STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Four
A RESOLUTION urging the United States Supreme Court to retain the words "under God" in the pledge of allegiance.
Whereas, on June 14, 1954, the United States Congress added the words "under God" to the pledge of allegiance; and
Whereas, the pledge of allegiance affirms that the foundation of American democracy is based on the recognition of a deity; and
Whereas, the Declaration of Independence recognizes the significance of a deity underlying the principles of American democracy; and
Whereas, the pledge of allegiance represents a profession of loyalty and devotion to the American ideals of liberty, equality, and justice for all people; and
Whereas, it is the belief of the members of the New Hampshire senate and house of representatives, on behalf of those they represent, that the pledge of allegiance should retain the words "under God"; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
That the United States Supreme Court should retain the words "under God" in the pledge of allegiance; and
That a copy of this joint resolution be sent to the clerk of the United States Supreme Court and to each of the Justices of the United States Supreme Court.
