Earlier this week, Georgia Governor Nathan Deal caved to corporate bullying and liberal “hysteria” and vetoed a bill designed to protect pastors and religious institutions from persecution for upholding the tenets of their faith.
The Free Exercise Protection Act, or HB 757, has faced opposition from a coordinated alliance of business interests and LGBT advocacy groups, many of which have fought religious liberty protections, or RFRA statutes, in other states.
2nd Vote has highlighted organizations like Georgia Prospers that have publicly engaged in misinformation campaigns to advance their radical agenda. A list of the companies involved with Georgia Prospers can be found below.
Last week, 2nd Vote also covered threats made by the NFL to punish Atlanta’s bid to host the Super Bowl if basic 1st Amendment protections were enacted by HB 757.
For this #TBT, conservatives wanting to turn the momentum of the radical assault on religious freedom need to only look back to how values-minded consumers engaged Lands’ End last month and were able to influence the clothier to discontinue its initiative to fund pro-abortion activist Gloria Steinem’s advocacy organization.
Conservatives can easily make their voices heard through social media; use these links to tell the NFL and companies like Salesforce, SunTrust and others to stop pushing an agenda that undermines religious liberties.
