A bill in Congress makes it a crime for pastors and churches to speak
against homosexuality
*Message to pastors and other Christians: Just keep your mouth shut*
Dear Amey,
If pastors and other Christians don't aggressively oppose a bill now in
Congress, in the near future they will be subject to huge fines and
prison terms if they say anything negative about homosexuality.
*The proposed law would make it a crime to preach on Romans Chapter 1 or
I Corinthians Chapter 6. Or even to discuss them in a Sunday School
class.* If churches and individuals want to keep the government from
telling them what they can and cannot preach and teach about
homosexuality, they better get involved now!
House bill H.R. 1592
bill S. 1105
would make negative statements concerning homosexuality, *such as
calling the practice of homosexuality a sin from the pulpit, a "hate
crime" punishable by law*. This dangerous legislation would take away
your freedom of speech and your freedom of religion. Consider what has
already happened:
- A California lawsuit which is headed to the U.S. Supreme Court *would
make the use of the words "natural family," "marriage"* and *"union of a
man and a woman" *a* "hate speech"* crime in government workplaces. The
9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has already ruled in favor of the
plaintiffs!
- CNN and The Washington Post both reported that *General Peter Pace,
former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was fired because he
publicly expressed moral opposition to homosexual behavior.*

Take Action
*We are looking for one million Americans willing to take a stand and
not allow a small group of homosexual activists to take away our
freedoms.* Can we count on you? *Click on the link below to sign our
Petition to Congress in Defense of Religious Freedom.*
*Please forward this to others, especially your pastor, and ask them to
get involved in protecting our freedoms of speech and religion. This
threat to our religious freedoms is real!*

If you think our efforts are worthy, would you please support us
caring enough to get involved.
