Georgia’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA)


The video below explains in everyday language why the citizens of Georgia need RFRA (Religious Freedom Restoration Act) to protect our religious freedoms. Please watch it and then share it.

Thirty one states already have such a law to protect the religious freedom of their citizens from oppressive state, county and local municipality actions. A federal law already exists (enacted almost unanimously in 1993) that protects our Religious Freedom at the federal level. However, the federal law does not extend protections to the states. In March of 2016, bowing to pressure from misguided corporations and the LGBT community, Georgia’s Governor Nathan Deal vetoed the RFRA bill which had been overwhelmingly passed by the Georgia House and Senate. This is serious business. Our religious freedoms, guaranteed by our US Constitution, are under continuous attack by our increasingly secular society. Josh McKoon does a great job in explaining why RFRA is needed in Georgia. It is critical for people of Faith to speak up and let our voices be heard.

  1. Good Morning Jim, Thanks for the video concerning Georgia’s Religious Freedom.  We need the Act desperately. No matter which one of these people are elected, trouble is up ahead for Christian in Georgia and the US as well. The Bible says so, therefore, we would do well to get ready! In the meantime, we better get all the help we can get…. Thank you again and enjoy the time away. In Christ, Jud

      Jud, I totally agree. The RFRA issue should not be an issue at all based on the freedom of religion guaranteed by our Constitution. However, loud voices have side-tracked our religious freedoms and the passage of this bill is simply mandatory. Thank you for reading and commenting. Hopefully others will do the same. …. enjoying the sunshine and seashore!! Jim
