Stop the Separation of Church and State

Dear President Bush,

Many of us were deeply touched to hear you recite a portion of salm 23 in your address to this great nation in the dark hours following the terrorists attacks. We were encouraged and comforted to know that we truly had a believer working with us and for us in our nation's highest office.

We the people of America are requesting that you lift the prohibition against prayer in schools.
As the pledge of our great country states, we are to
be "One nation, under God." Please allow the
prayers and petitions of our children in schools
without the threat of punishment. Currently, adults,
and children in the schools are prohibited from
mentioning God unless of course, His name is
uttered as part of a curse or profanity.
Madeline Murray O'Hare is dead. Let her legacy
of atheism in our schools die with her!

Sincerely , The People of America

Mark 10:13-14 "People were bringing little
children to Jesus to have Him touch them, but the
disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was
indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children
come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom
of God belongs to such as these."

some comments so far (typo's and all):

"I see about every week the aclu tries to take God out of a public place.. I saw where they have removed some Bible verses from the Grand Caynon State Park.If we the people do not start standing up for what we "know" is right, then we and our children have no hope!!"

"Our founding fathers base everything we have on one simple motto in God We Trust. Our founding fathers believe in the one true God Jesus Christ. Pray should be back in school. When pray was taken out of school our morals and values went down hill very quickly. Our Country is now known for how many abortions, murders, teen pregnancies ,sucided and much more has grown into leaps and bounds. let pray be back in our school and you will see a major difference in how our school will act and how our country will stand . A concern Christan"

"I am currently a student, and am greatly religious. I feel that not allowing prayer in schools is horrible, considering that it hurts no one. This petition is a great idea! Im so proud to sign it."

5. "Salm 23"???? Why are these people so illiterate?
You think if they actually picked up their 'bibble' they might at least know how to spell THAT!
