The www.godoffmoney.com project's ultimate goal is to remove
"In God We Trust" from our money. Stamps won't do it alone, we need your help! The following
items are quick and easy methods for you to directly help out in this cause.
#1 Write a letter to your local community newspaper.
Godoffmoney.com
is a
grass roots project and we need to focus our publicity efforts
at the grass
roots level. Letters sent to local publications with small readerships
are
far more likely to be published than letters sent to major metropolitan
newspapers. The following is a sample letter to the editor:
Dear Editor,
Why does the phrase "in God we trust" appear on our currency?
It is
unconstitutional, offensive to a variety of individuals, and
unnecessarily
entangles church and state. As the web site www.godoffmoney.com
points out,
The United States is a country with a secular
government and a citizenry consisting of a multitude of different
beliefs.
The wall of separation between church and state must be upheld.
It is time
for that phrase to be removed.
Sincerely,
John or Jane Doe

#2 Write to your representative.
In order for American values
such as church
and state separation to be upheld, our legislative officials
need to be made
aware of how important the issue is to their constituency. Follow
the link
below to locate your representatives and send them a letter similar
to the
one above.
This will get you your House Representative

This will get you your senators (don't forget you have two!)
