In God We Trust, But Congress Must Be Watched!

A MESSAGE FROM SPEAKER NEWT GINGRICH

Finally, there is some good news. Last Thursday, the US House passed H.Con.Res. 131 directing the Architect of the Capitol to engrave the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag and the National Motto of "In God We Trust" in the Capitol Visitor Center (CVC).

During construction of the Capitol Visitor Center, both “In God We Trust” and the pledge were omitted, and the House Architect refused to have them added. We were very vocal about the omissions and worked to have both included. The words “In God We Trust” were added just prior to the opening, but the Pledge of Allegiance was not. The Pledge is the only set of common words that both the House and the Senate recite to begin their legislative day.

Now, you wouldn’t think so, but it actually took an act of Congress to get the House Architect to engrave the Pledge of Allegiance in the Capitol Visitor Center.

But, there is still more to be done. The CVC is replete with missing information, omissions and falsifications. Most notably missing is a tribute to America’s Godly Heritage.

For decades, the secular, liberal left has tried to eliminate God from the public square.

That’s a sad fact that I’m sure I don’t have to convince you of.

It cost $621 million taxpayer dollars – your money! – to build a “Capitol Visitor Center” – one that completely ignores the faith of our Founding Fathers and tries to erase the role that God had in the establishment of our country and our government.

In fact, we wrote a report about our findings. I’d like to send you that report.

The result of this whitewashing of history is a Capitol Visitor Center (CVC) that is filled with historical inaccuracies and liberal biases.

As a former history professor and the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, I’m dismayed by this abuse of our tax dollars and this abuse of the public trust.

As I mentioned, already, the House Architect and the Capitol Preservation Commission had to be forced to include the national motto – “In God We Trust” – in the Capitol Visitor Center.

That’s right, originally, the designers of the CVC had even scrubbed our national motto from its displays and attempted to replace it by misidentifying E Pluribus Unum as the national motto. Apparently, the reference to God was too offensive to some.

But thanks in large part to the public outcry our campaign raised, the Commission in charge of CVC content relented and corrected the displays. Then we fought to add the Pledge of Allegiance and won.

But sadly, these are just two of many examples of anti-religious bias and historically-incorrect content in the $621 million CVC.

In other areas, important quotes from our founding fathers and founding documents were craftily edited to remove references to “religion” and “morality.”

One member of Congress called the CVC a $621 million shrine to Political Correctness. But unfortunately, he is in the minority.

In one display, the text of the Constitution itself was edited to remove the phrase “in the year of our Lord!”

And religion isn’t the only victim of the CVC’s bias.

Read the Report.

Time after time, displays were edited to insert liberal ideology into crucial moments and documents concerning our nation’s founding.

Broad “editorial license” was taken to imply that the Constitution and the founding fathers endorsed the big-government excesses that today’s liberal politicians have become so fond of.

Think about that. Thousands of visitors to the Capitol each day will be indoctrinated with a liberal worldview about our government the Founders never intended or imagined. At the same time, they will not appreciate or understand our Godly heritage which made our country great.

I could go on and on about the bias and inaccuracies of the Capitol Visitor Center, but I’m afraid it would take too much of your time.

In fact, through our organization “Renewing American Leadership,” we’ve put together a 23 page report that details all of the problems with the new Capitol Visitor Center.

Renewing American Leadership is built on the bedrock values of: integrity, faith, perseverance, accountability, freedom, stewardship, and servant leadership.

By forgetting our heritage, and ignoring the fundamental founding principles, America risks losing its status as leader of the free world.

Sadly, I think many of the liberals in Washington and in the media would like nothing more than to see this happen. In fact, it’s already happening. The Left has been re-writing our history in our schools, in the press, and now in places like the Capitol Visitor Center.

But we don’t intend to let them get away with it. That’s why I’m sending you this warning today.

If you’re interested in supporting our work and reading about all of the examples we’ve uncovered I’d be happy to send you a copy of our shocking report. -- https://secure.conservativedonations.com/real_dvdoffer/?a=2724

Our hope is to get this report into as many American hands as possible in order to expose the truth and get concerned citizens like you to take action.

I’m hoping I can count on you to help us in this effort.

Believe me, public outcry can have a very positive influence on official actions, and I know that if we can gather enough Citizen Demands, we can get these outrageous omissions and errors corrected.

I hope you will support our work to distribute this shocking 23 page report to as many concerned American citizens as possible.

So can I count on you to support this, and all of our important projects, with your gift of $25, $50 or more?

Please know that every dollar will be put to use in our efforts to restore America’s traditional values, so if you can give even more – perhaps $100, $500 or even $1000 – I hope you will.
