Restore the Pledge of Allegiance to the original constitutional version written by Francis Bellamy in 1892,
The Pledge of Allegiance is a national symbol, and as such all Americans should be able to freely participate in reciting it, especially students in public schools. However, the words "under God" are clearly a promotion of a specific religious belief. These words, added by Congress in 1954, are in violation of the First Amendment - "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..."
We ask the U.S. Congress to pass a resolution restoring the Pledge of Allegiance to the wording as recited by all Americans during WWII. A Pledge that can be recited by ALL Americans again, especially school children, and that will respect the First Amendment.
