I’m happy to share with you that the In God We Trust Resolution that I introduced this year continues to receive national attention and support.

This week, Renewing American Leadership highlighted my bill reaffirming “In God We Trust” as our national motto. Renewing American Leadership is well-known for being under the leadership of former speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, and for their dedication to preserving America’s Judeo-Christian heritage.

You can read a copy of the bill and a personal note from me about the bill on the Renewing American Leadership website.

Yesterday morning I appeared on CNN's "Faces of Faith" to defend the National Day of Prayer in light of a federal judge ruling that it was unconstitutional. In the segment, I discussed the issue with the president of the group that brought the lawsuit challenging the National Day of Prayer, the Freedom From Religion Foundation.

Congressman J. Randy Forbes (VA-04) released the following statement after the Department of Justice announced that it will appeal U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb’s ruling that found the National Day of Prayer to be unconstitutional.

“I applaud the decision by the Department of Justice to appeal the ruling that the statute establishing a National Day of Prayer violates the Establishment Clause.  Yesterday, in a bi-partisan press conference, I joined 30 Members of Congress and representatives from faith organizations, in calling for the Department of Justice and the White House to appeal and vigorously defend this case, and am pleased that they will do so.  

"I look forward to continuing to work with Members of the Congressional Prayer Caucus to affirm the constitutionality of the National Day of Prayer and to allow religion, faith, and morality into the marketplace of ideas.”
