____________________________________________________________________________

i knew this was somewhere in the house but couldn't find it. it is the
ultimate insult to the Constitution in George Bush's continuing and valiant
attempt to 'Christianize' your government.

Federal Register: Vol. 56, No. 24, Tuesday, February 5, 1991

Title 3--           Proclamation 6243 of February 1, 1991

The President       For a National Day of Prayer, February 3, 1991

                    By the President of the United States of America

                    A Proclamation

[this odious        As one Nation under God, we Americans are deeply mindful
phrase was placed   of both our dependence on the Almighty and our
into the Pledge of  obligations as a people He has richly blessed. From our
Allegiance in 1954  very beginnings as a Nation, we have relied upon God's
to 'fight godless   strength and guidance in war and peace. Entrusted with
communism'. it is   the holy gift of freedom and allowed to prosper in a
constantly re-      great light, we have a responsibility to serve as a
peated in hopes     beacon to the world--to use our strength and resources
that it will seem   to help those suffering in the darkness of tyranny and
inevitable.]        repression.

[thanks, George?]   Today the United States is engaged in a great struggle to
                    uphold the principles of national sovereignty and
                    international order and to defend the lives and liberty
[by getting them    of innocent people. It is an armed struggle we made every
killed?]            possible effort to avoid through extraordinary diplomatic
                    efforts to resolve the matter peacefully, yet--given no
                    choice by a ruthless dictator who would wield political
                    and economic hegemony over other nations through force
                    and terror--it is a just struggle we wage with conviction
[that helps?]       and resolve. Our cause is moral and just.

                    However confident of our purpose, however determined to
[by taking up the   prevail, we Americans continue to yearn for peace and for
sword?]             the safety of our service men and women in the Persian
                    Gulf. With these great hopes in mind, I ask all Americans
                    to unite in humble and contrite prayer to Almighty God.
                    May it please our Heavenly Father to look upon this
[which we ain't     Nation, judging not our worthiness but our need, and to
got here?]          grant us His continued strength and guidance. May He
                    watch over and support the courageous members of our
                    Armed Forces, their loving families, as well as the
                    forces of those nations that have joined the coalition
                    to liberate Kuwait and to deter further Iraqi aggression.

                    Today, as we turn our hearts toward Heaven, let us also
                    pray especially for those brave and selfless military
[lucky them? the    personnel who have earned their final rest in the arms of
ulitmate reward of  God. Let us ask Him to strengthen and console their
the death cult      families, and let us remember all those innocent
worshippers?]       civilians, wherever they may be, who have been afflicted
                    by this conflict.

[nice selective     "All this being done, in sincerity and truth," as
quoting of an       President Lincoln once wrote, "Let us then rest humbly in
atheist who con-    the hope authorized by the Divine teachings, that the
sidered things      united cry of the Nation will be heard on high, and
'Christian' a       answered..." by Almighty God, our refuge and strength,
"scheme"?]          our rock and our salvation.

                    NOW THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United
                    States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in
[a complete and     me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do
total perversion    hereby proclaim February 3, 1991, as a National Day of
of both the spirit  Prayer. I ask that Americans gather in homes and places
and the letter of   of worship to pray for members of Operation Desert Storm;
the Constitution    for their families; and for all those innocent persons,
which contains not  wherever they may be, who suffer as a result of the
a single word       conflict in the Persian Gulf. I ask that prayer be made
about any 'god'?]   for American military commanders in the region and for
                    the forces of other nations that have joined in the
[redundant, too?]   coalition to liberate Kuwait. I also urge the American
                    people and their elected representatives to give thanks
[wants to subvert   to God for His mercy and goodness and humbly to ask for
the rest of the     His continued help and guidance in all our endeavors. Let
government, too?]   us pray this day, and every day hereafter, for peace. And
                    may God keep this country as one great Nation under Him
[that's his plan?]  forever.

                    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 1st
[whose 'lord'?]     day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred
                    and ninety-one, and in the Independence of the United
                    States of America the two hundred and fifteenth.

                                         [signed]
                                         George Bush
