"I am concerned that too many people have lost sight of the fact that America is what it is today because God has blessed this land. They don't even want to mention Him anymore. This country was built on a religious heritage, and we'd better get back to it. We had better start telling people that faith in God is the real strenth of America!" ~Rich DeVos
