Here is some sobering information: Since 2014, approximately $9.9 million in grant funding has been collected for the sole purpose to oppose religious liberty and protections for religious freedom. Welcome to the new America. The grants predominantly come from LGBT groups, backers of the LGBT movement, abortion supporters, and those calling for government-provided contraception coverage. These grantees, in general, hold the position that abortion rights and anti-discrimination laws protecting LGBT individuals are equally important, or more important than religious freedom. Next time you hear the LGBT community demand tolerance, keep this in mind.
Again, welcome to the new America.
Friends, the fight continues. Either we have the Right to Speak freely or we don't. Either we have the Right to Believe as we want and to Freely Exercise our Religion or we don't. In other words, either we are free or we are not.
I will keep you updated as this new case develops.
