John,
I want to first say how thankful I am that we are on the same side of this critical battle in Washington D.C. right now. While the world is focused on defeating unjust COVID restrictions and vaccine mandates, Democrats are pushing their agenda through Congress with ease. And, it’s very dangerous and very destructive to liberty.
One month ago, we wrote to you about the Global Respect Act. If passed, the Global Respect Act will set a dangerous precedent in the United States. Giving Joe Biden the ability to reject religious leaders into our country who oppose participating in same-sex weddings because of their faith. In other words, the names of outspoken Christians will be put on a banned list next to known terrorists, cartels, dictators, and warlords. Some took comfort in knowing that the only way the Global Respect Act passed is if some Republicans sell out the Christian community and agree to support this bill. In the days leading up to a vote in the House of Representatives, it became clear that this was going to happen. Thanks to the support of our 12,337 petition signers, we launch a full-on ad campaign in the Washington Times. A few days ago, six Republicans joined every member of the Democratic Party to send this bill to the Senate. But we knew this would happen; we just didn’t know who… (Click on the image if you need a larger view) Now, the word is traveling quickly around D.C. conservative circles that the Senate version (Global Act) could have Republican votes. That’s why we need your help before it is too late.
Sign now and we will send your signature Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on your behalf!
What hurts most about this bill is that our nation was once admired for standing for the freedom of speech and freedom of religion. And, the Republican Party once jumped at the opportunity to defend our values. Right now, they must not sell out the faith-based community. Please sign our petition to encourage Republicans to vote against the Global Respect Act.
Sincerely, Gregory Mertz and the entire CitizenGO Team P.S. If you have already signed, please share the petition with your friends. Here's the first action alert email we sent for this petition:

Dear John,
Imagine you live in an America where the President of the United States can reject the entry of the Pope or religious leaders who oppose same-sex marriage. That sounds chilling, right? Soon, Democrats in the House of Representatives and the Senate are readying to pass what they call "The Global Respect Act." If passed, The Global Respect Act will do just that. The only way the Global Respect Act becomes a reality is if Republicans sell out people of faith. That's why we are asking you to sign our petition to Congressman McCarthy and Senator McConnell asking the Republican Caucus to block the passage of the Global Respect Act.
Sign now, and we will send your signature to McCarthy and McConnell on your behalf. We hope to reach 10,000 signatures in under 48 hours.
The Global Respect Act is expected to be up for a vote in the House of Representatives soon. The passage of this bill comes at the behest of the United Nations. Their recommendation stems from a report in which the United Nations Independent Expert on Violence and Discrimination on the Basis of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity said, "States should adopt decisive action when religious authorities, leaders or agents infringe on the rights of LGBT persons through violence and discrimination, including hate speech" (C-fam). To them, discrimination could be as simple as a religious leader refusing to support a same-sex wedding ceremony. We must send a loud enough message to the Republican Caucus in the House and Senate. 10,000 signatures in 48 hours is the starting point.
Add your name to the petition against the Global Respect Act. Joe Biden or any POTUS should not have the ability to deny entry to members of the faith-based community.
The past and current focuses are to deny entry to those who have committed genocide, terrorism, and acts of torture. If the Global Respect Act passes, members of the faith-based community will be added to the list next to terrorists, cartels, dictators, and warlords. It seems that under the Biden administration, the standards for discrimination have expanded to include refusing to participate in a same-sex wedding ceremony, opposing special LGBTQ+ education classes in schools, and refusing to support the LGBTQ+ political agenda. Sadly, the political agenda steering for LGBTQ+ advocacy will be greater than the rights for someone to practice their faith.
We are asking for your signature to Congressman McCarthy and Senator McConnell. Asking the Republican Caucus to block the passage of The Global Respect Act. Sincerely, Gregory Mertz and the entire CitizenGO Team P.S. When one person's right is greater than the right of another person, it's labeled a special right. The Global Respect Act is nothing more than a starting point to assign special rights. Under Biden, freedom of speech and religion will not be equal to these special rights. Sign now before it's too late.
