Iowa Congressman denounce ruling on Pledge of Allegiance

June 27, 2002 By admin

Members of Iowa’s Congressional delegation are denouncing Wednesday’s federal court ruling in California which found the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional.Senator Chuck Grassley says the ruling is “outrageous,” while Senator Tom Harkin says the decision is “contrary…to the values of Iowans.” Harkin calls taking the Pledge a “simple patriotic act.”Congressman Jim Nussle of Manchester calls the Pledge “a stirring salute to the proud American spirit our flag symbolizes,” while Congressman Tom Latham of Alexander says the court’s move is “misguided and simply wrong.” Congressman Leonard Boswell says he fully supports the Pledge of Allegiance.Iowa school kids won’t be affected but children in nine western states may be banned from making the pledge.
