                                    Un-American Laws

It will be Un-American to illegalize to have a Bible or talk to anyone about God. In American history there are the greatest leaders who showed reliance on God. John F. Kennedy, Martin L. King Jr. and Mohandas K. Gandhi are few American historian that mansion God in their speeches. Americana should have the freedom to learn, lean, believe, and rely on God.

            What does it mean to be Un-American? When something is against the tradition of this nation institution it is Un-American." For more than two centuries our fore parents labored in this country without wages; they made cotton king;...We will win our freedom because our heritage of our nation and the eternal will of God are embodied in our echoing demands" (Dr. Martin L. King JR. 181).M. L. King Jr. spoke about God part in helping this country to be built.

            To be American a Law must be in Union with the tradition of this nation institution. To be American the law should convey the message that individual rights are valued. " For I have sworn before you and almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three quarters ago....the beliefs that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state; but from the hand of God" (John F. Kennedy 197).Mr. Kennedy valued human rights not as a whole but as individuals.

            To illegalize the freedom to carry or talk to anyone about God is Un-American. Why? The nation and it people has always upheld God. The United State flag and the one dollar bill have: “In God we trust." Illegalizing to carry a Bible or talk to anyone about God is absolutely un-American.
