If the 9th Circuit Court position is upheld and made universal, that means that Aaron Copelands tribute to the memory of Abraham Lincoln will have to be censored; that we will no longer allow our school children to learn the Gettysburg Address. Indeed, if this position is the following remarks on the floor of the U.S. Senate in response to the ruling by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals that the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional. Last weekend I had the pleasure of narrating Aaron Copelands "Lincoln Portrait" in a presentation by an orchestra back home in Utah. I had not done that before. Aaron Copeland took some of Abraham Lincolns most stirring words and accompanies them with music. Its a great, opportunity for those of us who dont have as much musical ability as others to participate in that kind of presentation. I was interested that one of the things in the "Lincoln Portrait" by Aaron Copeland is a quotation from the Gettysburg Address. When Abraham Lincoln prophesied that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people and by the people and Lets "npv I llT1 A jfhA exists.

It will still clearly be fine for the people in Hollywood and on television to curse people in the name of God. It will only be illegal for someone to bless people in the name of God. The use of the name of deity in oaths of blasphemy are protected under the First Amendment. It is just the use of the name of God in the expressions of believe that these judges wish to strike down, an inconsistency which I hope will enter into their hearts and make them realize just how foolish their decision is. Finally, my mind goes back to die experience in the Middle Ages when Galileo who said that the Earth revolves around the Sun, rather than the Sun revolved owtnmA If you have Medicare or Private insurance, you may be Eligible to receive your, DIABETIC SUPPUES & RESPIRATORY MEDS . nebulizers, albuterol & ipratropium AT NO COST TO YOU!!

It is inconceivable to me that the 9th Circuit should suggest that the generic term, God, is somehow endorsement of a specific religion. It is interesting that this vote that we have just taken, takes place under words carved in marble and gilded in gold here in the Senate chamber that say "In God We Trust." I would hope that the judges on the 9th Circuit would not attempt to send U.S. marshals into the chamber of the United States Senate with jack hammers in an effort to remove that marble from above our entry way. It has been there since the chamber was built. I hope it remains there as long as the chamber remains, the judges on the 9th Circuit to the contrary notwithstanding. As I walked over to the chamber, I came under the flags of the SO states. They are displayed in the walkway of the tunnel that comes between the Senate office building and the Capitol. I noticed that on two of those flags, Florida and Georgia, there are the same words that we have here in the chamber: "In God We Trust." I wonder if the justices of the 9th Circuit wish to order the state legislatures of those two states to change the state flag in an effort to see to it that we remove any reference whatsoever to God from our public Western States Heavy Haul 48 States 53ft Vans - West to Flatbed & Heavy Haul Drivers call: Van Drivers Call: Mid-We- st SAVE 30 Cowboy fun in Payson RED-BL- UE TAN WHITE BROWN SAVE $$-BU- METALMART Your Low BEIGE NOWII Y Expires Not all Lengths in all colors 181 S. 1200 E. 7602 LEHI.UT VISA, MC, DISC Cost "Steel Source Advertise Here!

"Utahns must use extreme caution while enjoying recreational outdoor holiday activities." The governor announced a fireworks ban on all state lands, appealed to local jurisdictions to enforce fireworks ordinances and called upon residents to exercise extreme caution during this exwildfire tremely dry and high-ris- k season. Parents were asked to make sure their children comply with the law by not using illegal fireworks. fireworks pose a serious safety problem not only to the people who use them, but also to others," said Gary Wise, State Fire Marshal. "Every year, they cause unnecessary injuries and property loss." Last summer 833 fires burned 92,284 acres, costing the state and counties nearly $3 million. "Southwest Utah currently faces the most severe danger due to drought," said Joel Frandscn, State Forester. "Already 3,000 acres have burned costing over "Illegal million.

In order to save his life, he did so. He stood and proclaimed aloud that the Sun revolved around the Earth and then, as he stepped away from the place where he had made that public recantation muttered "nonetheless, it still revolves." Regardless of what the Courts may say, the American people still trust in God. As long as they do, it will remain our national motto because it is a correct statement of how we feel.
