“I thank my colleague, the great Congresswoman from Illinois (Mrs. Miller), for her leadership on this all-important issue, this all-important opportunity to discuss the importance of faith. We are so privileged to live in a country where our right to worship or to not worship, our right to practice our faith or not to practice, to believe or not to believe, is protected, literally enshrined in our Constitution in the First Amendment to the Constitution.

They prayed together and asked for wisdom and courage. They certainly showed that as patriots when they fought for our freedom some 250 years ago from, at that time, the world's greatest economic and military power. Our Founders fought for our freedom. They risked everything. I have a painting in my office, an artist's rendering, of George Washington, as general of the Continental Army, praying, seeking wisdom, seeking protection, seeking courage in the battle for our independence, for our freedom.

Who were the Founders? Most of them were Christians. Most of them were Bible-believing Christians.…”
