Guardians of Religious Freedom
Merrick, New York
WE HAVE CELEBRATED AUGUST 15TH
THE FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN
MARY OUR MOTHER
An Appeal to Heaven
Blessed Mary Immaculate, our Mother, we ask you to intercede for us as
we appeal to Heaven for the protection of our Religious Liberty and the
Judeo-Christian values that are the foundation of this nation which has
been so blessed by our Creator since its founding.
Almighty GOD, hear the prayers of your people. Give us courage,
strength and wisdom to speak boldly and loudly as we defend our
Religious Liberty! Holy Spirit, guide our nation’s leaders and instill in
them the burning desire to protect the precious liberties
that are your gift to mankind.
"It is religion and morality alone, which can establish the principles upon which freedom can
securely stand ... the only foundation for a free constitution is pure virtues, and if this cannot
be inspired into our people, in a greater measure, than they have it now, they may change their
rulers, and the forms of government, but they will not obtain a lasting liberty" — John Adams
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Mary Immaculate, Patroness of the United States of America
Patroness, Protector and Intercessor of the Guardians of Religious Freedom
Pray for us, our Holy Father Pope Francis and for the whole world!

Guardians of Religious Freedom
Merrick, New York
MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD!
Support
The First Amendment Defense Act
House Bill or Senate Bill
This religious freedom bill is currently before Congress – now! During the months of
August and September, it is absolutely critical that each and every one of us contacts
our representatives’ offices to let them know that you support the First Amendment
Defense Act. THEY ARE HEARING VERY LITTLE FROM WE THE PEOPLE
AND YOUR VOICES MUST BE HEARD!
The consequences of this bill being defeated are:
The Federal government can easily punish religious churches, religious institutions
or individuals who do not support same-sex marriage by:


Taking away their tax exemptions. Religious institutions would be taxed
effectively out of existence (poorest churches and neighborhood services would
disappear first) and donations to such churches and charities would NOT be
tax deductible;
Denying them grants, contracts, certifications, licenses, typical federal benefits,
JOBS, etc.
The consequences of taking no action are far-reaching and will go beyond the
marriage issue and will extend to contraception, abortion and beyond.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Find your congressional representative or Senator by putting your zip code
into this webpage https://www.opencongress.org/people/zipcodelookup Then
click onto the member’s name and then his “offices” and you can find where his
or her LOCAL office is. MOST ARE HOME ALL DURING AUGUST. A list of
some “town halls” some of your members are hosting at home this August is
here: http://heritageaction.com/2015/08/town-hall-list/.
