Religious Freedom K of C Follow Up Meeting Tuesday Jan 7
On behalf of Joe, Don and Art, I would like to remind everyone of our meeting on Tuesday Jan 7, 7:30 sharp and ending at 8:30.The meeting will be at the Oakland K of C with a discussion for Religious Freedom and how it could impact all Catholics in America and World Wide.
Please join us, bring a friend and discuss what you can do to help.
Tuesday’s agenda includes:
1) The Little Sisters of the Poor/The Supreme Court’s order halts any fines the Roman Catholic nonprofit’s faced.
2) Other Obamacare lawsuits by Religious Organizations
3) Anti Religious discrimination in VA Administration
4) Common Core at Odds with Classical Catholic Education
5) Right to Life March on Jan 25
Please note that : NDAA 2014 passed with the section protecting Religious Freedom of speech. Thank you Scott Garrett.
During our discussion, we planned on sending e-mails to our own representatives and others in Congress regarding:
1) Opposition to the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), and
2) support for the religious freedom section to the National Defense Authorization Act 2014 (NDAA 2014), which strengthens the requirement for the military to accommodate the religious beliefs of military people and speech based on such beliefs. It also requires the Department of Defense in implementing this provision to consult with “the official military faith-group representatives who endorse military chaplains”.
The White House has already expressed its opposition to Section 530 as well as other unrelated items in the bill. Presumably, Democratic Senators and Congressmen will be under pressure to oppose Section 530, so we might send e-mails to some of them, as well.
Below from Don Burns are the e-mail links to contact members of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
