“Spiritual freedom is the root of political liberty... As the union between spiritual freedom and political liberty seems nearly inseparable, it is our duty to defend both.” ~Thomas Paine |
religious freedom
Federal and state governments have been encroaching on religious freedom for decades. Efforts have been made to force compliance with the demands of a few while blurring the lines clearly established in the Constitution. Under “emergency powers” the government has taken away more and more liberties by suspending the Constitution, issuing mask mandates, lockdowns, etc. With this government response to the pandemic, it has become more and more evident how important it is to protect our rights as defined in the Constitution. The founding fathers experienced many of the same challenges that we have and yet, did not believe in “suspending” the Constitution even in times of trouble. Neither should we.
One very tangible way to preserve and protect this very fundamental freedom from state overreach is through the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) - https://supportrfra.com/. Georgia the only southern state that has failed to pass such an act, leaves Georgia citizens vulnerable to government overreach. When cases arise the government would not have to present a compelling reason to encroach upon religious freedom. This lesser standard means the government would prevail most if not all the time.
As Governor, Catherine will ensure such an act is not only passed but enforced to ensure no one can trample on our religious freedom. Our nation was founded on religious freedom and Georgians have a clear choice when it comes to safeguarding it - Catherine Davis.
