Restoration Act

Dear John,

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear
religious liberty?

If you're like me, you think of religious freedom and make an
immediate connection to the Constitution...because after all,
it's the first freedom in our nation's founding document.

But did you know there are vast federal laws in addition to the First
Amendment that safeguard our right to live our faith?

One such legal protection is the Religious Freedom Restoration Act
(RFRA)-and this past weekend we observed the 26th anniversary since it was
signed into law on November 16, 1993.

Let me briefly tell you why we celebrate the enactment of this law.

RFRA remains one of the foremost federal protections for you, me and
people of all faiths when our rights come under attack. It's a
keystone law that makes sure the government won't burden a
person's right to freely live out their faith.

What surprises many people is that RFRA was one of the most widely
supported religious freedom bills in modern history.

The passage of RFRA showed us one of the starkest displays of
bipartisanship in recent memory. A diverse coalition of over sixty
liberal and conservative groups, politicians and advocates across the
country joined forces to protect the free exercise of religion. In the
end, federal RFRA legislation passed unanimously in the House of
Representatives, by an overwhelming 97-3 vote in the Senate and was
signed into law by Democratic President Bill Clinton.

Few questioned the necessity of RFRA two and a half decades
ago-but today, the picture looks vastly different as RFRA is
under impending threat.

As part of their all-out assault on faith, opponents of religious
liberty are lobbying Congress right now to pass legislation that
virtually guts RFRA.

Their efforts recently led to the House of Representatives passing a
disastrous bill that nullifies RFRA's religious freedom
protections and creates intolerance and contempt against people of
faith.

That's why our expert legal team wants to help equip you and
your family to understand RFRA, especially now that attacks on faith
are at an all-time high.

For RFRA's 26th anniversary, we're offering you a special,
new resource: First Liberty's Quick Guide: Understanding RFRA.

One of the best ways to protect yourself is to have quality legal
tools and information at your disposal, and I hope this resource will
be of use to you as you go forth to live out your faith.

Visit our website to get your own copy today for FREE. I also strongly
encourage you to print, share or forward the resource to your friends
and family.

As always, thank you for being a faithful supporter of First Liberty
Institute and for joining us in the fight for religious freedom in
America.
