Cape Girardeau, MO Sheriff puts "In God We Trust" on patroll Cars.

Officials say the decals were donated by a vendor at the Missouri Sheriff's Conference, at no cost to the taxpayers. Sheriff John Jordan released this statement about the decals:

"In God We Trust is our national motto and has repeatedly been upheld as constitutional by both liberal and conservative supreme courts since its adoption in 1956. Missouri's Sheriffs have United to display it proudly. The vast majority of folks love this patriotic display but for those that don't I have a suggestion. Take all of your United States coinage and currency and trade them in for rubles or yens along with your address and you will see why "In God We Trust," goes to the core fiber of this nation."

This is my home town. I grew up here. I love it. I served in the U.S. Army. I pay my taxes, follow the laws, and vote. I'm a good conscientious citizen. Now my Sheriff, who I voted for (but won't again), tells me that if I don't believe in his God, I'm not a patriot? That I should move to a communist country? Isn't my freedom to be a nonbeliever part of the foundation of the USA's freedom? I've never felt so outcast by my own community. It bothers me that this sort of disregard for others is so prevalent in our society. What give him the right to make this statement? What can I actually DO about it. I've already contacted the ACLU and the FFRF.

EDIT: Added my personal take on the situation. Sorry about the spelling erros in the title, I should have noticed that before I posted.
