Back freedom of conscience

As Christians, we answer first and foremost to Jesus, not to our president, nor to the Health and Human Services secretary. Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of the world.” Those words have a profound political impact. They are foundational to religious liberty.

To quote Thomas Jefferson, we follow the laws of nature and of nature’s God. And within that framework, we are free to worship and act as we choose; our freedom of conscience is inviolable. President Barack Obama and the HHS secretary are wrong to demand otherwise.

Please contact your Congress and ask them to support the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act.
