Preamble by State

Somewhere along the way, Our Federal Courts and Our Supreme Court have misinterpreted the US Constitution. How could All fifty States from 1776 to 1959 be wrong? Additionally, President Barack Obama said while in Turkey: "We are no longer a Christian Nation."

America's founders did not intend for there to be a separation of God and state, as shown by the fact that all 50 states acknowledge God in their state constitutions:
