Tell Congress to Pass the Military Religious Freedom Protection Act

Just months after the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, there is a full-on battle for marriage raging within our nation’s armed forces.

Urge your congressman to co-sponsor the Military Religious Freedom Protection Act today!

Last April, the Navy issued new “sensitivity training” guidelines that required Navy chaplains to perform same-sex marriages. Thanks to leadership from Congressmen Tim Huelskamp and Todd Akin, the Navy backed down and rescinded the guidelines.

In September, the Department of Defense issued two more memos, requiring all military facilities to be available for same-sex weddings and allowing chaplains to participate in same-sex ceremonies.

Recognizing this growing threat to the religious liberty of our armed forces, Rep. Tim Huelskamp of Kansas introduced the Military Religious Freedom Protection Act (H.R. 3828) to protect chaplains from being forced to participate in same-sex marriages and any servicemen or women from being discriminated against because of their views on marriage.

Please use the form below to send a message to your congressman, urging him or her to support HR 3828 today!

Dear (recipient name),

Dear Representative,

As your constituent, I am writing to urge your support for the Military Religious Freedom Protection Act (H.R. 3828) recently introduced by Rep. Tim Huelskamp of Kansas.

Since the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell last year, our men in women in uniform, and especially our military chaplains, have been under increasing pressure to support same-sex marriage -- despite the fact that the Defense of Marriage Act is still federal law.

H.R. 3828 would codify religious liberty protections for our servicemen and women, ensuring that chaplains cannot be forced to participate in same-sex marriage ceremonies, that Defense Department property not be used for same-sex weddings, and that no member of the military be discriminated against for their religious opposition to same-sex marriage.

Our men and women in uniform have put their lives on the line to protect our religious liberty, and it's time we take action to protect theirs.

I urge you to stand with Rep. Huelskamp by co-sponsoring H.R. 3828 and defending the religious liberties of those who defend ours.
