desires of freemen”.
As a nation we have not established our national identity and communicated it to our children or the world. We have removed God from the public square and as a result we have lost the character, the vision and the Spirit that brought 13 states in the wild frontier to the leadership position of the world. Our God given freedom is being taken from us.
Freedom is a wonderful thing, protect it. Take Action

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
