Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally

As many of you know, the United States Supreme Court is preparing to issue its ruling on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act.  While we in the Church are rightly concerned for the welfare of all citizens and their ability to receive adequate healthcare, we believe that the Health and Human Services Mandate is unjust and unconstitutional in forcing all employers—including Christian schools and hospitals—to provide in their health-care plans medications and procedures (including abortion-inducing drugs) that violate their religious or moral convictions.  Therefore, a rally has been planned to peacefully protest this infringement on our First Amendment right to freely exercise our religion.

The Tulsa Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally has been organized by the Diocese of Tulsa. Guest speakers will include Bishop Edward J. Slattery, Sr. Barbara Anne Gooding of St. Francis Hospital Network, and Leah Farish, esq. from the Alliance Defense Fund.

 What: Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally

 When: Friday, June 8, 12 noon to 1 p.m.

 Where: Chapman Centennial Green, 600 S. Main St., Tulsa, OK

 Who: Hundreds of local citizens opposed to the HHS Mandate

Bishop Slattery would like to invite you join him to show your support of right for all people to freely exercise their faith.
