THE NEXT TIME SOMEONE SAYS THAT
GOD DOESN'T BELONG
IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE...
STROLL through Washington, D.C., with Newt Gingrich to view the significant monuments, memorials, and documents found in our nation's capital, and you will quickly find yourself on a profound and surprising walk of discovery and renewal.
Your first stop will be the National Archives, where Thomas Jefferson's immortal words from the Declaration of Independance that all "are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights," jump off the page with the inescapable truth that from day one in our country's history, the author of freedom was neither the state nor even the Founding Fathers.
Building on the message from his bestselling book, Winning the Future, Gingrish sounds a clarion call for us to rediscover that America's greatness is firmly rooted in out ongoing history as a nation under God.

An Invitation
REdiscovering God in America is my invitation for you to join me on a walk through America's capital city, Washington, D.C.
The walking tour is not just a look at the architecture and beauty of our nation's capital; it is a tour of American history, of the great men and women, the great events, the great documents and great institutions, the great ideas - all shaped decisively by the genuine belief that we are a nation under God - that are at the heart of our freedom as Americans and our identity as a people.
The next time a friend or colleague says that religeous expression has no place in the public square and the discussion of God has no place in our children's history and government classes, you will only need to tell them about what you experienced on this simple walk to remind them of God's role in America's history - and America's future.
Your friend,
Newt Gingrich
