Churches moved to civil disobedience

To the editor:

On Friday June the 8th Fairfield was one of 164 towns and cities across the country who held Rallies for Religious Freedom.

There has been some media coverage on these events but usually under the terms of ?health? or ?contraception mandate? referring to the Health and Human Services Mandate of Obamacare. Thr true reality is of the greatest assault against the first Amendment of the Bill of Rights of the Constitution of our country.

This bill protects churches against the government "prohibiting the free exercise of religion" etc.

For the first time US churches are being moved to civil disobedience rather than not to comply to this mandate under threat of severe penalties and in violation of their deeply held beliefs and teachings.

Citizens must not be complacent or take our precious religious liberties and freedoms we have enjoyed for over 235 years for granted. And lest we forget Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini and other brutal dictators of past and present.as our democratic way of life is lost to secularism and socialism, communism under other guises and terms.

I urge you to view the documentary ?Agenda? and go to AGENDADOCUMENTARY.COM for more information.

We must exercise our privilege and responsibility to vote our informed conscience or our country will fall from ?a nation under God with liberty and justice for all? to government rule and coercion, not government ?by, of, and for the people? but the people for the government, for the state. Our fundamental freedoms come from God and not from government.

?Give unto Cesar that which is Cesar?s and to God that which is God?s? but not unto Cesar that which is God?s!

God Bless America!
