Thumbs up The Ad Council and the national motto

I just saw a new Ad Council ad which you <a href="http://www.adcouncil.org/campaigns/I_am_an_American/" target="_blank">can find here</a> which starts with people of different ethnicities stating, "I am an American." This one however, ends with a black screen and the following:
Quote:
E Pluribus Unum
Out of many, One
When I saw this, I just said to myself, "Yes. That's more like it." We need to return this phrase as our national motto, and get god out of it. The newer, "In God We Trust," and the "under God" phrase in the PoA are divisive at a time when we need to be united. Anyway, it's a good ad, check it out.

Yeah the first time I saw that ad I remember I was like, "Yes! Finally something that unites everyone in this country."

"In God We Trust" turns some people away for good reasons.
