ENDA Coming To A Vote In The Next Few Days

The Liberty Council warns us that the liberal leadership in Congress planning to move the Employment Non Discrimination Act (ENDA) to the floor for a vote possibly in the next 48 hours. They are planning to give little or no formal notice before the floor vote.

The Christian Community needs to respond vigorously to stop this dangerous bill from becoming law.

Liberty Council reports that homosexual rights activists have launched a major grassroots effort to pressure the House into passing this bill. They are also working to further expand the "gender identity" language which would make this bill even worse for Christians.

Your calls to your Representative and key House leaders are needed today! Please take a moment and call the House Switchboard: 1.202.224.3121. Ask to speak to your Representative. If you don't know who your Representative is give the operator your zip code and the operator will tell you who your Representative is and connect you to your Representative's office.

Liberty Council's Talking points:
1. I oppose ENDA (H.R. 3685) and urge you to do the same.
2. ENDA wrongly creates a new legally protected class based on "sexual orientation" and/or "gender identity." Sexual orientation and/or gender identity can change and should not be protected by law.
3. ENDA will force employees and employers to embrace or promote values that may violate their own religious or personal convictions.
4. ENDA does not include enough protections for religious organizations.

Liberty Council states that ENDA presents a serious threat to the rights of Christians by elevating "sexual orientation" to a protected status. This puts our Christian faith at odds with the law. Schools, daycare centers, Christian non-profits, churches and Christian-owned businesses could be forced to hire homosexuals and adopt policies that support the homosexual agenda.

Liberty Council says it is possible that ENDA's supporters will pull the bill back, but we must be ready. Even if you have contacted your Representative on this issue in the past, please contact them again and tell others to do the same.

Mathew Staver of Liberty Council and I thank you for taking a stand to defend our liberties.

Shalom, Christian Warrior~~~~
