The House plans to vote on the final version of the marriage equality bill tomorrow morning. Speaker Pelosi just announced a bill enrollment ceremony for H.R. 8404, the Respect For Marriage Act, for approximately 11:30am tomorrow in the U.S. Capitol following the floor vote.
See below for letter from Rabbonim
Speaking up helps to remove the Chilul Hashem. We need to daven, and also make phone calls here are the names and numbers of congressmen to call. Please call - for the honor of Hashem and for the sake of our future! It already passed the senate led by a bill which could destroy our society, Bill HR8404, which changes the legal definition of marriage on a national level. The bill forces ALL states to recognize to’eiva marriage, whether they like it or not, AND opens the door to unbelievable child abuse and pedophile marriage. Bill HR8404 is a war against Hashem.
This bill could make it impossible for religious people to remain in the US. Lawsuits could be brought against anyone who does not recognize the “marriages.” If you object to a pedophile marrying a child, YOU can be sued. If you refuse to bake a wedding cake or create a website for a same-gender “wedding,” YOU can be sued. In other words, despite claiming to have a “religious freedom” exemption, this horrible bill targets individuals and most institutions. the religious exemption is only if you are part of a church or institution promoting religion it will ot cover individuals or businesses.
WE MUST FLOOD THE REPRESENTATIVES WITH PHONE CALLS EXPRESSING OUR HORROR AT BILL HR8404 AND URGING THEM TO VOTE AGAINST IT!
These calls are critical to avert a Chilul Hashem. We cannot remain silent! tell them "I beg you to say NO HR-8404 this time. I believe that you represent my values and my principles. God bless you"

Asking for a friend
ReplyDeletewas there any mention of this at the Agudah convention or was it more important to attack Trump
who specifically attacked trump? and why?
ReplyDeleteBecause he likes eating his steak with cayenne ketchup.
DeleteIt's a Chillul Hashem when Goyim do Goyishe things? Since when?
ReplyDeleteThe law will require Jews to do goyishe things. A yidishe photographer will be required to work at a same-gender wedding. Lake Terrace will be required to allow same-gender marriages.
DeleteChazal say yes
DeleteAnd more, goyim(including those who claim to care little themselves) are confounded how can we Jews care so little. And they are aware among themselves that if We really did care about it somehow would this and previous developments have been stopped!
What do community movers and shakers care about? Real estate and Israel. So those things are protected
And don't say you're just a little guy.
Many will soon do it cheerily claiming Oness
DeleteHeaven will be holding it over us.
It will be holding over us that a righteous non-Jewish congresswoman cried yesterday over the passing of the bill. Did any of your family or your wives cry ? something similar?
Chillul Hashem means literally the desecration of Hashems name. It makes no difference who is desecrating His name. When evil and immorality exist, there is no greater chillul Hashem.
DeleteThsi letter is not from and 'aguda' rabonim
ReplyDeleteAgudah had one job to protect the chinuch in NY and they failed
ReplyDeleteOh they were supposed to get school vouchers that too didn't take off and others are now working on it.
This legislation should have at least got some attention at the convention but they don't want to upset the democrats
Oh well the dor hamabul dosent seem to bother them
And? Did Satmar or any other group do better? I'm just curious, what exactly do you suggest that will magically resolve the issue? Writing snide comments on frum websites?
DeleteThey were so busy trying to recruit Chassidim so they could excuse their inaction
Deleteuy
ReplyDeletedon't you have to call the congressman who represents your area? Wouldn't that be chris smith in lkwd?
ReplyDeleteyou should call them all
