Have you noticed this Amendment appears in the Montrose Daily Press on the editorial page several times a week? Mr. Woody receives Liberty Magazine. Do you think there is a connection?

No religious tests for public office, but what about political tests to receive religious sacraments?

Next Tuesday, February 12, 2008, is a historic day. For the first time in a generation, a representative of the Seventh-day Adventist Church will be testifying before Congress in support of the rights of Sabbath keepers and other people of faith in the workplace. It is a historic opportunity-but to capitalize on it, we need two things in advance.
First and foremost, we earnestly seek your prayers. We know we are weak, we know the odds are firmly against us, and we know just how vulnerable we are. But we also know we serve an all-powerful God who listens when His people call upon Him.
Second, and very importantly, we need our church to raise its voice to Congress like we've never done before. Send your letters now at www.religiousliberty.info. In under two minutes you can send a letter; there's even a letter there already written for you to use. If you prefer, you can write your own letter on the site and have it sent.
Two minutes is a small price to pay for freedom! What if you've already sent a letter? Take a minute to send another letter to keep this vital bill fresh before Members of Congress. And please pass on this note to your family and church friends, so they can raise their voices, too. This is our chance to stand up and be counted in a very real way for religious liberty. Let's not let it pass us by.
Do your part to support our religious liberty in this country. The cost is free, but the reward is great.
Thank you.
