Colmes Interview For those of you that missed the fun last night, below is a link to the Alan Colme's article. They invited Michael Newdow onto the show as well since he's the "athiest" who is trying to remove "under God" from the pledge of alliegence. I was told the interview would last 20-25 minutes but it was cut pretty short quite a bit so I didn't get to ask a couple more questions I wanted to. I wasn't nervous, for which I'm grateful for your prayers on my behalf, but I also felt not as prepared as I would have liked for the fast paced format where I had little opportunity to shift the discussion to a couple of points I wanted to make. One of the points I was trying to work toward making came from J. Max Wilson's blog which discussed the proposals for the great seal of the United States. You can read it here: http://www.sixteensmallstones.org/the-united-sates-as-a-theistic-nation My question was going to be, "If Jefferson really understood the separation of church and state to mean no religious influence in government, why did he want the design of the great seal to be the Children of Israel led by a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night?" Oh well, the push to get these posters out will continue. Click here for audio of the interview (zip format--save to your hard drive then open to get to the audio) Utah State Law Here's the text of the Utah State Law and a link to it for those of you interested. Utah Statute 53A-13-101.4 Study and posting of American Heritage Documents (click for full text) It's time for us to band together and stand for something good. Till next week, Oak Norton |
