H.R. 3908, The Loyalty to Our Legacy Act of 2007 (1 comment ↓)
H.R. 3908 would direct the Architect of the Capitol to ensure that the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag and the national motto "In God We Trust" are each displayed prominently in the Capitol Visitor Center on a permanent basis and it would prohibit the Architect from removing or refusing to include language or other content from exhibits and materials relating to the Capitol Visitor Center on the grounds that the language or content includes a religious reference or Judeo-Christian content.

T. B.
Don't the reps have enough to do without wasting time breaking the separation of church and state? That's our real legacy. Our leaders should be working to improve the economy, solving the Middle East issues and getting out of there, environmental issues at home, and health care. That should be more than enough to keep them busy.
If some people want a museum that includes "religious reference or Judeo-Christian content", then only private funds should be used for such in a separate building; a publicly funded Visitor Center should maintain our secular founding. Otherwise, it is open to all sorts of religion references, from hate groups such as KKK, to non-Christian religions such as Wicca and Islam, and becomes a lightning rod for such issues instead of an educational center of our pluralistic history.
