A bill to insert the words "under God" in the U.S. pledge of allegiance to the flag was introduced in the House of Representatives last week by Democratic Congressman Louis C. Rabaut of Michigan. Congressman Rabaut's amended pledge would read: "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." "Our country was born under God," said Rabaut, "and only [under God] will it live as a citadel of freedom."
