I thank the gentleman for his words and his testimony. To conclude, during Faith Month I hope that you will join me in praying for our Nation. Clearly, there has been an attack on our First Amendment right to exercise our freedom of religion and our faith beliefs. Mr. Speaker, I want to say that if you took instinct out of a beehive, you would have chaos. When you take God out of a society, you have chaos also. I will never be afraid to speak up in defense of our faith, our freedom, and for our children. We need to protect the American way of life. We have been criticized by radical leftists, and they are trying to remake America into a Communist, atheist experiment. Our Founders were men of faith, and there are many of us here in Congress that are men and women of faith also. We pray for our country. I encourage everybody to continue to pray for our great Nation. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________
