County To Place "In God We Trust" On Court House

In Yadkin County, North Carolina last Thursday, the Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to put the National motto, "In God We Trust", on the north and west sides of the county courthouse. According to the Winston-Salem Journal, two people spoke against the move, but to no avail. After the vote, may of the 100 people present clapped and said "Amen". The U.S. Motto Action Committee will pay the $1500 cost of the display. David C. Gibbs Jr., founder of the Christian Law Association ("CLA"), has agreed to defend Yadkin County, without charge, against any lawsuits filed over the display of the motto. CLA's purpose is "to provide legal assistance to Bible-believing churches and Christians who are experiencing legal difficulty in practicing their religious faith because of governmental regulation, intrusion, or prohibition of one form or another," according to its Web site.
