I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Original
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Revision proposed by Shrub and Chainer (2003 Nov 10):
I pledge allegiance to the Resident of the Military Theocracy of America, pray that the Republic will remain subverted, one homeland security under blessed ghosts and goblins, with chains and sneak and peek for all.

Having had religion forced down my throat as a child by the Pledge of Allegiance, it is wonderful to know that Michael Newdow is helping to finally break the religious grip on this country. To finish the job, we must also remove the religious 'In God we trust" from our money. Separation of church and state is for the protection of both religions and those not religious.Tom
