“The First Amendment right of free speech and right to practice any faith, or no faith, are foundational American values that must extend to everyone…” – Member of the Congressional Prayer Caucus
Federal Legislation: Let’s pray the filibuster stays intact as is and that the senate is a firewall against all bills and language – all efforts – to undermine our Constitutional Republic, Judeo-Christian Heritage, and First Amendment Rights.

VOTE SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 28th On The Misnamed ‘Respect For Marriage Act’
Lawmakers and faith-based groups have several concerns about the Respect for Marriage Act, legislation that would codify same-sex marriage into federal law. Concerns include that the bill doesn’t have adequate protections for religious liberty. Also, it would “repeal several provisions of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) – the 1996 law that received bipartisan support, including from then U.S. Sen. Joe Biden and U.S. Rep. Chuck Schumer, D-NY, and from Democratic President Bill Clinton, who signed it.” Senator James Lankford (R-OK) took to the Senate floor to share his opposition to the Respect for Marriage Act, which he believes will lead to the violation of Americans’ religious liberty and their constitutional freedom to live their faith.

A companion resolution (S. J. Res. 1) awaits further action in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
