Dear President Bush,
Myself and others would like you to please not take the Pledge of Allegiance out of schools, nor take the words "under God" out of the pledge. Most Americans, whether religious or not, probably feel that the appeal court's decision of removing the pledge is too harsh. If you start removing anything, which mentions God, you will have to remove much of what America was founded upon. Our currency has "In God We Trust" on it, and "So help me God" is in the pledge taken by new Presidents. "God Bless America" and "America the Beautiful" are beloved patriotic songs which mention God, and the Declaration of Independence refers to God four different times. Congress begins each day with prayer, and the U.S. Supreme Court begins each session with the phrase "God save the United States and this honorable court." God has had a major impact on America's history, and whether we recognize it or not, He will have a major impact on America's future. In the Bible, Psalms 33:12 says, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." Since the Bible was removed from the classroom in 1963, there has been a 560\% increase in violent crimes, 400\% increase in juvenile arrests, 400\% increase in teen pregnancies, and a 200\% increase in teen suicides. Something is wrong when drug-addicted teens are walking our schools hallways, but God is being expelled. The Pledge of Allegiance is a solemn promise of loyalty that we make to our country whenever we recite it. It is a shame that it may be removed from the classroom and that children may soon not be able to hear God used in the Pledge of Allegiance and other American documents, poems, and songs. However, they can hear His name used in vain as a by-word in schools and on television many times a day.
Thank you for reading this. Please take into consideration the things which have been stated above.

- "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Having the words under God in the pledge is not an "establishment" of religion, it is merely an acknowledgement of the faith of the vast majority of our country in a higher being, in God.

- This nations moral and value system was built with regard to our forefathers from the original Lawgiver ,God. If you remove God out of the moral code of ethics, then you remove the reasons for why we exist here and why we have free will.on this earth. Once you remove the Lord out of all things and replace it with wordly ideas and values the moral and value code of ethics is reduced to our own interpretations and ideas of how things should be.,thus excluding God in all matters will only lead to a reduction of morals and values, which our society has built its foundation on since the beginnning of time. Removing God is only going to encourage more evil from man.

- I think the person who filed the lawsuit against the pledge needs to be thrown out of the country if he doesn't like the pledge. Or he could just NOT say it.
