The Pledge and The Money

About a year ago, I was paying for something at a store when one of my Tens held things up. The cashier claimed it was counterfeit, they marked it with one of those pens and it was clean, but they insisted it was a fake. I called the Police to get a Public Official involved. The Police officer arrived and when compared with another Ten Dollar Bill agreed it was a fake. The Officer gathered my information, gave me a case number and confiscated the Money. The Police sent it off to the State Department to be checked and verified. Well one year later, after I had forgotten about it, I was called by the Police to come pick up my Money. They explained that The State Department verified it as real and that it wasn't a misprint or anything. So here's the History - Very Briefly:

A law passed by the 84th Congress (P.L. 84-140) and approved by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on July 30, 1956, the President approved a Joint Resolution of the 84th Congress, declaring "IN GOD WE TRUST" the national motto of the United States. "IN GOD WE TRUST" was first used on paper money in 1957, when it appeared on the one-dollar silver certificate. The first paper currency bearing the motto entered circulation on October 1, 1957. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing was converting to the dry intaglio printing process. During this conversion, it gradually included "IN GOD WE TRUST" in the back design of all classes and denominations of currency.

So Until July 30, 1956 The Republic of the United States of America was not a Theist Nation, Especially not Christian.

Don't believe me? Look it up: US Treaty with Tripoli, 1796-1797

And while I'm at it, here's a little on the Pledge of Allegiance:

I pledge allegiance to my Flag,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all. ~ October 11, 1892

I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all. ~ June 14, 1923

I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all. ~ June 14, 1924

The last change in the Pledge of Allegiance occurred on June 14 (Flag Day), 1954 when President Dwight D. Eisenhower approved adding the words "under God".

This was the last change made to the Pledge of Allegiance. The 23 words what had been initially penned for a Columbus Day celebration now comprised a Thirty-one profession of loyalty and devotion to not only a flag, but to a way of life....the American ideal. Those words now read:

I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation under God, indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all. ~ June 14, 1954

So you see folks, The USA isn't Christian, former President Dwight D. Eisenhower was, and made Changes in Direct Violation of the US Constitution and The Treaty of Tripoli.

So if you are a Patriot, take out a Black Marker and Cross Out "IN GOD WE TRUST" from any US Currency you have, that has it, and when saying the Pledge of Allegiance Say it as it was intended:

I pledge allegiance to my Flag,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all.
