Liberty Counsel

We are down to a matter of days before we deliver our

petitions opposing the passage of the anti-faith,

pro-homosexual Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA).

The bill is expected to get a committee vote this week. I want to deliver

petitions before this vote if possible - but I feel I must send at least

175,000 petitions. That means I need 30,000 petitions immediately.

I noticed that you haven't yet signed Liberty

Counsel's petition opposing ENDA! I urge you

to take a minute to sign the petition. I would

love the honor of representing you in this

next petition delivery - hopefully this week.

I've included my message from last week with all the

details below. Please review it and sign the petition

for immediate delivery.

God Bless You,

It looks like the Employment Non-Discrimination

Act (ENDA) is now going to be one of the highest

priorities of the ultraliberal 111th Congress,

which potentially puts Christians on the wrong

side of the law. A committee vote is expected

this week. Please see my extremely important

message below - Mat

Imagine that your child or grandchild came home from school

and announced, "Mr. Smith came to school today wearing a

dress. Now we have to call my teacher Miss Smith. I

thought Mr. Smith was a man!"

Under the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), this

scenario not only CAN take place, but individuals like

"Miss Smith" would be PROTECTED by LAW from dismissal based

upon their "sexual orientation."

ENDA promotes "sexual orientation" to the same protected

class as race, creed, color or national origin. It also

grants cross-dressers and transsexuals the status of being

in a protected class. Under ENDA, every school system

would be forbidden by law to squelch anyone demonstrating

homosexual or transsexual displays - or face severe

discrimination charges.

If ENDA passes, your children or grandchildren could be

held captive in classes taught by women who "present" as

men or men who "present" as women. Of course, their young

and inquisitive minds will be indoctrinated to believe

that this is perfectly normal and acceptable behavior.

At its core, ENDA is an orchestrated effort to break down

gender identity in our society. Make no mistake: ENDA

is intended to be the next nail in the coffin of

American freedom.

Liberty Counsel attorney Matt Barber noted in a Washington

Times article this week that morally and legally, "ENDA

will force - under penalty of law - Christian, Jewish

or Muslim business owners to adopt a secular-humanist

viewpoint, ignoring all matters surrounding sexual

morality while making hiring and firing decisions."

Matt's article continued, "ENDA would compel business

owners with 15 or more employees to leave sincerely

held religious beliefs at the workplace door and submit

to the demands of the homosexual activist lobby."

If ENDA passes, Christian-owned for-profit

businesses employing more than 15 people will

be forced to accept applications from

individuals whose behavior is in violation

of the owners' religious tenets.

++Elevating the threat of ENDA passage.

President Obama is using his presidential "bully pulpit" to promote

homosexuality, pass ENDA and repeal the

Defense of Marriage Act. If you have any doubt of that,

just look at one of his recent controversial "recess" appointments…

Chai Feldblum, credited with writing the ENDA

legislation, is now the first openly gay

commissioner of the Equal Employment

Opportunity Commission. The Senate stalled

for months on approving her controversial

nomination, in part because it places her

in the uniquely threatening position of

having written legislation that she is now

empowered to enforce!

Liberty Counsel has strongly opposed Feldblum's appointment

to the EEOC since President Obama first announced her

nomination. She is on record as stating that when homosexual

"rights" issues come in conflict with religious rights,

"Gays win, Christians lose."

It is therefore very distressing that the President made

her a powerful EEOC Commissioner (one of only five) during

a congressional recess, thus avoiding the normal process

of Senate approval. It is unlikely she could have passed

muster in a Senate confirmation process.

++Help Liberty Counsel defend the rights of people of faith.

ENDA is one of the most dangerous pieces of anti-faith

legislation ever to be considered by Congress. The next

vote on ENDA could take place as early as April 21st.

Liberty Counsel is conducting a massive legal and citizen

action campaign to fight the pro-homosexual agenda and

passage of the ENDA law both nationally and state-by-state.

Our petition calls for Congress to OPPOSE ENDA and stop this

travesty from becoming the law of the land. We have almost

140,000 signers to date, but I need to get 175,000 or more

signatures this week in order to strengthen our position

against the upcoming strong liberal push in Congress.

Please go here to sign our petition:

After you sign the petition, you'll then be given an opportunity

to expand your impact and expedite your message to Congress

by using Liberty Counsel's powerful fax barrage. It is

vitally important that concerned citizens like you and

me begin registering opposition to ENDA as soon as possible -

this bill could move very quickly in the ultraliberal 111th Congress!

The overt promotion of the homosexual agenda by passing

ENDA, repealing the Defense of Marriage Act, and eliminating

"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" were all Obama campaign promises. The various

Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transsexual (LGBT) organizations have been working

with the Obama administration

to identify openly LGBT Americans to serve as presidential

appointees, with Chai Feldblum's appointment to the EEOC

being the most recent among many.

Our religious freedoms are being threatened by ENDA and our

family units are being undermined by the threat of repealing

DOMA. President Obama's radical appointees, now assigned to

strategic positions of governmental leadership, have an

undeniable agenda. We have to stop ENDA in Congress NOW!

I urge you to sign our petition opposing the anti-faith

Employment Non-Discrimination Act. I am calling on all

Liberty Counsel team members to demand that our elected

officials oppose ENDA. Once you've signed the petition,

you will be given the opportunity to jump-start your

message by joining the powerful Liberty Counsel Fax Barrage.

Thank you for standing with Liberty Counsel in our massive

legal and citizen action campaign to defeat ENDA!

P.S. ENDA is a destructive piece of legislation that will

force many employers with deeply-held religious beliefs

to submit to a federal law mandating that they hire people

whose lifestyles are offensive to them. Go here now to

sign our petition opposing ENDA. Thank you!
