Dear Representative______________,
I oppose H. Res 888 and call on you to uphold the constitutional mandate that calls for an absolute separation of church from state. There is an urgent need for Americans to become aware of this menacing force that opposes the basic principles for which this country was founded upon; and those are religious freedom, religious tolerance, and the absolute separation of church and state. Political fallout for those who defend the constitution should not be the excuse for a complicit congress. This is not, nor will it be, an issue that remains in the dark. I hope you choose to uphold our constitution and to resist those who care to establish an unholy alliance between religion and politics.
The line that once separated church from state is currently under attack by factions of the Christian right. Among them are Christian Fundamentalists, dominionists, and revisionists. Regardless of labels, these individuals comprised of religious leaders, heads of corporations, private citizens, politicians, and appointees in all branches of the government, must be confronted by those that we elect and hold accountable for protecting our constitution from enemies, foreign or domestic. In this case, it is a domestic enemy conspicuously organized to overthrow and to rewrite our constitution so that one religion, Christianity, becomes the dominating force in our government. This must be stopped.
Should any politician place their personal and religious affiliations above their oath of office, they are not fit to serve; and it is up to the electorate to prevent their re-election. Like many Americans, we will be watching how you vote in regards to H. Res 888. I hope you will consider my request and vote according to what is best for all religions and all Americans. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Benjamin Nichols
