  • In God We Trust” Originated from a Columbia County President Judge
    “IN GOD WE TRUST” ORIGINATED FROM A COLUMBIA COUNTY PRESIDENT JUDGE By André Dominguez The following excerpt from a 1937 WPA booklet in the Society’s Depression-era Works Progress Administration collection makes some interesting claims: Fifteen judges have filled the office of President Judge in Columbia County since the formation of the county from a part of Northumberland, by Act of Assembly of March 22, 1813. Two of the judges later became state Supreme Court Justices and one became governor of Pennsylvania. One of the judges of the county courts, Judge Ellis Lewis, appointed in 1833, later became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Judge Warren J. Woodward, who served as judge from 1856 to 1861 became a Justice of the Supreme Court and Judge James Pollock, who was appointed in 1851 later became Governor of Pennsylvania. Judge Pollock served in many public offices and was director of the mint at Philadelphia. He was the originator of the motto ‘In God We Trust’ that continues to appear on United States coins. At first glance it would appear that a local Columbia Countian, James Pollock, had become very well accomplished, but I could not recall that the county had produced a governor or that the famous motto had its origins in Columbia County. WPA booklets have a wealth of information, but although usually correct, they rarely include any citations to indicate their sources. The claim that someone associated with Columbia County originated a motto that appears on U.S. currency used by millions of people around the world seemed pretty bold.

If, § 4. Although the constitution mentions only a seal and a flag, the Florida Legislature has designated many other state symbols, including: a state flower (the orange blossom - adopted in 1909); bird (mockingbird - 1927); song ("Old Folks Home" - 1935); tree (sabal palm - 1.953); beverage (orange juice - 1967); shell (horse conch - 1969); gem (moonstone - 1970); marine mammal (manatee - 1975); saltwater mammal (dolphin - 1975); freshwater fish (largemouth bass - 1975); saltwater fish (Atlantic sailfish - 1975); stone (agatized coral - 1979); reptile (alligator - 1987); animal (panther - 1982); soil (Mayakka Fine Sand - 1989); and wildflower (coreopsis - 1991).

    The Florida Senate BILL ANALYSIS AND FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT (This document is based on the provisions contained in the legislation as of the latest date listed below.) Prepared By: The Professional Staff of the Transportation Committee BILL: CS/SB 222 INTRODUCER: Transportation Committee and Senator Wise SUBJECT: License Plates/County/State Motto/Sunshine State DATE: March 18, 2008 REVISED: ANALYST STAFF DIRECTOR REFERENCE ACTION 1. Davis Meyer TR Fav/CS 2. CA 3. TA 4. 5. 6. Please see Section VIII. for Additional Information: A. COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE..... X Statement of Substantial Changes B. AMENDMENTS........................ Technical amendments were recommended Amendments were recommended Significant amendments were recommended I. Summary: This bill allows county tax collectors, as agents of the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV), to issue a new state license plate that includes the state motto (“In God We Trust”). This bill would allow drivers the choice of having the official state motto at the bottom of their license plate rather than the county name or state nickname (“Sunshine State”). This optional plate would be a standard plate, not a specialty plate. Drivers would not be required to pay any additional fees, and standard license plate fees would apply. Current Florida law requires the license plate be imprinted with the word "Florida" at the top and the name of the county in which it is sold, or the state nickname, “Sunshine State” at the bottom. Counties may, upon majority vote of the county commission, elect to have the county name removed from the license plates sold within that county.

INTRODUCTION On a September morning in 1814, as the smoke settled from a battle the night before, the sun rose in the eastern sky, and the morning dew began to dissipate, Frances Scott Key, inspired by a flag that remained flying through the night, wrote what would become the United States National Anthem.1 The fourth stanza, in particular, is often claimed to herald for the first time what would develop into the phrase “In God We Trust.”2 It states in part, Blest with vict’ry & peace may the heav’n-rescued land Praise the Power that hath made & preserv’d us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just.

BILLS: SB 1494 REFERENCE ACTION ANALYST STAFF DIRECTOR 1) Governmental Operations Committee 7 Y, 0 N Brown Williamson 2) State Administration Council Brown Bussey 3) 4) 5) SUMMARY ANALYSIS The bill makes the phrase “In God We Trust” the official motto of the State of Florida. This document does not reflect the intent or official position of the bill sponsor or House of Representatives. STORAGE NAME: h1145b.SAC.doc DATE: 3/27/2006 FULL ANALYSIS I. SUBSTANTIVE ANALYSIS A. HOUSE PRINCIPLES ANALYSIS: The bill does not appear to implicate any of the House Principles. B. EFFECT OF PROPOSED CHANGES: History The Department of State’s Office of Cultural and Historical Programs provides the following history of the Seal of the State of Florida:1 The elements and basic design instructions for Florida's State Seal were established by the Legislature in 1868. Early that year, Florida's newly adopted State Constitution had directed that: "The Legislature shall, at the first session, adopt a seal for the state, and such seal shall be the size of an American silver dollar, but said seal shall not again be changed after its adoption by the Legislature."2 So the Legislature, acting quickly upon the mandate, passed and sent to Governor Harrison Reed a Joint Resolution on August 6, 1868 specifying "That a Seal of the size of the American silver dollar, having in the center thereof a view of the sun's rays over a high land in the distance, a cocoa tree, a steamboat on water, and an Indian female scattering flowers in the foreground, encircled by the words, 'Great Seal of the State of Florida: In God We Trust', be and the same is hereby adopted as the Great Seal of the State of Florida." Some people also consider the "In God We Trust" phrase the State Motto, although there is no official designation of a State Motto in the Florida Statutes.

SUMMARY: HB 915 directs the superintendent of schools in each school district to: Provide for the display of the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST” on an appropriately framed background; with minimum dimensions of 11 inches by 14 inches; in each classroom, school auditorium, and school cafeteria. The bill defines “classroom” as any room in a public school where instruction takes place. “IN GOD WE TRUST” became the national motto of the United States in 1956 by an act of Congress. All United States currency bears the motto. The motto is inscribed directly above and behind the Speaker’s Chair in the United States, House of Representatives Chamber. “IN GOD WE TRUST” is also the state motto of Florida, and it is inscribed on the state seal of Florida. Proponents support this bill as a way to increase patriotism and national unity. Opponents assert that the bill is a mandate on teachers and attempts to interject religion into the classroom. This bills does not appear to have a fiscal impact on state or local governments; however, school districts will be impacted. The Department of Education estimates that the cost to implement this bill is approximately $616,110.

  • In God We Trust: the Cultural and Social Impact of Affinity Fraud in The
    "IN GOD WE TRUST": THE CULTURAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT OF AFFINITY FRAUD IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCH DAVID E. AUSTIN* I. INTRODUCTION TO THE PROBLEM Across the United States, millions of dollars are being stolen from innocent churchgoers by con artists claiming to share in their religious beliefs. Far from a paranoid conspiracy theory, affinity fraud has posed a significant harm to churches and congregations, specifically those with high percentages of minorities, and the dramatic rise in incidents of affinity fraud over the past several years' has become a major concern for securities regulators at both federal and state levels. In a typical affinity fraud scheme, perpetrators target other members of the same racial, religious or ethnic group by creating an illusion of a shared allegiance or affinity to a common cause or experience. 2 Because the trust implicit among members of a particular religious or ethnic group can be especially strong if the members of that group consider themselves to be socially marginalized, affinity fraud is a particularly effective scam in minority groups with a like the African American documented 3 history of oppression, community. * David E. Austin. B.A., University of Pennsylvania. J.D. Candidate, University of Maryland School of Law, 2005. I would like to thank Lisa Fairfax, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Maryland School of Law and Lucy Cardwell for their information and help. I would also like to thank Roy Albert for his comments when revising this article. 1. The North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) has ranked affinity fraud as the fifth most common scam, based on data received from state securities regulators.
