As a Christian concerned about what is going on in Washington, I was looking for a way to have my voice heard. I found the site www.popvox.com and was disturbed to find House Concurrent Resolution 13 was being opposed.
Christians make up a 75 percent majority in this country, but somehow "In God We Trust" is in danger of being removed as our national motto. I feel that as Christians we can no longer be the "silent majority." We have to start speaking up. Otherwise, when we lose everything and start asking "who's to blame?" we will only have to stop in front of a mirror and point our fingers to find out.
Vote to support H. Con. Res. 13 and keep "In God We Trust" as our national motto.
