Pence Buckles Under Powerful Gay/Media Blitzkrieg Austin Ruse, Breitbart.com 
Governor Mike Pence of Indiana seems to have caved into enormous pressure and will ask the state legislature for new legislation to make it clear that Christian florists and bakers could be forced to participate in weddings that violate their religious beliefs…Advocates are calling for the inclusion of sexual orientation and gender identity as a new protected class in Indiana state law, something that is recognized in some Indiana municipalities. Pence says he does not advocate such special protections. Though Indiana does not have such broad protections of LGBTs, there are no reports of widespread discrimination against them… Social conservatives, a base Pence would need if he tries to make it through the GOP primaries, were immediately upset. Columnist Robert Knight tells Breitbart News, “Mr. Pence would do well to find out what Scott Walker had for breakfast when he faced down union mobs, the media and the ruling elites.” Ohio activist Phil Burress adds, “What good is a religious freedom law if it does not protect religious freedom?” ARTICLE continues HERE. |

AFA Announces Boycott of Angie's List Support for Anti -Christian Bigotry is Unacceptable 
Angie's List, the online service that provides consumer reviews of service professionals, publicly endorsed anti-Christian bigotry by opposing an Indiana law designed to protect religious liberties and freedoms.Last week, Indiana Governor Mike Pence signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) after the state legislature overwhelmingly supported it. Twenty states now have passed the law, with Arkansas and Georgia currently considering it. The Indiana law is identical in all fundamental respects to the 1993 federal RFRA signed into law by President Bill Clinton after it passed the U.S. House unanimously and the Senate 97-3. Unfortunately, Angie's List has joined with thousands of homosexual activists (including lesbian Ellen DeGeneres) in opposing religious freedom for all people in Indiana. In response Angie's List CEO Bill Oesterle announced the company is immediately putting plans "on hold" for a $40 million expansion of its headquarters in Indianapolis. Angie's List is a bully, plain and simple. They have chosen to bully the city of Indianapolis, the state of Indiana and Christians everywhere by financial intimidation and threats. TAKE ACTION — Go HERE to learn more. If you have an account with Angie's List, we urge you to cancel it right away in defense of religious liberty in America. Be sure to let them know why you’re leaving. |

Rev. Graham: “Don’t Shut Up!"— "Homosexuality is Wrong" and "Abortion is a Sin Against God, It’s Murder.” Michael W. Chapman, CNSNews.com 
While many Christian pastors are afraid to preach against homosexuality and abortion because some people in the pews complain, claiming their child is gay or abortion is a choice, the pastors must not shut up, said Rev. Franklin Graham, emphasizing that the sole guide is the Bible, which teaches that homosexual behavior “is wrong” and that abortion is “murder.”Rev. Graham, 62, also stressed that pastors and the church must not shrink from teaching young people moral truth because most of the schools and colleges teach that immorality, such as homosexuality and abortion, is “okay.” “Don’t you shut up!” Rev. Graham told attendees at The Awakening 2015: Rebuilding the Wall in Orlando, Fla. ARTICLE continues HERE. |
