EMERGENCY: Oppose H.R. 8404’s sexual anarchy and religious oppression

Wednesday, November 30, 2022, 1:39 pm | Randy Thomasson

Your calls and emails are needed today to stop sexual anarchy and religious oppression in America. H.R. 8404 can be halted with a flood of opposition if you act now. SCROLL DOWN FOR ACTION STEPS.

Here’s the latest analysis from the pro-family legal experts at Liberty Counsel:

Same-Sex Marriage. Child Bride Marriages. No Religious Freedom.

ALL will be protected if HR 8404 as amended passes the House.

On Monday, the Senate approved an amended version of HR 8404. The amendment claims to protect religious freedom but, in fact, does nothing to protect Christians and other faithful religious adherents.

HR 8404 forces every state to accept, honor and obey the crazy “marriage” laws of any other state.

Beyond same-sex marriage, HR 8404 empowers a state to force its marriage laws upon other states and territories. A handful of states like California have no minimum age for marriage, resulting in the terrible abuse often referred to as “child bride marriage.” These marriages are often forced upon young minors who were sexually abused or forced into such relationships.

The bill has essentially no religious liberty protections. The fact that three religious liberty amendments were rejected by the Senate (proposed by Sens. Lee, Lankford and Rubio) in favor of the Baldwin-Collins amendment illustrates the open disdain the bill presents to religious freedom.

Targeting people of faith to silence them is part of the LGBTQ agenda. We continue to defend former Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis, who was specifically targeted because of her Christian faith and support of marriage between a man and a woman.

Federalizing same-sex marriage will increase this intentional targeting of religious adherents.

Moreover, HR 8404 goes far beyond same-sex marriage. It empowers one state to impose its “marriage” laws on other states, and this includes the infamous “child bride marriage” laws of California.

A religious freedom amendment does not solve the ills of HR 8404. The bill is still rotten to its core. Who could in good faith condone a 50-year-old man marrying a 10-year-old child? That is legal right now in California, and if HR 8404 passes, pedophile marriages like this will be forced on your state as well.

Because HR 8404 changes federal policy, government edicts on marriage, schools and families WILL change, and all of America will be forced in one way or another to bow to the never-ending LGBTQ political agenda.

Keep in mind, the Q in LGBTQ stands for “queer,” aka “paraphilia,” a condition described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) covering about 500 sexual perversions, including necrophilia, bestiality and even “minor attracted persons” (pedophilia).

How to have a thankful Thanksgiving

Wednesday, November 23, 2022, 1:19 pm | Randy Thomasson
Saying Grace by Norman Rockwell, 1951

What does Thanksgiving really mean? When you turn the word around, it reads, “giving thanks.” That’s a clue, because when we thank, we thank persons, don’t we?

In the Bible, thanksgiving means Giving Thanks to God, for creating and sustaining us:

Know that the Lord, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.

Psalm 100: 3-5

Yet many people find it difficult to be genuinely thankful to Creator God.

For some, it’s because they don’t thank Him daily. Others lack a Biblical worldview. Still others believe in thanking God, but focus more on losses, producing a sad or angry countenance.

Yet God, who wants a voluntary-love relationship with us, gave people the choice to worship Him or not, to obey or disobey, to be blessed or cursed.

By this standard, we know the difference between good and evil; that people’s sins create problems in this world; and that the God of the Bible, Who sustains us all, is good all the time.

“Thank-you therapy” pays off. When we look into the Word of God and look up, we can have thankful hearts, every day.

Want to inspire thankful hearts at your Thanksgiving table? Ask everyone to say what they thank God for — not thanking anyone or anything else — but specifically thanking God.

You’ll be surprised how, for many, thanking God is a brand-new thought — which might just be the best thought they ever had.

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Hebrews 11:6

Why I’m urging thinking Californians to oppose all 7 props

To help you and other reasonable Californians vote right, I want to remind you of what SaveCalifornia.com announced Sept. 21: Why we’re opposing all 7 ballot propositions.

Please visit our Pro-Family Election Center (we’ve just updated our analysis of Prop. 1 and 31) to see why. Here’s a shortened version for you to see and share:

What’s the most secure way to vote?
In America, election fraud by Democrat politicians, bureaucrats, and activists is a factor, but not an absolute.

Because if “they” were in total control of election outcomes, we’d never see conservatives or Republicans elected, or Republicans recapture both houses of Congress (as they’re predicted to do this election). And you wouldn’t see Gavin Newsom openly worrying Republicans could flip four U.S. House seats in California.

That said, anyone who’s seen the video evidence of paid “mules” stuffing “drop boxes” in the dead of night knows unconstitutional Democrat malfeasance is real. For this and other reasons, I urge you to avoid the insecurity of drop boxes. For who knows who really picks them up and transports them unmolested to the county elections office?

Instead, I recommend you to either vote in-person at a physical polling place in your county, or go to your county elections office to deliver your sealed ballot inside. These are probably the most secure voting methods in your county of residence. But if you can’t vote this way, please still vote by Nov. 8 any legal way you can. 

[T]he time has come that Christians must vote for honest men and take consistent ground in politics or the Lord will curse them … Christians have been exceedingly guilty in this matter. But the time has come when they must act differently … Christians seem to act as if they thought God did not see what they do in politics. But I tell you He does see it – and He will bless or curse this nation according to the course they [Christians] take [in politics].
Charles Finney (1792-1875), leader of the Second Great Awakening in the U.S.
