In God we trust!!!!
I recieved this in my email, thought I'd pass it on.........................
WRITE IT ON THE BACK OF YOUR ENVELOPES
I THINK THIS A GREAT IDEA. I WILL START WRITING THIS ON FRONT OF ALL MY ENVELOPES. MAYBE, YOU SHOULD TOO.
You may have heard in the news that a couple of Post Offices in Texas have been forced to take down small posters that say "IN GOD WE TRUST,"
The law, they say, is being violated. It is something silly about electioneering posters (is God running for office)?
Anyway, I heard proposed on a radio station show, that we all write "IN GOD WE 'TRUST " on the back of all our mail. After all, that is our national motto, and it's on all the money we use to buy those stamps. I think it is a wonderful idea.
We must take back our nation from all the people who think that anything that offends them should be removed.
If you like this idea, please pass it on and DO IT. The idea of writing or stamping "IN GOD WE TRUST" on our envelopes sounds good to me. I'M HAVING MY STAMP MADE TODAY!
It has been reported that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore, I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a mess about having "In God We Trust"on our money and having God in the pledge of Allegiance.
Could it be that WE just need to take action and tell the 14% to "sit down and shut up"?

Re: In God we trust!!!!
This is an urban myth. A partial truth has been distorted. Here's the true story:
Summary of the eRumor
You are urged to write "In God We Trust" on the back of your mail in protest of reports that 2 Post Offices in Texas were forced to remove posters that displayed the nation's motto.
The Truth
According to an 11/17/02 article in the Amarillo Globe-News, this controversy got started when a retired engineer Frank Williamson donated small posters to Post Offices that said "In God We Trust." They were ordered taken down because of a prohibition against displaying most handbills and fliers from individuals. There was a howl of protest. As a result, the Postal Service announced that a poster of its own design would be posted in all 38,000 Post Offices across the country. That was helped by the discovery that a resolution in the House of Representatives in 2000 had been passed encouraging posting the motto in public buildings.

Re: In God we trust!!!!
Actually - 79 percent of Americans believe there is a God, only 66 percent are absolutely certain of it - that means that 11 percent of the population are atheists and 44 percent are agnostics.

My dh and I as well as the rest of my family and we are American Christians never took that poll so I doubt its relavence even if it was from the census not all age groups took itThe percentage of christians in America is probably much higher.
Good ideal to put it on our envelopes,checks and anything else as the occasion calls for
