Separation of Church and State The Myth Uncovered by Criminal Defense Attorney

Springfield, MO May 5, 2004 -- How did America arrive at a place where the Supreme Court of our land would hear a case advocating the removal of "under God" from The Pledge of Allegiance? Dee Wampler, a nationally recognized criminal defense attorney whose cases have been featured on Good Morning America, The Today Show, Primetime, and The O'Reilly Factor, tackles head-on the myth that the separation of church and state is part of the constitution. Says Wampler, "Most think, the separation of church and state is in the Constitution. It isn't. It never has been!"

With the tenacity of a defense attorney uncovering facts regarding religion's involvement in government throughout our history, Wampler fights to save our country from a few radicals who desire to destroy the very foundation upon which America was built. He compiled these facts into his book The Myth of Separation of Church and State to provide a concrete resource substantiating the way religion and references to God have been closely intertwined into American government and culture from the day the Pilgrims stepped foot on this soil.

Wampler's credentials as an outstanding attorney began young in life. After attending Drury College and Northwestern University, he graduated from the University of Missouri Law School. He was elected one of Green County, Missouri's youngest prosecuting attorneys. He was awarded Springfield's Outstanding Young Man and Missouri's Outstanding Young Man awards in recognition for his community contributions. Wampler served as President of the Springfield Metropolitan Bar Association and on the Board of the Bar of Governors for the Missouri Bar Association. He has published over 100 articles in various legal and law enforcement journals, and lectures widely on a variety of topics.

Wampler contends that the true history of our country has been removed from public school history books, clouding the truth of how intrinsically religion was woven throughout American society. George Washington said, "It is impossible rightly to govern the world without God and the Bible." Many other writings, sayings, and actions have been revitalized through Wampler's research. He brings to light that political science professors at the University of Houston collected all writings from the founding era to see whom the founders were quoting. The men most quoted were Baron Charles de Montesquieu, Sir William Blackstone and John Locke. Surprisingly the researches discovered that the founders quoted directly out of the Bible four times more often that they quoted Montesquieu and Blackstone and twelve times more than John Locke. Thirty-four percent of all the founding father's quotes came directly out of the Bible. There simply was no issue of the separation of church and state in the way it's been interpreted in recent years.

Wampler feels that Americans should look to the roots of our history for an interpretation of the verbiage of the first amendment and will be surprised to find those unashamed to bring God into every aspect of American life . . . including government.
