Hobby Lobby Appreciation Day--Celebrating Religious Freedom

"Hobby Lobby: Specializing in Hearts and Crafts

If DAR is looking for a profile in courage, they have one in Hobby Lobby. The Christian-owned craft chain is sticking by its pledge to defy the President's abortion pill mandate despite fines in excess of a million dollars a day. After a disappointing outcome in the 10^th Circuit Court, the owners will fight on, racking up massive penalties in the process. Of the more than 100 plaintiffs in the lawsuits against the HHS mandate, Hobby Lobby has the most to lose.

But conviction is worth more than profits, insists the Green family--and they refuse to compromise theirs, even if it means the end of their business. Although the company provides contraception for employees, they draw the line at the morning-after pill and abortion pill, which are both required coverage of the new ObamaCare law. 'These abortion-causing drugs go against our faith, and our family is now being forced to choose between following the laws of the land that we love or maintaining the religious beliefs that have made our business success and supported our family and thousands of our employees... We simply cannot abandon our religious beliefs to comply with this mandate.'

Their heroic stance is prompting Christians across the country to stand with the Greens and show their support by shopping at the stores in a special Hobby Lobby Appreciation Day this Saturday. On January 16th, President Obama will announce the annual observance of National Religious Freedom Day. His administration needs to hear from the American people that what is being done to the Green family under the HHS abortion mandate is a profound violation of what our Founders identified as our First Freedom, the freedom of religion (I don't think he cares! His definition of freedom and The Founders' definition are different!--my addition).
