No 'God' On Capitol Flags

The U.S. Capitol Architect won't allow 'God' to be mentioned in certificates of authenticity accompanying flags flown over the Capitol or bought by constituents. U.S. Rep. Dave Camp is leading the charge against the architect's decision:
"This is as insulting as it is absurd," Camp said in a prepared statement. "The architect has gone way too far. If we can put 'in God we trust' on our money, then we can certainly put it on a flag certificate when a citizen wants it there."

"I can't believe the U.S. House of Representatives can pass a resolution recognizing the Muslim holiday of Ramadan, which we did this week, but can't send out certificates with the word 'God' on them," Camp said. "It doesn't make any sense. The policy needs to be changed."
He and dozens of other lawmakers are planning to send a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi to review the policy. It might help if you called your reps and told them your thoughts, as well.

There's my two cents.
