Religious freedom on the edge of a cliff

Mar 26, 2019

U.S. House leadership has already scheduled a full committee hearing on HR 5, which seeks to erase our constitutional right to religious freedoms. For hundreds of years Christians and other people of faith in America have enjoyed respect and freedom - but all that could change!

Right now, we are one bill away from instantly creating a weapon to bankrupt authentic churches, punish religious non-profits, and force indoctrination onto nearly all the children in our nation, in spite of the fact that this often encourages sexual confusion. This one bill could push people of faith out of the public square. HR 5 demands that people either lose their livelihood or bow to the whims of alternate sexual conduct.

This bill is moving through the legislature at an alarming rate! Make your voice heard by standing with me and signing Liberty Counsel Action's petition against this bill! This is not a fight that I can win alone! - Mat

Since my last communication with you, another Republican U.S. legislator has added her name as a co-sponsor to HR 5. Rather than recognizing the horrific impact of this bill, the other side is just picking up steam and adding supporters!

Let it not be said that on our watch we fell asleep and let this happen to America! It is time to wake up fellow citizens, have conversations with neighbors, and rouse the church. Our freedoms are hanging over a precarious cliff's edge -- with hundreds of legislators trying to push them off and destroy them.

This is why we need YOUR help to be an active voice on this issue.

Even if you have never signed a petition to Congress, now is the time to get involved! The anti-religious intolerance embedded in this bill is a shockingly good reason to make your voice heard on Capitol Hill. We make it simple to get involved. Just click the button below, fill in a few boxes, and in 45 seconds you'll be finished! Liberty Counsel Action's petition will be given to hand-picked legislators before they cast their vote.

This bill is already scheduled for a hearing at the House Judicial Committee in the Rayburn building next week. Every single Democrat on this committee is already a co-sponsor of this bill! This instantly gives the Democrats a seven-vote margin to pass this bill out of committee and onto the House floor. Stopping this bill is going to be an uphill battle!

These same legislators have the support of groups like Microsoft, Google, Apple, Wells Fargo, Hilton hotels, Olive Garden, Red Lobster and about 100 other major businesses. But we have a powerful God who is rich in mercy toward our nation.

And we also have you in our corner. Our work to fight this bill is made possible by the donations of people across America. If you care about this issue, would you consider donating to help us stop this legislation? Financial support is the lifeblood of organizations like ours and we certainly need a boost right now to make sure this intolerant, anti-religious legislation is never passed!

I need every freedom-loving American to stand with me on the side of preserving religious rights! This battle is too important to lose. Our constitutional freedoms are too precious to discard. And the consequences of this bill are too devastating to ignore!

Onward to victory,

Mat Staver
Chairman, Liberty Counsel Action
