Dear  John,

Right now, the Senate is debating one of the most dangerous threats to
religious liberty our nation has ever faced.

I'm talking about the so-called "Equality"
Act...a misleading and destructive wrecking ball of legislation
that would in fact STRIP AWAY equality for religious Americans in
order to appease activist groups and politically-correct radicals.

This disturbing act has already passed the House. And if we
don't stand for our rights now, we very well could be facing a
future where we lose these rights entirely.

John, as the leading defenders of religious liberty in our
country, we REFUSE to let such severe threats to your first freedom
stand.

Would you join me in fighting back against this blatant religious
hostility with your gift today?

The damage that the "Equality" Act would cause is truly
unprecedented.

The language of the bill would essentially ERASE the Religious Freedom
Restoration Act (RFRA), specifically stating that RFRA "shall
not provide a basis for challenging" any application of the
"Equality" Act.

What does all of this mean for people of faith?

It means that you or any organization (think: your workplace, your
church, your school) that holds certain religious and moral beliefs
(for instance, about marriage, gender, or life) could be FORCED to
participate in activities that violate your conscience.

In short, it would make religious Americans second-class citizens.

We simply cannot allow this to happen. We cannot allow such blatant
religious discrimination to take over our nation-a nation
FOUNDED on the bedrock of religious liberty.

We must do everything in our power to preserve this constitutional
bedrock-and we can't do it without you.

First Liberty has led the charge to protect faith and freedom in
America against attacks like this for decades, and we plan to continue
holding the line in the face of this latest assault as well. Our
expert legal team has an unparalleled victory rate taking on such acts
of discrimination.

But to keep standing our ground, we need you to stand with us.

Please donate to First Liberty today, to help us fight religious
hostility as we champion TRUE equality that doesn't leave out
religious Americans.

With your support, we will remain America's greatest hope for
victory.
