NRB Thanks Senators for Urging POTUS to Ensure First Amendment Fairness for Churches

NRB thanks the 10 U.S. senators who recently sent a letter to President Trump, asking him to do everything in his power to prevent state and local governments from discriminating against Americans seeking to exercise their First Amendment right to practice their religion.

The letter, spearheaded by Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), was signed by Sens. Mike Braun (R-Ind.), Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.), James Lankford (R-Okla.), Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), and Roger Wicker (R-Miss.).

“We thank these senators for calling out the discriminatory actions that we’re seeing in various states and localities that are imposing special restrictions on religious activity that do not apply to similar nonreligious activity,” said NRB CEO Troy Miller.

“Even as we’re seeing people across the nation freely exercise the First Amendment right to peaceably assemble amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and violent protests going unchecked, we’re seeing special restrictions on the First Amendment right of faithful Americans to exercise their religion – even when done in compliance with safety precautions found in CDC guidance,” he added. “State and local governments should not be allowed to single out people of faith in such a blatantly unfair manner.”
