Politicians are using their Religious beliefs as a basis for denying the Citizens of this Country the Right to Free Speech. They are using their Religious beliefs as a basis for laws in our country. They consistently violate our First Amendment Rights to Freedom of Religion and Free Speech.
In PA, Brian Sims rose to give comments on the floor of the House regarding the Supreme Court’s rulings striking down the DoMA and CA’s anti-gay Prop 8. Republican Daryl Metcalfe used a parliamentary procedure to prevent him from speaking. Why? Because “there’s no free speech on the floor”. Not for gays anyway. Metcalfe told WHYY-FM that Sims’ comments would have been “open rebellion against God’s law.”
