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.

Make Your Voice Heard: Sign the Petition & Help Stop This Radical 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.

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

Time is of the essence. A vote in the Senate could occur at any time. We need to hear from you RIGHT NOW. Sign the petition and join the effort to defeat this dangerous bill.
