I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be celebrated with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of the continent to the other, from this time forward for evermore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Today, we commend the introduction of The Founding of America Documents Bill, S.B. 165, sponsored by State Senator Tim Grendell and State Senator Larry Obhof , and H.B. 211, sponsored by Representative John Adams. This legislation will strengthen American Government and History standards in Ohio high schools by enumerating the founding documents into the Ohio Revised Code to be taught in grades 9-12, specifically The Declaration of Independence, The Northwest Ordinance, The Constitution of the United States with emphasis on the Bill of Rights, The Ohio Constitution, the Federalist Papers and the Anti-Federalist Papers.<\/p>\n<p>Benjamin Franklin was asked by a woman as he emerged from Independence Hall at the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention, \u201cDoctor, what form of government do we have?\u201d  He replied, \u201cYou have a republic, Madam, if you can keep it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, unfortunately, curriculum in Ohio schools has placed less emphasis upon our founding documents and our American heritage.  This legislation will highlight those documents of freedom and enumerated rights so that the next generation can carry the torch of liberty that these documents represent.<\/p>\n<p>We therefore urge members of the Ohio General Assembly to quickly pass The Founding of America Documents Bill.<\/p>\n<p>###<\/p>\n<p><em>Ohio Christian Alliance is a non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting Judeo-Christian values in American government.

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
