Amendment 1, Free Speech, and your Religion

The Text of the Constitution, Amendment I (Ratified December 15, 1791)

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

When you contact your legislator today, be sure to remind him/her of this amendment. HR 1913 will violate your and your Pastor/Priest rights to freely exercise your religious speech and practices.

This legislation is designed for only two purposes: to further the gay/transgender agenda and to silence anyone who opposes this agenda.


The hate crimes bill will be used to lay the legal foundation and framework to investigate, prosecute and persecute pastors, business owners, Bible teachers, Sunday School teachers, youth leaders, Christian counselors, religious broadcasters and anyone else whose actions are based upon and reflect the truths found in the Bible.

H.R. 1913 broadly defines "intimidation," thus a pastor's sermon could be considered "hate speech" under this legislation if heard by an individual who then acts aggressively against persons based on any "sexual orientation." The pastor could be prosecuted for "conspiracy to commit a hate crime.
