from the coin and currency of the U.S.
The case is Gaylor, et al v. United States,
Civil Action No, 94 S 1345, pending
before the U.S. District Court for the Dis-
trict of Colorado.
The Department of the Treasury and
the Department of Justice intend to
actively defend against this latest chal-
lenge to the use of the national motto. In
1992, a similar challenge was filed and
successfully defeated in the US. District
Court for the District of Maryland.
There has been some concern that the
phrase will be deleted when U.S, paper
currency is redesigned. This is not true.
The new security design features,
announced on July 13,1994, which are
being recommended include changes in
the paper, ink and design of currency
notes such as an enlaiged off-center por-
trait on each denomination; a matching
watermark; an enhanced security thread
in a different location for each denomina-
tion; expanded use of microprinting in
the design and on reflective material
embedded in the paper, or planchettes;
and interactive, or moire, patterns that
turn into wavy, irregular patterns when
copied. The size, basic colors of black
and green, portrait subjects, historic
vignettes, and inscriptions (i.e., Federal
Reserve Note, In God We Trust, and
United States of America) that now
appear on U.S. currency will not change.

us to see the number of people who

Besides providing entertainment at the

Texas should stop rewarding those who
take defensive driving for speeding tickets

Crime should not pay. But it does tor many bad Texas drivers. Texas Insurance
Commissioner J. Robert Hunter is right to want to stop it.
Here’s how bad driving may have the perverse effect of saving a Texan money by
significantly lowering the cost of his automobile insurance:
A driver (we’ll call him Joe Leadfoot) is ticketed for speeding. He has three
choices: pay the fine, appeal the ticket or take a state-approved defensive driving
course.
If he opts for the course, Mr. Leadfoot will not have to pay the fine. And he will
have the infraction dropped from his driving record. Which means that his insurer
will not know about it Which means that his automobile insurance rates will not
Through Jesus ail things are possible.
Let all God’s people pray for this country
with fervent prayers from the heart.
Through prayers we can turn this country
around.
May all who read this realize the great
out as well. They should realize that God
is the founding Father and Master of all,
not them.

Furthermore, because Mr. Leadfoot has taken the driving course, his insurer is
obligated by Texas law to give him a 10 percent discount on his collision, liability,
medical and personal injury coverage.
Fair? Right? Not...
Mr. Hunter says eliminating the discount for bad drivers would reduce “overall
base rates” by 1.2 percent. It would lower prices for good drivers while “raising
prices 10 percent for those people who take defensive driving to dismiss a ticket.”
Good idea, Mr. Hunter. Go for it. This distortion of the insurance market, this
bizarre reward for bad driving should cease. The Legislature should support Mr.
Hunter. Mr. Leadfoot and others like him should know that speeding does not pay.
