I just got a avery disturbing email. Apparently the new dollars that are all the rage, you know, the coins with the President on them, have eliminated the “In God We Trust” inscription. No debate. No public referendum. No nothing! Just GONE! We have taken this separation of church and state too far! It is time to stand up and take our country back! So I am launching an all out war on these blasphemous coins! I will do my part to rid the nation of theses offenses to the Creator! If you come across one, please mail it to me at: 123 Main Street Yourtown, USA 23454 I will see that these coins are properly handled and disposed of! (Snopes is your friend, folks) ---
