Our Heritage


"We,Therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America,in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions,do,in the name, and by Authority of the good people of the colonies,solemnly publish and declare....
And for the support of this Declaration,with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence,we mutually pledge to each other our lives,our Fortunes,and our sacred Honour."
With the 2008 election soon upon us,it's nice to reflect on the history and committment to faith this country once had. Recognize the above? It's a portion of the Declaration of Independence authored by probably the greatest American who ever lived,Thomas Jefferson.
