ALLISON: We’re speaking with Delegate Joe Reynolds, MCP—Ohio. Mr. Reynolds, as a member of the Middle Class Party, you promised to abide by the agenda of ten amendments. Today you swore to add an eleventh if the amendment limit goes away, either by Procedures Committee or by all-out floor rebellion. Why?
REYNOLDS: I was appalled this week reading a leftist position paper suggesting that “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance should be changed to “under gods” or else deleted so atheists and other kooks won’t be offended. Over my dead body, pal. It’s one God, not two, not fifty, not zero, and He belongs in our Constitution. My amendment will enshrine the present wording in the Constitution, and drive home the point that this is a Christian nation, not an atheist one. It will eliminate any separation of church and state.
