Another military chaplain punished by base commander – Please, get involved today!July 29, 2013Dear Conservatives, The Air Force has again censored religious freedom, this time against a chaplain serving at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska.
Chaplain Lt. Col. Kenneth Reyes wrote an essay entitled "No
Atheists in Foxholes: Chaplains Gave All in World War II." Shortly
after his article was posted on his "Chaplain's Corner" page on the
base’s website, the base commander ordered it removed and squashed
the chaplain’s constitutional right to religious freedom. OneNewsNow
story here.
This latest incident is yet another example of
the anti-religious campaign against Christians by the Air Force over the
past two years. Although the military says "all Service members are free to
exercise their Constitutional right to practice their religion," the
evidence overwhelmingly proves the opposite. See the evidence here.
Here's the catch. These are not isolated
incidents. They are a result of the concerted bullying efforts by the group
Military Religious Freedom Foundation.Its leader, avowed atheist
Michael Weinstein, recently met with Air Force leaders at the Pentagon and
urged the military branch to begin a "cleansing" of any public expression
of the Christian faith in the military. Based on recent events, it appears
Weinstein’s demands are being met.
A simple phone call from Weinstein to base commander Col. Brian
Duffy is all it took for full and total capitulation. Shamefully, as a
military leader, Duffy abandoned one of his own men under his
command and waved the white flag without so much as a
whimper.
You can do something to help stop these continued attacks by Air
Force leaders on Christian chaplains and enlisted personnel.TAKE ACTION
We have prepared an email letter you can send
immediately to Col. Duffy, urging him to support and defend the
religious rights of Chaplain Reyes’ by reposting his
essay.
At the same time, you can send a letter to your
members of Congress, asking them to get personally involved in
stopping the widespread religious oppression occurring in the military,
especially by the Air Force leadership.
Those serving in the military, especially our Christian
brothers and sisters, deserve no less than our full support. Will you join
me today by making your voice heard?
It is very important that you forward this alert to your friends and family members.
