As
many of you are aware, the Knights of Columbus submitted to congress
that the words "Under God" should be added to our pledge of allegiance.
Both Houses of Congress passed the law and it was signed by President
Eisenhower in 1954. The information below was based on a pole taken by
NBC on what percentage should keep the words in our pledge verses the
percent who want it removed.
If you read this and agree that "under God should be left in the
pledge, then just forward it to others and you have voted for it to be
left in. If you delete it and don't forward it you are voting NO to
"under God." Easy huh!

This is not sent for discussion. If you agree, forward
it... If you don't, delete it. I don't want to know one way or the
other. By my forwarding it, you know how I feel.
