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
