NOT build churches! July 19, 2013 FFRF Member, A serious violation of the separation between state and church looms. Senate Bill 1274 was introduced July 10. This bill proposes that churches, synagogues, mosques, temples and other places of worship destroyed or damaged by natural disasters such as Hurricane Sandy should receive federal financial aid. The Establishment Clause firmly prohibits our government from funding religions, including the construction and repair of churches. If passed this bill would give millions of dollars of taxpayers money —your money— to organizations which already receive substantial tax-exempt charitable donations. Citizens should not have to fund a religion that they do not participate in! Call, write or email your senator telling them to vote NO on S.1274! • The bill was assigned to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. Please contact the committee member chair, or your senator if he or she sits on the committee. (Phone, email and/or tweet). There are 9 Democrats and 8 Republicans. Chair: Tom Carper, D- Delaware • Contact your own senators. We encourage both phoning the D.C. office and following up with email or tweet.
