Protect Religious Freedom: Oppose HB 1510 (and its discharge resolution), SB 974, SB 1306, and SB 1307.

In a state with a once proud heritage of religious freedom, we are witnessing insidious assaults:
"Changing the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (PHRA) will jeopardize many churches and their charitable outreach if they continue to adhere to their religious beliefs.... HB 1510/SB 974 exposes even more Pennsylvanians to discrimination based solely on their religious beliefs. Simply put, this legislation is intolerant and prejudiced against people of faith"  (Pennsylvania Catholic Conference).


As per the Pa Family Council,
"In the House, there could be a vote as early as Wednesday on what is called a 'discharge resolution' to advance HB 1510.... It is critical that you call your State Representative... and email to oppose both the discharge resolution, and HB 1510."

"the latest move is to split SB 974 into parts to force it through in a piecemeal basis.  The first two parts (SB 1306 and SB 1307) could have committee votes as early as Wednesday (June 15).... It is critical that you call your state senator and email today (or by Tuesday morning) and tell them to vote no on SB 1306, SB 1307 and SB 974"
From Bucks County, Representatives Tina Davis, John Galloway, Steve Santarsiero, Scott Petri, Marguerite Quinn, and Kathy Watson are actually co-sponsors of HB 1510!  Senator Chuck McIlhinney is actually a co-sponsor of SB 974!

Clicking here will format one email to all of Bucks County's representatives and senators in Harrisburg, telling them to Oppose HB 1510 (and its discharge resolution), SB 974, SB 1306, and SB 1307.
