| Mathew Staver, Chairman Liberty Counsel Action President Barack Obama and his administration are openly challenging people of faith and their freedom of conscience rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Liberty Counsel Action is calling for the House of Representatives to pass Congressman Jeff Fortenberry’s “Respect for Rights of Conscience Act” which would override President Obama’s “contraception and abortifacient” mandate – but amazingly, the bill has been sidetracked in a House committee. We must take immediate action to stop Barack Obama’s suppression of our First Amendment rights! See my urgent call to action below – Mat. Jack, The “abortion mandate” battle may well be the pivotal engagement in the left’s attack on the Constitution, and it is rapidly escalating! That’s why action by the House and Senate to STOP these “mandates” is so crucially important. Incredibly, the leading bill in the House, Congressman Jeff Fortenberry’s “Respect for Rights of Conscience Act” with 221 cosponsors (more than half the House!) is stuck in a subcommittee! This vital bill is now in the House Health Subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. It needs to come OUT of committee and be voted on by the House as soon as possible! Our representatives and the congressional leadership need to know just how important this bill is to Americans. On Wednesday, Liberty Counsel Action team members stormed Capitol Hill with a petition bearing the names of over 83,000 citizens calling for the passage of Congressman Fortenberry’s bill. That certainly put the recipients on notice that American citizens will not tolerate our religious liberties being trampled upon by President Obama and his sycophants in Congress! Now we must tell them in even stronger terms that we want this bill to move – IMMEDIATELY! ++This is a full-blown crisis for American liberty! Kathleen Sibelius, Mr. Obama’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, has mandated that all employers offer contraceptive and abortion services — including those of faith-based religious institutions, charities, schools, or hospitals holding sincere religious objections to abortion. The ObamaCare mandate requires religious employers to pay directly (if self-insured) or indirectly (through their insurance company) for contraceptives, sterilization, and abortion inducing drugs. This mandate collides with religious freedom and the rights of conscience! The Obama administration has placed its radical abortion agenda above the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. This administration does not care about the Constitution or your rights to conscience and free exercise of religion. And this is only the “tip of the iceberg” of other unfolding unconstitutional “mandates” being forced upon the American people through the President’s ObamaCare scheme. ++Our petition delivery marked “Round Two” of this fight. Liberty Counsel Action will NOT give up until this battle is won! I am calling on Liberty Counsel Action team members to FAX the House subcommittee calling for a FULL House vote on the Act! Right now, Congressman Jeff Fortenberry’s “Respect for Rights of Conscience Act,” has 221 co-sponsors, virtually assuring passage in the House. We cannot allow it to be held in subcommittee – it MUST be passed as soon as possible! Click here to send your immediate faxes to Congressional leaders and committee members calling for a full House vote on the “Respect for Rights of Conscience Act”: http://www.lcaction.cc/6650/ ++This is a powerful message delivery system to Congress! Your pre-written or customized fax letter will be immediately delivered to your Representative, Speaker Boehner, Minority Leader Pelosi, and 14 members of the Health Subcommittee – with additional options to expand your impact and reach many more members of the House committee. Click here now to send your faxes: http://www.lcaction.cc/6650/ Representative Fortenberry wrote that his Act, “…would repeal the controversial [ObamaCare] mandate, amending the 2010 health care law to preserve conscience rights for religious institutions, health care providers, and small businesses who pay for health care coverage.” Jack, I am counting on you to join us in this battle. Your First Amendment rights as an American citizen are being blatantly violated by the Obama administration! I need to know that you are with us. I must have your help in this Liberty Counsel Action fax barrage to get this vital legislation passed and to stop Barack Obama’s tyrannical assault on our religious liberties. Please click here now to get your message to Congress: http://www.lcaction.cc/6650/ As I have said before, I truly believe that the ObamaCare “mandates” battleground we are fighting on may be the toughest political fight we face in our lifetime. Here’s my pledge to you: Liberty Counsel Action will diligently work to get Representative Fortenberry’s bill to a floor vote – and passed! Liberty Counsel Action can help stop the ObamaCare mandates in the legislature and we MUST do everything possible to end this tyrannical government take-over of the American medical services industry! Now, our God-given freedom of conscience is literally also at stake! Please, fax the House of Representatives today: http://www.lcaction.cc/6650/ God bless you for standing on the side of true liberty! Mathew Staver, Chairman Liberty Counsel Action P.S. President Obama’s “contraception and abortifacient” mandate is a war on ALL Americans. For the time being, the scene of the battle has shifted to the House of Representatives. Please fax these key members of Congress calling for the passage of Congressman Jeff Fortenberry’s “Respect for Rights of Conscience Act”: http://www.lcaction.cc/6650/ Then, please help us reach more people by posting the petition link on your social network site or forwarding this message to as many of your friends as possible.
