Liberty Counsel Action
Former Attorney General Edwin Meese, a leading member of President Ronald Reagan’s Cabinet, recently said the Obama administration is “…as close to a monarchy as there’s been since the days of George III.” The President has once again grossly overstepped the constitutional authority of his office with his “contraceptive and abortifacient mandate,” and Americans have had enough.
This latest usurpation is just the tip of Obama’s iceberg of unconstitutional mandates that are emerging during the implementation of ObamaCare. The ObamaCare “mandates” threaten the liberties of ALL Americans and must be stopped! Please read my very important update below – Mat
Conservatives,Our forefathers fought and died to overcome tyranny.
Our Constitution was designed to prevent the abuse of power by any one person or branch of government. It defines and limits the powers of the federal government and binds its officers with the restraints of checks and balances.
For the past three years, America has suffered under the leadership of one of the most dangerous administrations in American history. This autocratic President has trampled the Constitution, seized self-appointed power, and imposed “mandates” that differ little from dictatorial commands.
++Putting Obama’s unconstitutional “ObamaCare mandates” into perspective…
In his ObamaCare “contraception mandate,” Barack Obama is forcing insurance companies and self-insured religious organizations to provide contraceptives and abortifacients to Americans who want to pay for neither.
In the unconstitutional “individual mandate” at the core of ObamaCare, you are required to buy health insurance or pay a penalty.
The “contraception and abortifacient mandate” requires religious organizations, either through their insurance premiums directly if self-insured, to pay for chemical abortions.
In short, the “contraception and abortifacient mandate” blatantly violates the First Amendment’s guarantee of free exercise of religion.
Plus, it also violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, a law which was duly enacted during President Clinton’s term of office. It is an assault on our conscience and collides the government against religious freedom.Here’s the simple bottom line: The mandate is unlawful!
++A “lawless administration.”
President Obama’s “mandates” have not only stretched the Constitution – they have broken it! Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) recently declared that the Obama administration “has become a lawless administration.”
When a President refuses to enforce the law of the land, he has broken faith with his oath of office. He has become a law breaker –in this case, the broken law is the Constitution of the United States.
Sadly, we have seen unprecedented presidential tyranny in practice for the three years Barack Obama has been in office.
++Legislative attempts to correct this alarming situation…Right now in Congress, there are three pieces of legislation making their way through both Chambers that can counter the “contraceptive and abortifacient mandate”:
1.) Senator Roy Blunt's S.1318 is coming up for a Senate vote. Sen. Blount wrote, "This bill would just simply say that those health care providers don't have to follow that [ObamaCare] mandate if it violates their faith principles."
2.) Congressman Jeff Fortenberry's, "Respect for Rights of Conscience Act" has been approved for a House vote. Representative Fortenberry wrote that his Act, "…would repeal the controversial [ObamaCare] mandate, amending the 2010 health care law to preserve conscience rights for religious institutions, health care providers, and small businesses who pay for health care coverage."
3.) Senator Marco Rubio's "Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 2012" is headed for a Senate committee and will, "…repeal a new ObamaCare mandate that violates the religious liberties and conscience rights of faith-based institutions by forcing them to offer employees insurance coverage for contraceptives."
Liberty Counsel Action is supporting the passage of all or any of these bills – which will likely be reconciled into one bill if the individual measures pass their respective Chamber.
I am calling on you to take a minute to tell your elected officials to pass these bills! This is extremely important!
I urge you to take action with us and sign Liberty Counsel Action’s petition to stop Barack Obama’s subversion of our religious liberties and conscience rights. With your help, we will be delivering multiplied tens of thousands of petitions to key Members of the House and Senate very soon.Please, click here to sign:

A recent CNS News headline describes the issue’s urgency: “Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, and Jewish Leaders Swear Disobedience to HHS Contraception Mandate.”
Challenged with the choice of going against the federal government or violating their religious faith and moral consciences, these leaders are standing up to this outrageous new “mandate"!
Liberty Counsel Action stands with these courageous leaders!
In a recent Congressional hearing, Rabbi Meir Soloveichik told representatives, “Freedom of conscience and of religion… is first and most sacred to Americans.”The leaders I’ve mentioned, and a great many more, know the danger of allowing this attack on people of faith to stand. They know this mandate is the proverbial “camel’s nose in the tent.”
I am simply asking you to sign a petition to STOP President Obama’s mandates BEFORE we are forced to make even more difficult decisions.
Please, click here to add your name to this critical petition, which will soon be delivered to Capitol Hill:

I am both pleased by your resolute patriotism and deeply humbled to stand with you against tyranny in defense of liberty, life, and family!
THANK YOU for all you do, and have done, as a key member of the Liberty Counsel Action team!
