The First Amendment The Constitution of the United States of America Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof: or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. ARTICLE 18 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948 Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance. We have some Amish friends that need help!! They are being fined and jailed over not putting orange triangles on their buggies.They have tried to compromise by using reflective tape.They do not want to use the orange triangles because it goes against their modesty beliefs.They will not pay the fines and are being jailed!These families are not criminals they are hard working,God fearing people that worship the same God we do.They just worship in a different way than we do.If they Can Not worship and live the way they believe they should then what is stopping the law from telling any of us what we can or can not do to worship our savior. Please sign this in support of not just our Amish friends but for all of us!!Let everyone know their are still people that believe in our rights and will stand up for them!!Thank you in advance

This is ridiculous. They are peaceful people who keep to themselves. Reflective tape is way more than enough and the government needs to stop harassing them over these silly triangles. Leave them alone!
