The headline from the Walla Walla Union Bulletin on April 30^th, 2013:

“Gay swipe ignites local fury”

 And the headline on May 1^st, 2013: 

“Hewitt counsels staffer for gay remark”

This incident started because of a bill Senator Hewitt co-sponsored, SB 5927, “Concerning the right to engage in commerce free from discrimination.”  SB 5927 was introduced as a result of a lawsuit filed against a Richland florist, Barronelle Stutzman, because she declined to work a same-sex marriage due to her religious objections.  She faces the Washington State Attorney General, who accuses her of violating anti-discrimination laws.

When the same-sex law was passed last year, supporters of the bill argued that the bill provided sufficient protections for private business owner wishing to exercise their right of conscience.  That turns out to not be the case, especially since the same supporters are now incensed that SB 5297 has introduced.  SB 5297 is intended to protect the “right of an individual or entity to deny services” if providing those services is contrary to their “sincerely held religious beliefs, philosophical beliefs or matters of conscience.”  This is a basic right under the First Amendment, and should be protected. 

The unfortunate response from Senator Hewitt’s staffer has been dealt with in a quick and professional matter.  The response from others has been equally swift.  The Union-Bulletin reported that “there were organizations ‘all over the place’ calling for a boycott of Walla Walla wines and cancellation of visits to Walla Walla.”

One man was quoted as saying:  “Who knows if there will be any real impact at the end of the day, but Walla Walla will be framed in a negative fashion.  I think it shows a disconnect to who (Hewitt’s) constituents really are.”  

Senator Hewitt had this to say in the latest WWUB article:

“These people have rights of their own,” Hewitt said. “We did not think this lady was supposed to be able to get sued.”

His own stand on gay marriage is “ambivalent,” Hewitt said. “When I am in a legislative situation, I could care less one way or the other. But I can tell you, the comments I am getting are thank you’s for supporting the silent minority. A lot of these people won’t speak up and say anything.”

This is not about discriminating against same-sex marriage.  This is about preserving the rights of Americans to follow their religious beliefs without fear of prosecution and retaliation, and the rights of business owners to limit their participation in something they do not believe in.  Senator Hewitt is supporting the religious liberties and rights of Washington State residents. 

If you are a member of the “silent majority”, please follow your conscience, and support him by sending words of encouragement.  You can contact him through his Legislature web site.

First Amendment under attack by Washington State Attorney General

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Attorney General Bob Ferguson has sued a small business owner who declined to provide flowers for a same-sex wedding ceremony.  Background information may be found at these links:

•  Arlene's Flowers in Richland sued by gay couple
• Arlene's Flower Shop Florist, Refuses Washington Gay Wedding Job Because Of Religion
• WA Florist Sued for Beliefs About Marriage

If you want to help, here are some ways to do so:

• Ask Mr. Ferguson to respect religious freedom and conscience rights and drop his lawsuit against Arlene's Flowers.  Call Attorney General Ferguson at 360-753-6200, then tell a friend and ask them to do the same.
• Make a donation to Arlene's Flowers Legal Defense Fund. Contributions are not tax deductible.
• Buy flowers from Arlene's, at 1177 Lee Blvd, Richland, WA 99352, phone (800) 692-0706

United Nations Supported By Hate Group

UN agency funded with Saudi money wants to edit worldwide textbooks

The UN agency that promotes education wants a say in how future textbooks are written, and Saudi Arabia -- a nation whose own school books have been criticized for promoting hatred of Christians and Jews -- is helping to bankroll the effort.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is currently working with member states to revise its strategy for the publication of textbooks and learning materials. According to UNESCO's website, experts from 21 countries met in Paris last month at a meeting financed by a $29,000 Saudi donation and focused in part on "ways to ensure that content aimed at students systematically reflects cultural and religious diversity, and avoids gender stereotypes."

Then, last week, Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah cut a $20 million check to UNESCO's emergency fund.

Read the rest.  And ask yourself:  "Why are we still in the United Nations?"
