Action Alert – Trade Agreement Seeks to Change US Civil Rights Law
Canada is trying to impact United States civil rights law through the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement with the inclusion of “sexual orientation and gender identity.” Canada’s Justin Trudeau is so liberal and he wants to “share” it with the US! If the trade agreement is signed as is, the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution will make it the law of the land and extend special rights for “sexual orientation and gender identity.” This language must be removed before President Trump signs it!
Action Alert – Thank the One Who Was the Lone Vote . . .
The Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission has overstepped its legal authority and has issued “guidance” which expands their reach. The Commission will now investigate complaints based on “sexual orientation and gender identity or expression” as a form of sex discrimination—even though the law has NOT changed! So, they will now investigate Christian businesses, such as WW Bridal Boutique, when the owners have a deeply held religious belief that engaging in homosexual acts is sin and direct the homosexual couple wanting brides’ gowns, or a “wedding” cake or flowers for their “wedding” to their competitor down the street. Also, if a business owner responds to complaints by female customers about the man in their restroom, by asking the male to use the men’s room – that owner will have a complaint filed against him. Only one commissioner sided with sanity!!
Action Alert – More Info on Wolf’s Commission on LGBTQ Affairs
By executive order, Governor Wolf has created a Commission on LGBTQ Issues. Its stated goal is to be “the Commonwealth’s advocate agency for its LGBTQ citizens,” but its true goal is to push the normalization of homosexuality and transgenderism across every spectrum within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Action Alert – Let Governor Wolf Know Your Thoughts on His New Commission!
Governor Tom Wolf signed an executive order to create the Pennsylvania Commission on LGBTQ Affairs. Supposedly its purpose is to help those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning or queer to gain their civil rights by creating policies and procedures that protect them from discrimination. However, the true purpose is to further normalize those lifestyles!
News Release- Governor’s New Commission is a Bad Idea
In mid-2015 PA Governor Tom Wolf was deemed the nation’s most liberal governor and his actions this week confirmed that he still deserves that title. On August 6th he signed an executive order creating the Pennsylvania Commission on LGBTQ Affairs – the only in the nation. This will join the governor’s other existing commissions — African American Affairs, Asian Pacific American Affairs, Latino Affairs and the Commission for Women. The American Family Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA), a statewide advocacy group, has contacted Governor Wolf outlining reasons why this is a bad idea.
News Release- US Supreme Court Gets It Right
Today the US Supreme Court handed down the right decision in protecting the First Amendment rights of Colorado baker Jack Phillips. In a 7-2 decision the US Supreme Court ruled that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission had displayed anti-Christian bias towards Jack Phillips in their dealings with him in the complaint filed by two homosexual men when Phillips refused to bake a custom cake for their same-sex “wedding.”
Action Alert – Pray for the US Supreme Court as it Makes Its Decision
In December the US Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the Masterpiece Cakeshop Ltd. v. Colorado Anti-Discrimination Commission case which pits a baker’s religious freedom against Colorado’s addition of “sexual orientation” to its anti-discrimination laws. The outcome of this case has ramifications for every Christian business owner in America. Homosexual activists are hoping for a win during this their ‘gay pride’ month. Pray daily for the nine Justice on the US Supreme Court – that they would simply interpret the Constitution and not rewrite it.

Action Alert – LGBT Activists Force PA Wedding Shop Out of Business
WW Bridal Boutique in Bloomsburg has been in business for 37 years. They will be closing their doors on March 30th because of unrelenting attacks by homosexual activists over the past four years. This truly exposes how very intolerant are those who are crying tolerance the loudest. Christians should be permitted to run their businesses according to their Christian beliefs. Thank Victoria Miller for standing strong and being an example to us all.
