Kansas Town Reverses Decision, Will Keep ‘In God We Trust’ on Police Cars

The small city of Haven, Kansas, was bustling Monday evening as residents and journalists gathered for a City Council meeting. On May 3, council members hastily voted to remove the “In God We Trust” decals from police vehicles. But the residents responded to this move with great resistance.

Mayor Adam Wright said he received more than 100 emails from citizens who opposed the abrupt removal of the national motto from police vehicles. Now they packed the community center to voice their thoughts on the move and witness a re-vote.

In support of Haven residents, FRC Action launched a petition last week to inform its nationwide readers of the matter and encourage civic engagement.

Brent Keilen, FRC Action vice president, reports that 19,568 people signed the petition and more than 500 of those were individuals in Kansas.

Carrying a heavy folder with the names of all who took a stand against the council’s decision, the Family Research Council’s Tim Throckmorton arrived at the meeting last night. Since he is not a resident of Haven, Throckmorton would not ordinarily be permitted to address the attendees, but Wright gave up his time for the Family Research Council’s representative to speak.

In his brief remarks, Throckmorton emphasized that approximately 250 law enforcement offices around the country have “In God We Trust” on their vehicles. He talked about the growing concern that God is being removed from the public square at every level and ended by delivering a stack of papers with the names of each of the 19,568 petitioners. The attendees erupted in applause.
