Another letter to my lovely representative, the close minded biggot, Pete Hoekstra
It greatly disturbs me that you would make a comment on the Eastern Michigan student’s expulsion over her christian beliefs without any type of reference to the situation under which she was expelled. I believe this is done on purpose as it is a lot easier to just say you oppose some activist judge’s decision over some poor girl who was discriminated against over her religious beliefs. You fail to mention the reason behind the expulsion being the fact that she was discriminating against gays in her would be role as a counselor. Any other professional would also face reprimand if they acted in such a way. What if doctors refused to treat people who were gay, black, white, jewish, atheist because it went against their religious beliefs? She was expelled because her actions do not coincide with what is expected of her in her role as a counselor. You are entitled to your opinions but I ask that you at least reference the facts of a story instead of making vague statements that make it sound like some crazy judge punished someone based on their religious beliefs.
PS: Your anti-gay stance is very disturbing too. In case you haven’t been paying attention - Michigan is in trouble and if you are running for Governor I strongly suggest that you do not alienate groups of people from coming to our state to start businesses, go to school, etc due to your anti-gay stance. Work on uniting us - not dividing.
This bill scares the hell out of me and can’t be allowed to pass - this is the United States right? I’m starting to wonder more and more.
My letter to Pete Hoekstra:
I am very concerned about H. Con. Res 274 and as your constituent urge you to NOT support this bill. It is a violation of my constitutional rights regarding my freedom of religion or if I so choose - freedom from religion. The answer to our problems in this country is not to force religion and god down citizen’s throats everywhere we turn. I respect others beliefs but should not be subject to it in public places. I strongly feel that with all other issues we are facing in this country that this bill is a complete waste of Congress’s time and any taxpayer dollars spent discussing it. It serves no purpose but to further involve religion in government where it is already way too prevalent.
