Dear Honorable Elected Officials,
This is an invitation to join the growing list of cities and counties that are ''Voting Yes" to
proudly and prominently display our national motto, IN GOD WE TRUST, in and on their
governmental buildings.
My name is Rick Lanier and I am the Co-Founder and Vice Chairman of the US MOTTO
ACTION COMMITTEE. I served as a County Commissioner of Davidson County in
Lexington, NC from 1998 to 2002. In 2002, I led my board of Commissioners to
"Vote Yes", to display IN GOD WE TRUST, on the exterior our Governmental Center. Soon
after that several other surrounding cities and counties joined us in doing the same.
To encourage this we formed the US MOTTO ACTION COMMITTEE. Its sole purpose is to
promote patriotism by encouraging elected officials to "Vote Yes" to display IN GOD WE
TRUST in and on their governmental Buildings.
Displaying the Motto gives ceremonial honor to public occasions and expresses
confidence in our society. These words have been used on US Currency since 1864. This
inspiring slogan is engraved above the entrance of the US Senate Chamber as well as
above the Speaker's Seat in the US House of Representatives. On July 30, 1956, during
the Dwight D. Eisenhower administration, the U.S. Congress adopted IN GOD WE
TRUST as the official National Motto of the United States of America. Thus, displaying
our Motto is a legal right, protected by the first amendment.
On November 1, 2011 the U.S. House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly, 396 -9,
to reaffirm IN GOD WE TRUST as our nation's motto. Congressman Randy Forbes, of
Virginia , sponsored the resolution, in part, because some have mistakenly stated that
"E Pluribus Unum" is our national motto. Most importantly, the resolution specifically
encourages the placement of the motto in and on all government buildings from
courthouses to school classrooms. A recent survey shows that 87% of all Americans still
support the display of our National Motto.
In times of both war and peace, these words have been a profound source of strength and
guidance to many generations of Americans.
As a grassroots patriotic movement, the US MOTTO ACTION COMMITTEE stands on solid
legal ground. Since Davidson County paved the way, not one legal challenge has been
raised against any city or county that has "Voted Yes." This effort is legal and there is
nothing to challenge!
We are very pleased to announce that we are having an overwhelming success with the
counties and cities that are readily voting "Yes " to display IN GOD WE TRUST, in or on
their Government Building.
Elected officials like you, are s howing a commitment to the values that our country was
founded upon.

The purpose of this letter is to urge you to place us on your next possible meeting
agenda. It would be our pleasure to incur the full cost of this display.
Finally, we welcome you to call or contact us personally with any
questions or encouragement we can provide.
Thank you, Rick Lanier
Please distribute this "Letter of Invitation"
to your Elected Officials and other appropriate staff members via their in box or e-mail
Thank You.
