MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG'S STATEMENT ON
APPEALS COURT DECISION REGARDING PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
"I strongly disagree with today's decision by a Federal Appeals
Court ruling that the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional. The
pledge is part of our history and our heritage. We are a nation under
God; even our currency says 'In God We Trust.' I am hopeful that the
Supreme Court will not stand for this decision."
