In 1782 the Congress of the United States adopted the phrase “E Pluribus Unum” to be prominently displayed on the front side of the official seal of the newly formed country. It was considered the de facto motto until Congress officially declared “In God We Trust” as the Motto in 1954.
There has been a drive over the past few years to add the motto on every government building. In every instance that this has been proposed, it has divided the community. It has used up countless hours of valuable government time in debate and discussion surrounding this. Changing the motto to “E Pluribus Unum” would eliminate that division.
So we urge the President to make a statement requesting congress consider changing the national motto to the one intended by our founding fathers, "E Pluribus Unum"
