Dear John,

In the final hours of his administration, President Barack Obama
imposed a new requirement through the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), in essence mandating that any organization working
with HHS must accept same-sex marriage and an individual's
professed gender identity. A religious freedom disaster, this
requirement has been used to try to prevent faith-based adoption and
foster care providers from being able to serve needy children.
Recently, South Carolina's governor had to ask HHS for a special
waiver on behalf of Miracle Hill, the state's largest provider
of foster homes, so the vulnerable children of South Carolina could
continue having all available avenues of finding a place to live. HHS
ultimately granted the waiver because the regulation violated the
Religious Freedom Restoration Act. However, now radical activists are
trying to prevent HHS from granting any such waivers to anyone else.

The assault on faith-based adoption and foster care providers has been
fierce and expansive. Various states and localities, even those with
laws against government discrimination, have shut down these
providers. For example, in Michigan, the Attorney General refuses to
implement or defend a law protecting their religious freedom. Take a
moment to tell the Administration to protect faith-based adoption
before tomorrow!

Earlier this month, HHS announced that they are removing this
burdensome requirement imposed by President Obama because it
discriminates against faith-based organizations. While there is much
work to be done to protect religious freedom, removing this regulation
-- which has been used as a bludgeon against those who are motivated
by their faith to help vulnerable children -- is a step in the right
direction.

We have a limited window to let HHS know of our support for their
action, as they will stop taking comments on December 19th - that's
TOMORROW! Radical activists will undoubtedly submit thousands of
comments opposing this step of progress for religious freedom, and HHS
will likely face litigation once the rulemaking process is over and
the regulatory change becomes effective. HHS needs to know that you
stand with them in their efforts to remove this discriminatory
regulation and keep children first. Please send them a comment today!
