Prior to 1954 the official text of the Pledge of Allegiance did not include the phrase 'under god'.
As the pledge is officially recognized and in fact used to open all sessions of congress the inclusion of 'under god' violates the freedom from religion clause in the constitution.
I hereby request that the Pledge of Allegiance be returned to it's previous format (prior to 1954) by removing the 2 word phrase 'under god'.
