IN GOD WE TRUSTNAMERICA, INC. <br /> Our Mission <br /> To Promote Patriotism <br /> By Encouraging Elected Officials to "Vote Yes" <br /> To Legally Display Our Congressionally Approved National Motto <br /> IN GOD WE TRUST <br /> In Every City, County Chamber and State Capitol <br /> In America <br /> Will You Be Part of This Patriotic Campaign <br /> Dear Honorable Elected Officials, <br /> This is an invitation to join the growing list of cities and counties across America that are "Voting <br /> Yes"to proudly and prominently display our national motto,IN GOD WE TRUST, in the Chamber <br /> where we conduct the peoples business. <br /> My name is Jacquie Sullivan. I have been a City Councilmember in Bakersfield, California, since 1995. In <br /> 2002, I led our City Council to "Vote Yes" to display IN GOD WE TRUST, in our Council Chamber at City <br /> Hall. Soon after, all eleven cities in our county of Kern, as well as other cities and counties, in California <br /> and across the country, were voting to do the same. <br /> To encourage this trend across America, we created a non-profit organization named IN GOD WE <br /> TRUST-AMERICA, INC with 501(c) (3) non-profit status. Its sole purpose is to Promote Patriotism by <br /> Encouraging Elected Officials to "Vote Yes" to Display IN GOD WE TRUST in their City and County <br /> Chambers. <br /> On July 30, 1956, during the Dwight D. Eisenhower administration,the U.S. Congress adopted IN <br /> GOD WE TRUST as the official National Motto of the United States of America. Thus, displaying our <br /> Motto is a legal right,protected by the first amendment. <br />
