The motto "In God We Trust" did not appear on any U.S. currency until 80 years after the country's birth and 76 years after it was already forbidden in the Constitution of 1708. In 1863 the Christians took the first major step in destroying America's freedom by putting the motto on the back of Florida National Bank Notes. The first United States coin to bear the motto was the 1864 two-cent piece but U.S. dollar bills remained patriotic all the way up until the 1950's during the McCarthy era.
E Pluribus Unum
In 1776, at the beginning of the American Revolution, the first Great Seal committee selected "E Pluribus Unum" as the official motto for the United States. Not until July 30th of 1956, once again during the unpatriotic McCarthy era, was the motto changed to "In God we trust" when President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the resolution into law. Translated from Latin, our traditional motto means "From many, one." A handful of Americans mistakenly assume our founders chose the motto in reference to the biblical story of all life coming from one God. The motto actually refers to the integration of the 13 independent colonies into one united country. The words are also symbolic because if you notice they contain 13 letters. Not only is it legal, it's your patriotic duty. |
First Attempt to Change
Christians have been trying to overthrow the secular country in attempts to force thier religion and only thier religion on to the citzens that live here for quite some time. The first documented attempt regaurding US currency was in 1861 when Rev. M. R. Watkinson, Minister of the Gospel from Ridleyville, Pennsylvania wrote to the Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase a letter that read: Dear Sir: You are about to submit your annual report to the Congress respecting the affairs of the national finances. One fact touching our currency has hitherto been seriously overlooked. I mean the recognition of the Almighty God in some form on our coins. You are probably a Christian. What if our Republic were not shattered beyond reconstruction? Would not the antiquaries of succeeding centuries rightly reason from our past that we were a heathen nation? What I propose is that instead of the goddess of liberty we shall have next inside the 13 stars a ring inscribed with the words PERPETUAL UNION; within the ring the allseeing eye, crowned with a halo; beneath this eye the American flag, bearing in its field stars equal to the number of the States united; in the folds of the bars the words GOD, LIBERTY, LAW. This would make a beautiful coin, to which no possible citizen could object. This would relieve us from the ignominy of heathenism. This would place us openly under the Divine protection we have personally claimed. From my heart I have felt our national shame in disowning God as not the least of our present national disasters. |
