Oregon rep salutes 'one nation under love,' lack of love results

Oregon representative Carolyn Tomei, a Democrat, says she didn't think "anyone would notice" when she came up with a revision to the Pledge of Allegiance — swapping out "one nation under God" for the groovier, if less traditional, "one nation under love." Conservative bloggers picked up on the change when Tomei led the Oregon House in reciting the pledge this week. Tomei, who is 77, noted that when she first recited the pledge, it didn't include "under God" — that was added in 1954. A spokesperson for the Oregon House Speaker downplayed the dust-up: "My hope is that this is the last time I talk about it." [Source]
