                            DID YOU KNOW? As you walk up the steps to the
building which houses the U.S Supreme Court you can see near the top of the
building a row of the world's law givers and each one is facing one in the
middle who is facing forward with a full frontal view .. it is Moses and he
is holding the Ten Commandments!




                            .
                            DID YOU KNOW?

                            As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the
two huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion
of each door.



                            DID YOU KNOW?


                As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see on the wall,
                  right above where the Supreme Court judges sit,
                      a display of the Ten Commandments!







                            DID YOU KNOW?





                            There are Bible verses etched in stone all
over the FederalBuildings and Monuments in Washington, D.C.




                            DID YOU KNOW?



                            James Madison, the fourth president, known as
"The Father of Our Constitution" made the following statement:


                            "We have staked the whole of all our political
institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the
capacity of each and all of us to gov ern ourselves, to control ourselves,
to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."


                            DID YOU KNOW?





                            Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding
Father of our country said:


                            "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too
often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by
Christians, not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ".


                            DID YOU KNOW?


                            Every session of Congress begins with a prayer
by a paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777.


                            DID YOU KNOW?



                            Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the
Constitution were members of the established orthodox churches in the
colonies.


                            DID YOU KNOW?

                            Thomas Jefferson worrie d that the Courts
would overstep their authority and instead of interpreting the law would
begin making law an oligarchy. . .
                            the rule of few over many.


                            DID YOU KNOW?

The very first Supreme Court Justice, John Jay, said:




"Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers."


How, then, have we gotten to the point that!
everything we have don e for 220 years in this country is now suddenly
wrong and unconstitutional?

Lets put it around the world and let the world
see and remember what this great country was built on.



                            Chamber , US House of Representatives



                            I was asked to send this on if I agreed or
delete if I didn't. Now it is your turn...
                            It is said that 86% of Americans believe in
God. Therefore, it is very hard to understand why there is such a mess
about having the Ten Commandments on display or "In God We Trust" on our
money and having God in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we just tell
the other 14% to Sit Down and SHUT UP!!!
