You Have an Action

Yes you, lover of freedom.

Frank Weathers is putting out the call:

A few minutes ago, a citizen named Nick left a comment with a link to a freshly minted petition he has drafted over at the White House in the post where Mike Huckabee said he intends to stand with Hobby Lobby.

I will admit to you that I signed the petition immediately. It has only 9 signatures currently, so it’s not Hangglidermuch higher than a kite right now.

No, I don’t fear agents in black helicopters coming for me in the middle of the night, nor does the prospect of the White House having my e-mail address bother me one teeny-weeny bit. Especially when it is so easy to send their stuff to the junk mail box, saavy?

I signed this particular petition because it is brief, to the point, and broad enough to include every business that has an objection to being coerced into providing services that violate their consciences.

Now, the HHS Mandate could be modified in the future to allow individual employees the opportunity to decide for themselves whether they need/want contraceptive, abortifacient, and sterilization services. You know, the HHS could provide a few options that would allow folks to make their own choices to do things contrary to the teachings of various faith groups. This would make things a lot less troublesome for businesses owned by folks who find these services objectionable. And, of course, folks like the Catholic Church, and her affiliated organizations. If people had a choice, see, they would be able to sin (or not) on their own time, and on their own dime, like we all usually do anyway.

But that is not the case right now. The HHS, acting like we live in the 19th Century, can’t seem to summon the capacity to make a menu of options available to folks, despite our 21st Century capacity to do so.

He's got more and he's wanting you to help.

Do it.  I did.

Carry on.
