Religious
freedom. From the days of the Pilgrims, America has provided a safe
haven--though with lamentable lapses--for the free exercise of
religion.
Recent
events have shown, however, that we can no longer take our religious
freedom and corresponding conscience rights for granted. Consider
that over the past three years, people of faith and conscience have
witnessed:
- the gutting
of the only federal regulation protecting the exercise of
conscience in health care;
- the denial
of federal grant funds for aiding human trafficking victims
because a faith-based organization refused to participate in
abortion;
- the
administration's failed attempt to get the Supreme Court to restrict
faith-based organizations' hiring rights; and
- a coercive
contraceptive mandate that imposes the administration's
ideology on the faith-based and pro-life communities.
Now
you can help stop this alarming trend of trampling religious
liberties--by urging support for these bills that protect
religious freedom by providing conscience protections:
- Use
this form (1) to contact
your Senators to support the Respect for Rights of Conscience
Act (S. 1467)
- Use
this form (2) to contact
your Representative to support the Respect for Rights of Conscience
Act (H.R. 1179).
You
can either just use the email text provided for you, or make it even
more personal with your own custom message.
Right
now, you can also drive home your values in a powerful way--by phoning
or visiting your legislators while they are home during a
Congressional recess.
Thank you for taking time to
put your values into action to protect the religious liberties we
hold dear.
P.S.

legislators, you can also learn more on conscience rights and
