Transforming lives with Good News in the Nation’s Capital
Mar 12, 2021
Our team at Faith & Liberty just got word that Democrats have scheduled a hearing on HR 5 in the Senate Judiciary Committee in the next few days.
But do not be fooled. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) already invoked Rule 14 so he can bypass committees and bring the misnamed “Equality Act” to the Senate floor at any time. Schumer is waiting for the moment to sneak this bill through in the early hours of the morning to avoid the 60-vote filibuster.
We must be on high alert in the Senate. We will soon speak to key Republican leaders on the Judiciary Committee to stop this dangerous bill.
HR 5 is not about equality—if it were, the bill would not expressly state that no religious freedom exemptions are allowed! This is about elevating LGBT & Q and abortion on everyone. This is the most expansive, freedom-crushing bill to ever come out of Congress!
Rush your fax to the Senate and to the Judiciary Committee. —Your Faith & Liberty team
Rep. Jerald Nadler (D-NY) pushed HR 5 through the House falsely stating, “The scaremongering about potential bathroom predators has not turned out to be true.” More fake news! We have scores of instances where male predators entered women’s restrooms to abuse and molest them.
How many girls and women must be abused to placate this LGBT & Q agenda? One is too many!
Every vote in the Senate counts. We must tell the senators to STOP THE “EQUALITY ACT.”
Send your urgent fax to the Senate to stop this bill.
In America, we have protected religious freedom and the rights of conscience.
Until now.... HR 5 would completely strip this away. It applies to everyone—your beliefs and perceptions—to everyone and everything!
HR 5 goes far beyond just applying to churches, schools or businesses. It applies to the internet, social media, emails and websites—even if there is no exchange of money. This bill applies to “any gathering” and is not limited to a “physical facility or place.”
If you offer an item online, the bill will apply to you. If HR 5 passes, be prepared to scrub websites that do not promote LGBT & Q and abortion.
HR 5 applies to any “perceived” (in other words, not actual) slight against someone who was associated in the past with anyone who is purportedly LGBTQ. It includes “beliefs.” This means you could be sued solely for your beliefs.
The Catholic League said the “Equality Act” is the “most comprehensive assault on Christianity ever written into law.” True, but it is not just Christianity—HR 5 will apply to EVERYONE!
The “Equality Act” must be stopped! Send a fax immediately to fight against this outrageous bill.
Churches and religious schools must have the right to teach the next generation biblical values. Without this freedom, churches and schools close or go underground. Communist countries relentlessly target churches to silence them. That is exactly what HR 5 does.
Imagine your children at church or school being taught by a male “drag queen,” and the church and school is powerless to say, “No, this violates our biblical beliefs and values!” Seem far-fetched? It’s not. We actually have a case of an elementary teacher in Madison, Wisconsin, who sent the children K-5 a video telling them to no longer refer to him as “Mr.” From henceforth, they must refer to him as “Mx.” because he is “neither male nor female.” He says he is “both, and sometimes neither.”
If this person, who now goes by “Mx. Steele,” taught your children in your church or school, HR 5 would give him the legal right to do what he did in this public school. Resistance would result in lawsuits by the U.S. attorney general and private individuals for “discrimination.”
The “Equality Act” will force churches and religious schools—pre-K through college—to remain silent and submit.
Join us in blocking this radical bill with your rushed fax now.
Last week we arranged meetings with key senators and counseling experts. This week we will continue our meetings with members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
We must STOP HR 5. And we can do so in the Senate if we maintain our vigilance. We are not just referring to our staff. We’re including you.
Everyone who receives this email must send faxes now to the senators. Some of you may have senators that are hopeless. We understand, but the faxes you send will go to key senators. They are not limited to your senators.
First, there are not 60 votes to get around the filibuster. Second, the Democrats know this, and that is why Schumer invoked Rule 14 to bring the bill for vote AT ANY TIME—even in the early hours of the morning when most senators are gone. Our Senate team has vowed to guard the floor every minute to object if this happens and force a full vote in which the 60-vote will be necessary.
