The opposition finally backed down and our declaration has been formally recognized. I am drained from this long struggle but I am grateful that we prevailed together. Let this be a reminder to stay vigilant because holding onto our foundations requires constant effort.

At a time when Religious Freedom at the very heart of our nation, is under attack, we agree to stand together to affirm our support for, and belief in, our United States Constitution. We also agree to take action to inform and educate those around us that the rights of all, especially those rights guaranteed by the First Amendment, must be preserved.
We declare with our Founding Fathers and generations of Americans, that we are a free people and that this freedom is a gift from God, creator of human nature, and this freedom is also an inherent right in us as human beings.
We declare that the Religious Freedom established in our nation is for all people, all religions, and all faiths. This openness to all is rooted in natural law as exemplified in the Judeo-Christian foundations of our United States Constitution. To steward the nation and future generations into a tomorrow of stable and sustained human flourishing, we must honor this heritage personally and publicly.
We declare that Religious Freedom is the indispensable means of ensuring the hopeful vitality of our people and Constitutional Republic, and to lose it is to lose the heart of the nation and the Republic itself.
We declare that, regrettably, over the course of the 20th century, our nation’s exceptional heritage has been progressively obscured, distorted and undermined, so that today it is increasingly absent in the national culture. Our Religious Freedom is under attack and the grave consequences of its increasing diminishment are already evident.
We declare our opposition to the movements and ideologies that have attacked our freedoms. Most specifically, we declare our opposition to the Health and Human Services (HHS) Mandate and its directives that attack the very core of our First Amendment rights. We seek the repeal of this mandate.
Therefore, we call for all people to take strategic actions to reclaim our destiny as a nation to be a shining example of Religious Freedom. In recognizing the unique and indispensable role of religion in our society and in the development of people, we affirm the positive good that religion plays in resisting vice and degradation, and in building virtue and a more noble humanity. In this way, we will be fulfilling our duty to God and thus respecting all those whom He has created. In God we trust.

The feedback I receive daily highlights just how deep the worry goes for the future of our fundamental rights. It is exhausting work to keep pushing against this tide of indifference but I remain committed to the cause. We are currently scouting for new ways to get these concerns in front of the people who have the power to change our current course.

The climb toward one thousand signatures has been exhausting but necessary. We need to push through this final stretch before the decision makers ignore us again.

AMEN!!! God bless America and our constitution
Well put. We need to remember where our rights actually come from.
so tired of everyone acting like religion is something we should hide. our founders literally built this place on faith.
about time we start standing up for our rights again. it feels like we are losing ground every single day.
Finally someone said it. People act like they can just erase our history but they forget faith is what holds it all together.

Religious freedom is the cornerstone of this country. If we lose that we lose everything else.
