Contact your Senators, ask them to oppose ENDA

The AFA has sent out an email to their subscribers today alerting us that the ENDA has made it past the US House, and is going to be voted on soon in the Senate. This bill is a piece of homosexual activism, and essentially will result in the government reaching its hand into private businesses and mandating that employers set aside their personal religious convictions when choosing who to hire. The email:

The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) has passed the U.S. House and Senator Edward Kennedy is now leading the push for a vote in the U.S. Senate. ENDA is aimed at providing heightened protections for a particular sexual behavior - homosexuality. It would grant special consideration on the basis of "sexual orientation" that would not be extended to other employees in the workplace.
ENDA violates employers' and employees' Constitutional freedoms of religion, speech and association. The proposed legislation would prohibit employers from taking their deeply held beliefs into account when making personnel decisions. This would pose an unprecedented intrusion by the federal government into people's lives.

ENDA would approvingly bring private behavior considered immoral by many into the public square. By declaring that all sexual preferences are equally valid, ENDA would change national policy supporting marriage and family.

It's obvious that the real agenda behind the innocuously named Employment Non-Discrimination Act is a push to enshrine homosexuality in national policy. This dangerous legislation would dramatically expand the government's reach into your work place and create unnecessary work-place conflicts and lawsuits. ENDA is a sweeping employer mandate to create special new legal protections based on "sexual orientation" (or "perceptions").

Don't let this bill make it past the Senate. Email your senators and ask them to oppose the ENDA. AFA's even been kind enough to write a response for you, and give you the capabilities to edit it. All you need to do is sign it and click "send".

Believe it or not, one email can make a difference.

If you're interested in reading the bill yourself, it's available online. Go to http://thomas.loc.gov/ and do a Bill search for "HR 3685". At time of writing, the most recent version is "Placed on Calendar in Senate".
