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."
