Multiethnic, Multiracial, and Transgenerational Federation of Organizations Unite on Health Care

Today in Washington, DC, a federation of some of the largest faith-based and policy organizations in the country weighed in on the national health care debate.

United in their adherence to core values expressed in the Declaration of American Values, these multiethnic, multiracial, and transgenerational organizations affirm the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death and agree that any health care policy must protect human life.

Human life is sacred because we are made in the image of God and are endowed by our Creator with the inalienable right to life. Without an explicit exclusion for abortion, the health care proposals on the table will fund abortion.

As a society treats the most vulnerable among us in the womb, it will similarly treat the aged and the ill. Any health care policy or proposal must protect those with debilitating or terminal illness and the elderly. Life, no matter how young, is not expendable and, no matter how ill or aged, is not to be weighed on a cost-benefit scale.

Read our News Release to learn about some positive alternative solutions to health care.

A partial list of the organizations in the Freedom Federation will be posted online soon at www.freedomfederation.org.

Read the statements by the leaders of some of the organizations on our website (in PDF format).

These and other organizations will participate in a national health care webinar on September 10. Keep watching these Liberty Alerts for more details on how you can join the webinar.

FOX & Friends Features Liberty Counsel Attorney and Clients

Liberty Counsel senior litigation counsel Harry Mihet and clients, Daniel and Sharon Dixon, are scheduled to appear tomorrow morning on FOX & Friends, at 7:40 a.m. ET.

Last year, Liberty Counsel filed suit on behalf of the Dixons against Hallmark Companies and Hallmark Management after they were terminated and evicted for displaying artwork referencing a Scripture verse in their office. Daniel Dixon was manager and lead maintenance technician at the apartment complex where he lived with his wife, Sharon, also a manager. Hallmark owns and manages a government-subsidized apartment complex in Lake City, Florida, and is required to comply with federal employment and housing antidiscrimination laws.

For at least eight years before they were fired and evicted, the Dixons had a 50”x26" piece of stained glass artwork featuring flowers hanging on the wall in the management office where they worked. On the glass was a partial Scripture verse in 1-1/4 inch letters that read: "Consider the Lilies…Matthew 6:28."

The regional manager for Hallmark asked Sharon if the words on the artwork referred to Scripture. After Sharon said they did, Sanders told her to remove the artwork. Sharon replied that she needed to discuss it with her co-manager husband and left the office to find him. While Sharon was gone, Sanders consulted her supervisor and then took the artwork and put it inside the Dixon's apartment. When Sharon returned, Sanders said that the Dixons were “too religious.” She fired them and demanded they vacate their apartment within 72 hours.

The Dixons were granted unemployment compensation over the objection of Hallmark, because Hallmark did not substantiate its claims of misconduct. Liberty Counsel filed suit, claiming violations of the Fair Housing Act and employment laws, which prohibit discrimination in housing and employment on the basis of religion.

Please pray for a good resolution of this case on behalf of the Dixons.
