Transforming lives with Good News in the Nation’s Capital
Feb 25, 2021
Thanks to your involvement, our team helped deliver more than 58,000 petition signatures opposing HR 5 to 13 key members of Congress, including U.S. House leadership.
Even if the House passes the misnamed “Equality Act,” we believe we can stop this dangerous bill in the Senate!
If it becomes law, it will—for the first time ever in America—force everyone to comply with a damaging LGBTQ agenda. We absolutely MUST stop the “Equality Act” in the Senate! It will not just infringe on religious freedom in America … it will obliterate it.
Every senator must hear from you now! Demand that they block this bill with your immediate fax. -Your Faith & Liberty Team
It’s difficult to communicate the far-reaching impact this bill would have.
In America, churches and people of faith have always had the freedom to live out their faith. Until now. This bill would completely strip that away.
However, it goes far beyond just applying to your church or business. It governs private homes and dabbling in online sales of a good or service or program! This bill applies to “any gathering” and is not limited to a “physical facility or place.”
If you offer something for sale from your home on Etsy, eBay or other internet stores, then this bill will apply to you and subject you to lawsuits.
This nightmare legislation even applies to any “perceived” slight against someone who was associated in the past with anyone who is LGBTQ. It includes “beliefs.” This means you could owe court-mandated “damages” for something that is entirely in a person’s head.
This opens the door to mind-blowing injustice! The Catholic League describes the “Equality Act” as the “most comprehensive assault on Christianity ever written into law.”"
The “Equality Act” must be stopped! Send a fax immediately to fight against this outrageous bill.
But it gets even more strange.
This legislation specifically includes “Q” in LGBTQ, which refers to both “queer” or “questioning.” This includes someone who does not know if they are LGBT, and about 550 paraphilias. The bill actually uses the word “Queer.”
Pedophilia is a paraphilia. The “Q” opens the doors of churches and schools to pedophiles and punishes anyone who tries to keep kids safe. B4U Act, which pushes its agenda to professors and activists, uses the euphemism “minor-attracted persons.”
We wish this was hyperbole, but it’s not!
We can stop this bill in the Senate. Our team has learned that key Democrats will side with the Republicans to keep the filibuster (which requires 60 votes to vote on a bill). But the Democrats will try to sneak this bill through on a voice vote. We are working to make sure there is always someone on the floor to object and force a full vote.
It is absolutely critical to make your voice heard by every senator! We must fight for our freedom and our children more than ever! Join us in blocking this radical bill with your rushed fax now.
In the urgency of this moment, we don’t want to forget to share a few victories. This year, HR 5 has 16 fewer total co-sponsors than it did last year. Not a single House Republican co-sponsored it. (In comparison, three U.S. House Republicans co-sponsored the bill last year.)
But right now, there are greater threats as well. As the bill progresses to the Senate, at any moment it can be called to a voice vote on the floor. If there is not a member of Congress on the Senate floor to verbally object in that moment, this bill could be passed without notice and sent to Joe Biden’s desk. But here is where we are working to ensure an objecting voice is always present to force a full vote. A full vote would be subject to the filibuster rule that requires 60 votes. So far, there are enough votes joining Republicans to keep the filibuster.
We need all hands on deck. Congress is in the process of criminalizing our sincerely held religious beliefs. Send a fax to oppose the “Equality Act” right now.
We are committed to fighting this dangerous bill. We need everyone to join in voicing opposition to the “Equality Act.”
This is a battle we must win!
