The First Amendment prohibits the government from establishing religion. That line is being crossed at the federal level right now, and I am asking you to stop it.
In February 2025, the president signed Executive Order 14202, "Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias," directing federal agencies to identify and reverse policies that allegedly discriminate against Christians. The order does not define anti-Christian bias. It gives political appointees broad authority to change enforcement priorities based on a religious framework.
The White House Faith Office, led by Paula White-Cain, has expanded its role from community liaison to policy coordination. The president said publicly that America should "forget about" the separation of church and state. The proposed Religious Liberty Commission, chaired by Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who called separation of church and state "the biggest lie," would institutionalize this merger.
The federal government is now spending $5 billion per year on school vouchers through reconciliation. Much of that money flows to religious schools that can discriminate in admissions and hiring. Meanwhile, Alliance Defending Freedom, designated a hate group by the SPLC, has won 15 Supreme Court cases reshaping religious liberty law. The organization spent $119.8 million in fiscal year 2025.
The Pentagon has held monthly prayer services since May 2025. Ten Commandments displays are now required in classrooms in multiple states. 850 anti-LGBTQ bills were filed in 2025, many using religious liberty as their legal basis.
I am asking you to oppose Executive Order 14202, block the Religious Liberty Commission, and require nondiscrimination standards for any school receiving federal voucher funds. The Constitution protects religious freedom for everyone. It does not give the government the authority to favor one religion over others or to use taxpayer money to advance a religious agenda.
