I received the following newsletter in my email, and I am posting it here because I agree with it 100%! People have GOT to make a stand, raise their voices and demand the guarantee of our Freedom of Religion as stipulated in the Bill of Rights.
Here's the newsletter...
"Advocates of same-sex marriage will stop at nothing to make an example of you if you speak out for biblical marriage.
Help stop their plan to intimidate Christians and steal your religious freedom.

You can probably imagine Barronelle Stutzman’s shock when she opened a letter from the Washington State attorney general.
It threatened her with legal action and fines . . . if she didn’t conform to a government mandate.
Shortly thereafter, the ACLU also threatened Barronelle with legal action. Facing fines and legal fees from battling the combined forces of the ACLU and the state could threaten to shut down her family business. So what had this gentle grandmother done to be treated like Public Enemy No. 1?
The answer is simple. Barronelle made a simple decision to follow her conscience, to live out her faith in her work as a floral design artist.
When asked to create floral arrangements for a longtime client’s same-sex ceremony, Barronelle lovingly and respectfully declined. She decided that she could not use her God-given gifts to approve of and celebrate a ceremony that violates God’s plan for marriage. Now, she finds herself at the center of the storm resulting from the movement to redefine marriage in this country.
It is now clear that for advocates of homosexual behavior, this is not about “tolerance.”
Their goal is to compel you to endorse and celebrate homosexual behavior even if it requires you to sin against God.
That’s why we must defend Barronelle. Not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because attacks on her religious freedom are also attacks on the religious freedom of you and all Americans.
Alliance Defending Freedom will defend Barronelle’s religious freedom — all the way to the Supreme Court, if necessary. But we need your help.
We must stand with Barronelle. Not only so she will have justice, but also for all Christians who want to freely live out their faith. If the government and the ACLU can come after Barronelle . . . if they can punish this kind and gentle woman . . . then there is no one who remains faithful to the Gospel whose religious freedom is safe.
We are in a time when people who oppose the homosexual agenda are vilified. Barronelle has received an onslaught of hate-filled calls and letters — and even death threats.
Ask yourself, “How far am I willing to let this go?” Because one day soon, it could be your livelihood . . . or your freedom that is on the line.
Alliance Defending Freedom can only take on cases as we have the resources to do so. We depend on God to move in the hearts of His people to provide these vital gifts. (Apart from Christ we can do nothing, John 15:5)
Please give now to defend Barronelle and protect religious freedom for you and your loved ones.
Thank you for taking action today to preserve religious freedom." |
