"And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift of God?" -- Thomas Jefferson

"And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forbears fought is still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from generosity of the state but from the hand of God." -- John F. Kennedy

"Because of their belief that power had come from God to each individual, the Framers began the Constitution with the words 'we the people'" -- Newt Gingrich

"There's never been a nation like the United States, ever. It begins with the principles of our founding documents, principles that recognize that our rights come from God, not from our government." -- Marco Rubio

University says it will review policies, ‘make changes as appropriate’



TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida A&M University notified attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund Friday that it has reinstated a Christian student group it de-recognized in January and will review university policies for appropriate changes. ADF sent a letter to the school Tuesday after officials revoked the student group’s active status based on a constitutionally problematic rule that prohibits clubs from meeting, holding events, and hosting functions unless a university-appointed advisor is present at all times.
