Friend,
Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a big win for religious liberty. Because the first, fundamental freedom listed in the Bill of Rights has been imperiled in recent decades, this was a critical case.
In a 7-2 vote, SCOTUS ruled that the Little Sisters of the Poor, a Catholic charity, cannot be forced by the government under the Affordable Care Act to provide free contraception to their employees in violation of the ministry's religious beliefs.
It is unconscionable that American citizens might have their religious freedom trampled. No American should ever be compelled by the government to violate their religious beliefs, but that's exactly what happened to the Little Sisters of the Poor.
Before the ruling, many House Republicans (including Mike) signed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to restore the Little Sisters of the Poor's constitutional rights. The Court's decision, which upheld the religious and conscience protections advanced by the Trump administration, is a win for the First Amendment.
We hope you will show your support for religious freedom, too. Will you sign our petition by CLICKING HERE?
America was founded on religious freedom. If the radical left is able to take that fundamental value away, we can no longer remain a free country. Forces are always going to try and find ways to trample our rights in the name of "progress," but we will never stop fighting to protect our liberty.
Thanks for your support,
Team Johnson
