"On November 1, 2011, the House of Representatives voted 396-9 to reaffirm "In God We Trust" as the nation's motto," reads Sullivan's email to city concilmembers.
"Officially designated as such in 1956 by the 84th Congress and President Eisenhower, Representative Randy Forbes of Virginia authored the bill because such notables as President Obama mistakenly state, "E Pluribus Unum" is the national motto."
