DID YOU KNOW?
As you walk up the steps to the building which houses
the U.S. Supreme Court you can see near the top of the
building a row  of the world's law givers and each one
is facing one in the middle who is facing forward
with a full frontal view - it is Moses and he is 
holding the Ten Commandments!
 
 DID YOU KNOW?
 As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two 
huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on
each lower portion  of each door.
  
 DID YOU KNOW?
  As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the 
wall, right above where  the Supreme Court judges sit,
a display of the Ten  Commandments!
  
DID YOU KNOW?
There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the 
Federal Buildings  and Monuments in Washington, D.C.  

 
 DID YOU KNOW?
  James Madison, the fourth president, known as "The 
Father of Our  Constitution" made the following
statement "We have  staked the whole of  all our
political institutions upon the capacity of  mankind
for  self-government, upon the capacity of each and
all  of us to govern  ourselves, to control ourselves,
to sustain  ourselves according to the  Ten
Commandments of God."
  
 DID YOU KNOW?
  Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding Father of 
our country said, "It  cannot be emphasized too
strongly or too often that  this great nation  was
founded not by religionists but by Christians,
 not on religions but  on the Gospel of Jesus Christ".
  
 DID YOU KNOW?
  Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a 
paid preacher, whose  salary has been paid by the
taxpayer since 1777.
  
 DID YOU KNOW?
  Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution 
were members of the  established orthodox churches in
the colonies.
  
 DID YOU KNOW?
  Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would 
overstep their authority  and instead of  interpreting
the law would begin  making law....an  oligarchy...the
rule of few over many.
  
 DID YOU KNOW?
  The very first Supreme Court Justice, John Jay, 
said, "Americans should  select and prefer Christians
as their rulers." How, then, have we gotten to the
point that  everything we have done for  220 years in
this country is now suddenly wrong and 
unconstitutional?
