From Akin's Website:
I introduced HR 2028, the Pledge Protection Act of 2003 (PPA) in response to the decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals declaring the phrase "under God" unconstitutional. My bill currently has the support of over 220 members of the House, including the Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert. My co-author of the bill is a Democrat, Mike McIntyre of North Carolina.
