RE: KEEP 3 GOOD AMENDMENTS IN H.R. 1540 NDAA 2012. PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND CHAPLAINS FROM HOMOSEXUAL HARASSMENT. REINSTATE DON’T ASK, DON’T TELL.

Dear Senator or Congressman:

Please endorse, co-sponsor, and pass the 3 good amendments in H.R.1540, the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act, which passed the House by a 322-96 vote in June 2011, and protect our troops from homosexual harassment.

Keep the first good amendment to H.R. 1540 which requires all four military service chiefs also certify that implementation of the 'Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell' repeal would not impact combat readiness.

Keep the good second amendment to H.R. 1540 which reaffirms that DOMA [the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act] still applies to all Defense Department regulations and policies.

Keep the good third amendment to H.R. 1540 which prohibits the use of military facilities or personnel for marriage ceremonies between same-sex couples, and also prohibits military chaplains or civilian Defense Department employees from officiating gay weddings.

Please ADD an amendment that clearly protects our military chaplains’ right to pray publicly “in Jesus’ name,” and defends all Christian troops’ right to free religious expression, and freedom from homosexual harassment.

In the 111th Congress, two Congressmen Mike McIntyre (D-NC) and Walter Jones (R-NC) introduced a bi-partisan bill, H.R. 268, protecting our troops and military chaplains right to free religion and free speech. Please support that bill again now, in the 112th Congress.

Please protect the conscience rights of any Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine who refuses, for religious reasons, to be "re-educated" or forced to "reconcile" by embracing homosexual sin as moral value.
  1. Protect our chaplains right to pray "in Jesus name" BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE CHAPEL, 7 DAYS A WEEK, WITHOUT PUNISHMENT.
  2. Protect our chaplains right to preach truth against sin BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE CHAPEL, 7 DAYS A WEEK, WITHOUT PUNISHMENT.
  3. Protect our troops right to never be sexually harassed.
  4. Protect our troops right to separate showers and quarters.
  5. Protect our troops right to free religious views about sin.
FINALLY, PLEASE REINSTATE “DON’T ASK, DON’T TELL” AND BAN OPEN HOMOSEXUALITY in the military, which hurts unit cohesion and morale. 24% of all troops said they won't re-enlist if you don’t, endangering our national security.

BE ADVISED. Your vote on this issue will be scored and faxed to nearly all church pastors in your state before next election.

Sincerely,
