20 out of 20 times it has come before the voters Americans have chosen to protect the sanctity of marriage. 1 women 1 man.


An estimated 40,000 men women and children live in polygamist communities in the US.


Americans per capita give about 3.5 times more money than the Germans, and 14 times more than the Italians.

Americans gave 260 billion-----thats about $900 per person.

quote "Despite all the bad press the liberals and elitist like to give people of faith, the truth is, that those Christian values of tithing, of helping the poor, of seeing the needy-- these things motivate the community of faith to gie and to give genorously and to give above and beyond the call"
