THE FIGHT FOR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY RAGES ON

Logo

Dear Friend,

This month, surprisingly in liberal California, a judge declared it would be “tyranny” to force a Christian to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding.

Not only did Judge Lampe side with religious liberty, but he even commented that forcing a Christian to do something against their faith “would do violence to the essentials of Free Speech.”

While all Americans of faith can rejoice that a judge finally got this right, far too many of our Christian brothers and sisters, like Oregon bakers Aaron and Melissa Klein, didn’t have the same outcome. 

The Kleins lost their business after a judge ruled against their right to religious liberty and freedom of speech in their court battle.

And we can’t forget about Jack Phillips, whose fate will be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court this spring -- a ruling that is sure to impact the future of religious liberty in America.



While Judge Lampe’s decision in Cathy Miller’s case allowed her to save her business and her rights to free speech and religious liberty, all across the country we’re seeing judges side against these values that are central to our nation.

What’s interesting is that Cathy’s case was very similar to both the Kleins’ and Jack’s cases.

Cathy Miller had declined to make a cake for a same-sex wedding, just as Aaron and Melissa had done, and as Jack had done before them.

But, while Cathy was victorious, the Kleins were forced to pay a $135,000 fine and lost their business, and Jack Phillips was forced to cut off more than half of his company’s revenue and is still awaiting his fate from the U.S. Supreme Court.


As the legislative affiliate of the Family Research Council, FRC Action is a leading rallying force of the pro-family conservative grassroots in America.
FRC Action is fighting every day to influence our leaders in Washington and around the nation to protect religious liberty and ensure a bright future for all Americans of faith.

When activist judges, the ACLU, and other extremists are attacking free speech and religious liberty, we fight back.


Radicals have come after our faith, values, and freedoms through the courts for years.

Their next stop is at the ballot box this fall.

We are mobilizing our national grassroots team to defend religious liberty wherever it comes under attack.

Your much-needed gift today will enable FRCA to marshal and mobilize our vast nationwide network of pastors, values voters, and legislators who are ready to push back against the radical Left’s anti-Christian agenda.

Together, we can help ensure that our religious freedoms remain protected under our Constitution, and that we can continue to live biblically-faithful lives in the United States without fear of government intrusion.


Thank you, and God bless.

For America,

Lt. Gen. (Ret.) William G. "Jerry" Boykin
Executive Vice President
Family Research Council Action
