1st Annual Freedom Of Religion Rally
12 noon to 1:30 p.m.
rd, 2012---Calder Plaza, Grand Rapids Michigan
March 23

Monday March 12th, 2012

For Your Information:

I am organizing a protest Rally against the Abrogation of Religious Freedom and Freedom of Conscience as guaranteed under the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution. The Event is called the 1st Annual Freedom of Religion Rally.

This is part of a Nation-Wide effort to have citizens gather peacefully at Federal buildings across the United States on Friday March 23rd, 2012 at 12 noon to protest the Federal Health & Human Services Mandate for all employers including religious institutions to provide types of health care services that may violate that person or business or institutions conscience or beliefs.

The nation wide event was originally conceived by the Pro-Life Action League in cooperation with the Citizens For A Pro-Life Society. Since then many other pro-life, religious, civic and business groups have joined the cause to protest abrogation of Religious Freedom and Freedom of Conscience.

We are currently seeking Sponsors, Donors and speakers to make this an effective and eloquent event.

We will be gathering at the NE corner of the Calder Plaza in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan from 12 noon to 1:30 p.m.

This event will feature numerous speakers including ministers (from various denominations), private citizens, and representatives of various sponsoring groups as well as some recorded and live patriotic music.

We also will have several individuals walking around the Federal Building just north of the Calder Plaza with protest signs. We hope to have some positive Media Coverage of this important event.

Religious Freedom and Freedom of Conscience in America.

Religious Liberty and Right to Life Events

Here are a couple more events in the near future. There is certainly a lot of activity on this issue lately and for good reason.  The more awareness there is of the gravity of what the present administration is trying to do, the better.  To that end, here is some information on another event to promote that awareness we so desperately need:

Fr. Vincent O'Malley will be speaking at the Howard Miller Community Center on Tuesday March 13th, 2012
from 7-8:30 p.m. on 1st Amendment & Church/State Issues.  There is no cost for this event.

I haven't hear Fr. O'Malley speak but I hear he is excellent!

And here is a link to another event from Right to Life Michigan: www.rtl.org/events/legislativeday/

I've heard the speaker on EWTN and she is really good and has quite the story.  The short version is that she survived an abortion.  Now, go check it out!

Fight for Religious Liberty!

Here is another even I just recently found out about.

Event: A Call for Religious Freedom

On Thursday, March 1 at 7pm, Acton Institute president Rev. Robert Sirico will speak about the implications of the recent mandate for religious organizations handed down by the Health and Human Services Department of the federal government under the Affordable Care Act of 2010.

Rev. Sirico will explain the mandate and the February 2012 revision of that mandate, as well as the Constitutional protections for religion and conscience in the United States.  The implications for Catholic hospitals, Christian schools, and all faith-based organizations will be considered within the broader context of our history and religious tradition.  Father Sirico will be joined in prayer by Rev. Phil Smith, pastor of the Eternal Word Church in Grandville, and Rev. Tyler Wagenmaker, pastor of Beaverdam Christian Reformed Church.

The evening will take place at Ridge Point Community Church, 340 – 104th Avenue, Holland, Michigan. Please use Entrance C in ”The Center.” This event is free and open to the public.
