The military is proceeding to punish a Master Sergeant for his refusal to agree that same-sex liaisons are accepted by Christians. This letter brings up that matter and I find the military's position to be disgusting!
The Letter
Dear Joseph,
I write to you on a matter of great urgency. After reading this letter, please sign this petition to Acting Secretary of the Air Force Eric Fanning.
Today,
I learned that the Air Force chain of command at Lackland Air Force
Base (San Antonio, TX) has read Senior Master Sergeant Phillip Monk his Miranda rights. This is a serious matter. When a member of the armed forces is Mirandized it is a strong indication that those officials believe there has been a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
As you may recall, Sgt. Monk was relieved of his duties on June 25th
when he refused to agree with his openly lesbian commanding officer,
Maj. Elisa Valenzuela, that a subordinate's
expression of opposition to
same-sex marriage constituted discrimination. Later, on August 20th Sgt. Monk filed a petition for redress with Valenzuela under the UCMJ (Article 138).
As I understand it, Sgt Monk is now under investigation for making false official
statements (UCMJ 107) for stating publicly and to the press that he
believed he was being discriminated against due to his Christian
beliefs. These are not even official statements, friends. These are
trumped up charges.
This
investigation is nothing more than intimidation. The Air Force is
telling Christian service members that if you are a target of religious
discrimination, you must remain silent about it or risk court martial.
Sign our petition
to Acting Secretary of the Air Force Eric Fanning as we ask him to
intervene immediately and protect the religious liberties of all service
members -- not just Senior Master Sergeant Monk alone.
Sincerely,
Lt. Gen. (US Army-Ret.) William "Jerry" Boykin
Executive Vice President
