By Amy Argetsinger and Roxanne Roberts Wednesday, January 3, 2007; Page C03 Rep.-elect Keith Ellison , the first Muslim elected to Congress, found himself under attack last month when he announced he'd take his oath of office on the Koran especially from Virginia Rep. Virgil Goode , who called it a threat to American values. Yet the holy book at tomorrow's ceremony has an unassailably all-American provenance. We've learned that the new congressman in a savvy bit of political symbolism will hold the personal copy once owned by Thomas Jefferson If Keith Ellison, above, takes the ceremonial oath of office using Thomas Jefferson's Koran, will he and Virgil Goode at long last be on the same page? Don't hold your breath. (Mark Wilson - Getty Images) Cast Your Vote It was a great year for Washington dish, with plenty of wacky behavior by our local stars and our visiting VIPS to go around.

And the county's government spent $423 million above its adopted budgets over those four years. The report also makes several recommendations for reining in county spending.

Considering the exclusive right to invention as given not of natural right, but for the benefit of society, I know well the difficulty of drawing a line between the things which are worth to the public the embarrassment of an exclusive patent, and those which are not. As a member of the patent board for several years, while the law authorized a board to grant or refuse patents, I saw with what slow progress a system of general rules could be matured.

Staff Portal You are in: Home Museum Online Thomas Jefferson Fossil Collection Welcome to the Thomas Jefferson Fossil Collection Jefferson is rightfully renowned as the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, the Third President of the United States, and a champion of Liberty. But he was also a central player in the beginnings of American paleontology. In addition, his participation occurred at a time when people were struggling with the ideas of fossils as evidence of past life, of extinction, and of an Earth far older than the Biblical account. Some of the fruits of Jefferson's paleontology became part of the collections at the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia. Beginning in 1849 these holdings were transferred over to the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, where they are currently housed. This is the Thomas Jefferson Fossil Collection. Welcome to this online exhibit. Examine the fossils and explore the science and history surrounding this collection:

Thomas Jefferson Quotes All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will, to be rightful, must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal laws must protect, and to violate which would be oppression. Certainly one of the highest duties of the citizen is a scrupulous obedience to the laws of the nation. But it is not the highest duty. Happiness is not being pained in body or troubled in mind. If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy? It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself. If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. Do not bite the bait of pleasure till you know there is no hook beneath it. We are firmly convinced, and we act on that conviction, that with nations as with individuals, our interests soundly calculated will ever be found inseparable from our moral duties. The will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of any government, and to protect its free expression should be our first object.

Thomas Jefferson Third President (1801-1809) By his own instruction, Thomas Jefferson's tombstone notes his authorship of the Declaration of Independence, his founding of the University of Virginia, and his responsibility for Virginia's Statute of Religious Freedom. But it fails to mention his presidency. That omission, however, does not mean that his administration lacked significance. On the contrary, Jefferson's White House tenure marked one of this country's greatest territorial acquisitions, the Louisiana Purchase. Under his leadership, the country also stood its ground against interference from Africa's Barbary Coast pirate states in the American-Mediterranean trade. Unfortunately, these successes were ultimately eclipsed by the popular wrath resulting from the disastrous implementation of a trade embargo designed to curb British and French infringements on this country's shipping. Smarting from the sting of that wrath, Jefferson thus ended his presidency, regarding it as a best-forgotten "splendid misery." This portrait of Jefferson is a copy of a likeness drawn by Gilbert Stuart during the fifth year of the subject's presidency. Jefferson later described the classically inspired profile as "the best [portrait] that has been done of me."

Jefferson's Wall of Separation Letter Thomas Jefferson was a man of deep religious conviction - his conviction was that religion was a very personal matter, one which the government had no business getting involved in. He was vilified by his political opponents for his role in the passage of the 1786 Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom and for his criticism of such biblical truths as the Great Flood and the theological age of the Earth. As president, he discontinued the practice started by his predecessors George Washington and John Adams of proclaiming days of fasting and thanksgiving. He was a staunch believer in the separation of church and state. Jefferson wrote a letter to the Danbury Baptist Association in 1802 to answer a letter from them written in October 1801. A copy of the Danbury letter is available here . The Danbury Baptists were a religious minority in Connecticut, and they complained that in their state, the religious liberties they enjoyed were not seen as immutable rights, but as privileges granted by the legislature - as "favors granted." Jefferson's reply did not address their concerns about problems with state establishment of religion - only of establishment on the national level. The letter contains the phrase "wall of separation between church and state," which led to the short-hand for the

Thomas Jefferson District, UUA Was Thomas Jefferson really a Unitarian? L ike many others of his time (he died just one year after the founding of institutional Unitarianism in America), Jefferson was a Unitarian in theology, though not in church membership. He never joined a Unitarian congregation: there were none near his home in Virginia during his lifetime. He regularly attended Joseph Priestley's Pennsylvania church when he was nearby, and said that Priestley's theology was his own, and there is no doubt Priestley should be identified as Unitarian. Jefferson remained a member of the Episcopal congregation near his home, but removed himself from those available to become godparents, because he was not sufficiently in agreement with the trinitarian theology.
