RE: We Are Watching You On Illegal Immigration
Dear [TITLE] [LAST NAME]:
I am writing to demand that you force Barack Obama to uphold the First Amendment and protect the rights of all Americans - without delay.
By mandating that employers, including religious institutions, offer government-approved health insurance that covers all forms of contraception -- from birth control to the morning after pill to even sterilization - the Obama Administration effectively drove a stake into the heart of the First Amendment, which clearly reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."
And Obama's so-called compromise on the issue is nothing more than a sham. As Congressman Jim Jordan, Chairman of the Republican Study Committee, recently put it, "The ObamaCare rule still tramples on Americans' First Amendment right to freedom of religion. It's a fig leaf, not a compromise. Whether they are affiliated with a church or not, employers will still be forced to pay an insurance company for coverage that includes abortion-inducing drugs."
Make no mistake, this issue isn't just about birth control, it's much bigger than that. It's about maintaining our most fundamental freedoms. And unless Congress moves to reverse this ObamaCare mandate, and it is allowed to stand, what limits will be left on the federal government? Failure to act is effectively akin to tossing the rest of the Constitution out the window.
Enough is enough! Obama's so-called compromise isn't good enough. I demand that you make Obama uphold the First Amendment and protect the rights of all Americans - right away.
