RELIGIOUS FREEDOM RALLY IN CHICAGO AND OTHER CITIES !

Lake County Right to Life is joining with the Pro-Life Action League and other organizations, for a Religious Freedom Rally on Friday, March 23, 2012, to protest President Obama’s mandate, that all insurance coverage must include contraception, sterilization and abortion causing drugs.  

These Rallies for religious freedom are being coordinated nationwide, by the Pro-Life Action League. So far there are over 70 cities in 35 states that will be participating.  Here is the website,  so that you can check on updates regarding the Illinois and Nationwide Rallies:  www.standupforreligiousfreedom.com.

Here in Chicago, the Rally will be in the Federal Plaza at Dearborn and Adams Street at noon on March 23^rd.   This location is in front of the building, where Barack Obama and his transition team plotted their agenda between Election Day, 2008 and inauguration day, 2009. The Rally will only be one hour in length, and will feature a broad spectrum of religious and political leaders, who respect our Constitution and the freedoms it guarantees. Our own Congressman, Joe Walsh, will be among the many speakers.

This is not only a Catholic issue:   There is a well-known quote from Pastor Martin Niemoller, who stated the following after the Nazi rise to power:   “First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out – because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Communists - and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists - and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews - and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Jew.”  Today we can add - "Then they came for the Catholics - and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Catholic.”  Pastor’s Niemoller then ends his quote with these prophetic final words:  “Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me.”

Call our office at (847) 223- 7022, if you are interested in attending this Rally. Lake County Right to Life is planning to provide a bus, at a minimal charge, for those who need transportation.
