I received the following excerpts\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>in an E-mail message.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 They are drawn from the Preamble, a Clause, or Bill of Rights of our State Constitutions.
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

They are compelling witness to, and confirmation of, the true foundation<\/em> of the United<\/em> States of America:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Our Nation is founded upon the Common Law, derived from the Ten Commandments of The Holy Bible of Almighty God.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

History further supports
\n–<\/span> AND WE KNOW –<\/span>
\nThe God acknowledged in each of these excerpts,
\nIS<\/em> THE GOD OF THE BIBLE:
\nT<\/span><\/span>he
\nOne True God,<\/span>
\nCreator of the Universe
\nand ALL that is therein.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
