Camas resident Anna Miller offers her support to protect the invocation and Pledge of Allegiance at County Council meetings
Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in this letter to the editor are those of the author alone and do not reflect the editorial position of ClarkCountyToday.com.
Wil Fuentes, newly seated County Council member, didn’t take long to reveal who he is. Fuentes, a first-generation immigrant from El Salvador, wants the long-standing tradition of prayer to be removed from County Council meetings. He wants God out. Fuentes later added that he believed the councilors should also consider removing the Pledge of Allegiance. That’s right. The pledge that we say to honor our country, and every sacrifice made for freedom going back to our founding fathers.

Mr. Fuentes are you familiar with these words “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their “creator” with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness-that to secure these Rights, Government are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the Governed”? You may not sir, but most Americans cherish these words.
Put your foot back in your mouth, take a class on the Declaration of Independence and get to work on the business of the people. Also, turn around and look at the American Motto on the wall behind you. In God We Trust.
Anna Miller
