- ENDA, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, passed
the House last year, and Sen. Edward Kennedy is now hyping efforts to pass
it in the Senate. ENDA is now on the Senate docket, and a vote could be
taken any time Majority Leader Reid decides.
-
- ENDA is a federal workplace "hate crimes"
bill which would give "most favored" status to homosexuals in
hiring and firing, rentals, etc. It would deprive Christian employers and
employees of freedom to witness to or reprove homosexuals in the workplace.
Employers could not refuse to hire, or be able to fire, a homosexual because
of his sexual orientation.
-
- Right now in the Brett Van Asdlen "hate
crime" case in Illinois, we are seeing the injustice and legal complications
of giving specially protected status to homosexuals (See, <http://www.truthtellers.org/alerts/christianteenarrested.htm>Christian
Teen Arrested for Hate Crime and <http://www.truthtellers.org/alerts/illinoispursueshatecrime.htm>Illinois
Pursues Hate Crimes Charges Against Teen). If two straight youths
have a scuffle, it is a misdemeanor. If a homosexual scuffles with a Christian
teen like Brett Van Asdlen, the homosexual can shout, "Hate crime!"
and the Christian youth could face three years in prison under a felony
conviction.
-
- ENDA will vastly increase homosexual privileges,
stripping employers, employees, and property owners of fundamental rights.
It will exponentially increase the power of homosexuals to sue or claim
victimization.
-
- Take Action!
-
- Protest NOW to your Senators. Ask them to
oppose ENDA. Send an email or call toll free 1-877-851-6437
