This week the United States Supreme Court will hand down its ruling in the Hobby Lobby case, which combines both the Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood v. Sebelius cases challenging Obama’s HHS Mandate.
This will be the biggest ruling yet in a case challenging the HHS Mandate, and we need to come out in force to show our zeal to protect our religious freedoms.
A rally will be held on the steps of the Supreme Court this Thursday at 9 a.m., when the ruling could come down. If you’re in the Washington DC area, please join the rally and spread the word to your friends and family! Get all the details right here.
If you can’t join the rally in person, join in the Tweet Storm on Thursday morning using the hashtags #womenincontrol and #religiousfreedom.
Here are some sample tweets you can use Thursday morning:

Scroll down for the previous days’ prayers, or find them listed here.
Novena to Reverse HHS Mandate: Day 6
Father, You unite the human family
through the blood of Your Son Jesus Christ
and the gift of the Holy Spirit.
At this time of need,
when Your Church and all Your people
are called to stand firm against injustices
inflicted on us from our government,
we ask You to strengthen us in the bond of unity.
Strengthen the unity of Your Church,
that none of Your faithful may be on the sidelines,
but that everyone may be active in this battle.
Give Church leaders the grace to discern
the many varieties of the working of Your Spirit
that they may fan into flame the gifts that the Spirit
bestows freely on Your people.
And give us the wisdom to know
that no group has a monopoly on the defense of life and freedom.
May we work in an ecumenical and inter-religious spirit
and welcome the efforts of all people of good will
who believe in freedom of religion and conscience.
We pray through Christ our Lord. Amen.

On March 25, the US Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the historic Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood v. Sebelius cases which challenge the Obama Administration’s HHS Mandate, and the Stand Up Rally Coalition will be there.
These two cases could overturn Obama’s HHS Mandate—the very victory we’ve been seeking since 2012!
The Green family, owners of Hobby Lobby, and the Hahn family, owners of Conestoga Wood Specialties, are standing for all of us as they defend religious freedom by challenging the HHS Mandate in court. And now we must stand up with them as their cases are brought before the Supreme Court.
Here are 3 ways you can help:
1. Join us at the Supreme Court on March 25.
Join us for a prayer vigil and rally at the Supreme Court (Map) from 9:30 to 12:00 p.m. on March 25. Look for the huge “Stand Up for Religious Freedom” banner. We will provide signs, or you can make your own to welcome the Greens and the Hahns as they enter the Supreme Court. [Continue reading …]

The next Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally is only five days away, and today our list of cities has topped 140!
More than 125,000 people attended the March 23 and June 8 Rallies, and the number of cities on board for October 20 indicates that the Stand Up for Religious Freedom campaign shows no signs of weakening.
On the contrary, opposition among the American people to the HHS Mandate’s assault on religious freedom is intense—and getting stronger!
From Miami, Florida to Seattle, Washington and all the way out to Honolulu, Hawaii the American people are sending a message that we will not stand idly by while the federal government forces all employer health plans to provide free contraceptives, sterilizations, and abortion-inducing drugs, regardless of any moral or religious objections.

With the November elections looming, the time has come to double down in the fight for religious freedom.
That’s why the Stand Up for Religious Freedom Coalition is calling for a third nationwide Stand Up Rally to take place on Saturday, October 20.
The Supreme Court decision on the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare) in June made it clear that the only way to stop this pernicious attack on our freedom of religion will be electoral change. With that in mind, the October Rally will aim to call the faithful to live their faith, not just in church, but in every part of their lives.
With over 80 cities on board and more being added every day, the October 20 Rally is expected to be a historic success.
Find a Rally near you at the Rally Info and Locations page. Don’t see a Rally in your area? Contact the national leadership team to find out how you can get one going.
The die is cast. Now it’s time for each of us to do our part to ensure that religious freedom doesn’t become a part of America’s past. Join us as we Stand Up for Religious Freedom nationwide on October 20.

We’re thrilled that these additional rallies are being held, and we are happy to promote them!
Below is a partial listing of Religious Freedom rallies being held in the coming weeks. If you know of additional rallies, please list all the relevant details in the Comments section below. [Continue reading …]
