Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
SACRAMENTO, Nov. 15 (UPI) -- Michael Newdow, the California man who took his case against the Pledge of Allegiance to the U.S. Supreme Court, plans a new legal fight over money.
Newdow told the Sacramento Bee he plans to file a lawsuit this week to get the motto "In God We Trust" removed from coins and bills.
"We are the nation that gave to the world the establishment that government should not endorse religion and everybody should be what they want," Newdow said. "And of all the possible choices, we go with the motto of 'In God We Trust,' which totally contradicts that tradition."
Newdow, who lost his previous case when the high court found he did not have standing to object to his daughter's reciting the pledge because he does not have custody, is still pursuing that legal challenge.
He has also created a one-man show, "Our Coruscating Constitution," and plans a benefit later this month to help pay his legal bills.
