From truthtellers.org After reading this ask yourself the question: “Should another nation be determining what our laws are?”  “Should Christ haters be allowed to silence those who love Jesus?” If you agree that we should continue to have our first amendment rights to freedom of expression and freedom of religious practice, contact your senators and ...

Same Sex "Marriage" Is NOT A Civil Right
