The U.S. Senate is on the verge of voting on and possibly passing the
dangerous and deceptive "Respect for Marriage Act."
Democrats railroaded this radical bill through the U.S. House of
Representatives and passed it last week.

What is the so-called "Respect for Marriage Act?" This
far-reaching piece of legislation is a sweeping redefinition and
expansion of what marriage means.

Make no mistake. This bill is a threat to religious liberty. It is an
attack on millions of religious Americans who simply want to live out
their deeply held beliefs.

Bill

The bill is a trojan horse designed to undermine families and
religious organizations. It poses a threat to states that want to
safeguard people of faith through conscience protections. It would
have disastrous consequences if signed into law:

* The IRS could rely on it to strip nonprofit, faith-based
organizations of their tax-exempt status if they adhere to their
religious beliefs about marriage.

* It would give activist groups grounds to sue religious
individuals, organizations and businesses with sincerely held
religious beliefs about marriage. This would affect millions of
faith-based foster care providers, religious social service
organizations and even religious organizations and businesses
that contract with the federal government.

* It would require the federal government to recognize any
state's definition of marriage, no matter how far-fetched.
This would negatively impact federal laws and policies regarding
marriage and its benefits and also endanger parental rights.

What can we do to stop this extreme legislation?

Across the country, a growing coalition of allies and friends of
freedom are making their voices heard. First Liberty-along with
more than 80 organizations-recently sent a letter urging Senate
leaders to oppose it.

Now, we need YOUR support. To protect religious freedom from this
brazen assault, we need you and as many Americans as possible to join
us.

WE URGE YOU: Sign our petition today. You can help bring this bill to
a grinding halt.
