Join the Tweet Storm for Religious Freedom, 3/25 from 9:00 a.m. to 12 Noon
Posted by Matt Yonke (March 24, 2014 at 1:26 pm)
Tomorrow is the big day. The Supreme Court will hear the Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood v. Sebelius cases challenging Obama’s HHS Mandate.
Now more than ever, we need to make people aware of these historic cases and the threat the mandate poses.
You can help by joining in the Tweet Storm for Religious Freedom tomorrow, Tuesday, March 25, from 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon eastern time.
Help set the record straight on the Mandate by tweeting during that time and using the hashtag #ReligiousFreedomForAll to draw national attention to our side and the opposition’s hashtag #NotMyBossBusiness to join their conversation and accurately explain the facts of the case.
In addition to tweeting from 9 a.m. to noon eastern time tomorrow, you can also change your avatar to this great “I Stand with Hobby Lobby” graphic, blog about the cases explaining how the HHS mandate is forcing family businesses to violate their beliefs or face devastating government penalties, and share the news by linking to positive news coverage on your Facebook and Twitter so that our story spread far and wide.
Here are some suggested tweets you can use to be a part of the Tweet Storm:
Tweets Promoting #ReligiousFreedomForAll
Consitutional rights like religious freedom don’t disappear just because we earn a living. #religiousfreedomforall
Restricting religion will not unite us. #religiousfreedomforall
No one, including employees and employers, should be forced to violate their faith to earn a living. #religiousfreedomforall
RT if you believe in and want to protect the fundamental right to religious liberty #religiousfreedomforall
In @HobbyLobbyCase, flesh-and-blood owners of a family business face crushing fines because of their religion. #ReligiousFreedomForAll
Religious freedom is no luxury, but is a basic right of a free people. RT if you agree. #ReligiousFreedomForAll
Government praises @Gap & @CVS_Extra for making conscientious decisions, but says @HobbyLobbyCase has no conscience. #religiousfreedomforall
Our fundamental rights are gifts from God, not grants from government. #ReligiousFreedomForAll
The HHS mandate forces the Green family to choose between violating their faith and violating the law. Let’s have #ReligiousFreedomForAll
Companies should be encouraged to have a conscience, not punished for it. @HobbyLobbyCase #religiousfreedomforall
In #HHSmandate, govt exmpts thousands of employers for economic reasons or convenience, but not the Green family for faith reasons.
Apparently if Hobby Lobby doesn’t have a government-approved conscience, it doesn’t get to have a conscience at all. #religiousfreedomforall
Freedom of religion means more than just freedom of worship. #religiousfreedomforall
Running a business shouldn’t mean silencing your conscience. #religiousfreedomforall
There is no loophole in the First Amendment that excludes people running a business. #religiousfreedomforall
People don’t check their religious values at the office door. #religiousfreedomforall

Tweets Countering #NotMyBossBusiness
Washington is getting between you and your doctor – not your boss #notmybossbusiness
Crippling fines @HobbyLobbyCase and @ConestogaWood hurt employees and their families #notmybossbusiness
A family business is not the government’s business #notmybossbusiness
Forcing family businesses to drop healthcare hurts families and women #notmybossbusiness
Not Washington’s business either #notmybossbusiness
Govt has exempted 100 million from the #HHSmandate for political and commercial reasons. Why not the Greens and Hahns? #Notmybossbusiness
Let’s talk about unfair: $36,500 fine PER employee for not violating conscience and getting in line with the #HHSmandate #Notmybossbusiness
These families are in court fighting for the freedom to continue offering generous health plans #Notmybossbusiness
Govt shouldn’t fine family businesses for living out their faith #Notmybossbusiness
In America, families make family decisions not the government #Notmybossbusiness
Government is not my boss and can’t force me to violate by faith #Notmybossbusiness
Every American should be free to live and work according to their beliefs without fear of punishment by the government #Notmybossbusiness
Americans don’t give up their freedom when they open a family business #Notmybossbusiness
What’s unfair is religious families getting fined while others get exemptions from #Obamacare for secular reasons #Notmybossbusiness
It’s wrong to fine family businesses who provide fair wages and generous benefits #Notmybossbusiness
Nobody is coming between women & their doctors – you’re coming between people & their faiths #NotMyBossBusiness
Remember that time all Americans could live and work according to their conviction? Yeah, that was nice. #NotMyBossBusiness
#ThingsWeTakeForGranted: Religious Freedom #NotMyBossBusiness
Who is the “big business” here? Planned Parenthood had $1.2b in revenues last year including $540m from govt. #notmybossbusiness @PPact
Planned Parenthood is a big business w $1.2b in annual revenues- $540m from govt- whose “boss” makes $444k a year #notmybossbusiness @PPact
Fanatical Planned Parenthood bosses would trade away our most cherished freedoms for 4 widely available contraceptives. #notmybossbusiness
How much of $540m a year from govt is @PPact spending on this shrill campaign to pressure the Supreme Court? #notmybossbusiness
Planned Parenthood’s $444k boss spends 10s of $mm lobbying for govt $$, now leading pressure campaign against HL Court #notmybossbusiness
@HobbyLobbyCase pays for 16 of 20 contraceptives in mandate– Planned Parenthood fanatics won’t accept an 80% solution. #notmybossbusiness
Unseemly for Planned Parenthood-w $540m from govt yearly and $$ from ACA- to lead shrill campaign against Supreme Court. #notmybossbusiness
Planned Parenthood has conflict of interest-getting major ACA $$$. No wonder their $444k/yr “boss” is lobbying the Court. #notmybossbusiness
Planned Parenthood gets $540m in govt funding a year–why not pay for contraceptives themselves instead of harassing biz? #notmybossbusiness
