By Administrator
Having the Ten Commandments removed from an Alabama courthouse is not a tragedy for Christianity, but it is a tragedy for our nation. The fact that our founders were mainly Christians is important because they used their faith to make a constitution that relies on the principles of self-governance.

Property Tax Reform It's Not
