Hi Friends,
   Sorry, but I have limited time today and need to drive a piece to have something done.  But below is an important notice and another reminder how 'Congress Critters' love to slip something important by without the general masses of citizenry grasping the dire consequences of losing our basic Constitutional Freedoms and Liberties!!   Freedom of Speech and Religion.  
    Some folks like to play with snakes and other dangerous vermin,  but I don't!   Beware, Wake up, and pay attention, please.   This is how whole nations have been dupped and lost everything dear and precious.   Our forefathers bled and died to hand down important Freedoms that were lost in Europe, etc., and then came to America to build a better life.  And that is also the story of my people who migrated from Northern Europe to seek religious freedom, etc.
     Perhaps I cannot give my grandkids all that I want, but I did fight for liberty and freedom when I was age 19-21, U.S. Army and overseas... but now old and disabled.   Like, who will take over me now without bleeding me dry and demanding ALL MY INCOME AND SAVINGS....Ha!  The KJV Bible says:  'that our relatives will turn against us and fleece us, while dear friends will protect us, pure, honest, Christian friends.'  My pretty wife, Lori loves to read and study the Bible with me for a half hour or hour at a time to make things fun, interesting and exciting.   My Lord has blessed me.

A word to the wise shall be sufficient.   Colour me gone, mates.  I use 'spell check' a lot these days.

Warm Regards, and Bear Hugs,
Tommy Schuckman  

The threat from HR 5 goes much deeper than previously exposed. In a thorough analysis of the bill today, I made a shocking discovery. It goes far beyond preventing any religious exemption to gender identity and orientation claims. It will completely erase ALL religious exemptions to ANY non-discrimination claim, not just LGBT! Below, I’ll show you the consequences of this. But first I’m urgently asking you to support our fight against this dangerous bill. People like Selina (who I mentioned to you yesterday) are just the first to experience the pain of policies like this. Donations from people like you are what allows us to build a powerful wall to stop HR 5. - Mat

&FIRSTNAME;,

It was chilling to listen to government leaders discuss this so-called “Equality Act.” The chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), claimed that the current balance between religious freedom and non-discrimination will be maintained. He gave the example that Jewish rabbis could keep their male-only requirements. But this is a bald-faced lie about the true impact of this bill.

Our legal team looked at HR 5. It inserts the clause (banning religious exemptions) in a way that reflects back onto all of the protected groups in the current non-discrimination statement, which includes religion. The result is that churches and religious organizations will be forced to hire people opposed to their faith.

• Colleges could not require students or teachers adhere to their statement of faith.
• Churches could be forced to take atheists on their missions trips.
• Women could demand to be rabbis, imams, and pastors of conservative church denominations.
• Overnight trips could not be segregated into rooms by biological gender.
• Gender-specific meetings within churches or club membership would become open to anyone.
• Cross-dressers could demand that they be greeters, ushers, Sunday School teachers 

HR 5’s sponsor, Rep. David Cicilline (D-NJ) made a contradictory statement saying HR 5 “does not eliminate RFRA” (which is our current law protecting religious freedom) But that is not true. Cicilline immediately admitted, “It simply says you may not use RFRA.” However, making a law unusable does destroy and eliminate that law’s power.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) gave an emotional defense, saying this ban of religious exemptions “will be used as a sword to strike down our religious freedoms, because the words here have meaning...these words will be given the meaning they actually have and it will destroy...the First Amendment.”

Liberty Counsel Action will not stand by and do nothing while members of Congress are saying HR 5 will destroy our religious freedom. We are preparing to hand-deliver your names, and the thousands of others we have gathered, to key congressional leaders to stop HR 5 in its tracks. I am looking for thousands more to add their names. Please forward this email to anyone else who wants to protect religious freedom.

My vision is to combine Liberty Counsel Action’s dynamic work on Capitol Hill with empowering every person to be an educated and articulate defender of our values. One small example of this is yesterday I was interviewed on 110 Christian radio stations. We were able to promote LCA’s free resource page to millions of listeners.

This vision is why our team works so hard to bring you legal analysis and the latest news from Capitol Hill combined with a way for us to win these battles and impact the future of our nation. If you believe this is important, would you consider donating to Liberty Counsel Action so that we can grow our ability to impact these battles?

This battle just got a lot more intense! We cannot allow our legislators to eliminate and dismiss our religious freedoms!

Sincerely,

Mat Staver

Chairman

P.S. Please do not stand by silently as our nation’s leaders are pushing HR 5 through Congress. Please consider further support of our fight against this bill by donating and forwarding this email to your friends and family members.
