What do child welfare organizations like Lutheran Community Services and Catholic Charities have to do with religious colleges and relief services like the Salvation Army? All are being threatened by the Obama Administration to recognize same-sex marriage or face losing their ability to participate in federal programs or apply for federal grants. Our Founders envisioned a nation where the moral and religious beliefs of individuals, faith-based organizations, and business owners would be protected. Not a nation where one's convictions about marriage could be used as a disqualifying factor for interaction with the federal government. To stop the federal government from discriminating against people because of their beliefs in marriage, Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) will be introducing the Marriage and Religious Freedom Act (MARFA) in the Senate. Simply put, MARFA would prohibit the federal government from penalizing persons for their personal moral or religious beliefs in natural marriage in areas such as federal employment, grants, contracts, tax treatment, and other programs. Representative Raúl Labrador (R-Idaho) plans to introduce the companion bill in the House. Government should not push organizations and individuals out of the public square simply because they believe in marriage between a man and a woman. Contact your Members of Congress to urge their cosponsorship of this critical legislation today. Sincerely, Tony Perkins President P.S. Please forward this email to at least one friend. |
