Mayor Roger Jones of Greene County began a
resolution reaffirming God as the foundation of our national heritage.
Copies of the legislation unanimously approved by the commission were
sent to Tennessee's other 94 county government leaders. Bless you
Mayor Jones! You are a true patriot hero!
"Resolution Supporting the Recognition of God as
the Foundation of our National Heritage"
"WHEREAS, our Government was founded upon a trust in God that began
when our Founding Fathers proclaimed in America's first official
document our Declaration of Independence, that our rights to 'life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness' were not given to us by
government, but by God 'our Creator,' the 'Sovereign Judge of the
Universe,' and,
"WHEREAS, it is a fact that between 90 and 95% of those who drafted
and signed the United States Constitution had a strong belief and
trust in God and never ever intended that there be a separation
between HIM and the affairs of Government, only that each citizen be
free to choose on a personal basis how to worship, or if to worship,
and,
"WHEREAS, the recognition of God by our Government was further
established when Congress, in 1954, added the phrase 'ONE NATION UNDER
GOD' to our Pledge of Allegiance, followed in 1956 by the official
establishment of 'IN GOD WE TRUST' as our National Motto, and,
"WHEREAS, there is now a growing demand by some within the Judicial
System to remove all visible recognition of God from public
institutions, which recently resulted in a Federal Order to physically
remove the Ten Commandments Monument from the Alabama State Supreme
Court, rightfully placed there by the Chief Justice of the Alabama
State Supreme Court to remind all that God is central to our National
Heritage, and His Ten Commandments, without question, the foundation
of American law, moral values and code of conduct,
THEREFORE, we urge all American citizens to proclaim to every level of
Government (Local, State and Federal) its responsibility to publicly
recognize God as the foundation of our national heritage ... LEST OUR
NATION FORGET AND OUR CHILDREN NEVER KNOW!"
