I like the original:

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, 
and to the republic for which it stands, 
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Under God was added in 1954.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, 
and to the republic for which it stands, 
one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Another problem is the myth that our kids learn in school every day that
the U.S. is a democracy.  It is not--it's a republic.  

And of course, another problem is the fact that DOE, NRC, OSHA, EPA,
BLM, DOJ, Indian Affairs, and Starfleet Federation all get to have a say
in and write conflicting regulations and opinions pertaining to
something as benign as Yucca Mountain.

  The Nuclear Waste Policy Act is the problem, as explained in the 
attachment.
