Thursday, June 7—very day before our HUGE Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally—the Obama White House is holding a “Online Women’s Health Townhall” meeting at 10 a.m. Eastern.
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius—one of the architects of the HHS Mandate—is one of the scheduled guests for the online forum, and they’re calling for questions and comment from the public.
Is this timing deliberate? Is the Obama administration trying to spin this controversial issue in advance of Friday’s Rally?
We can’t say. But what we can do is get out voices into Thursday’s LIVE discussion.
Let’s crash Obama’s “women and health” forum and let Obama and Sebelius know exactly what we think of their approach to “women’s health”! Get all the details right here—including how to submit questions and where to watch.
Submit your questions and comments on the unjust HHS Mandate, and while your at it, mention Friday’s Rally!
We’re in the final push to publicize Friday’s Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally in over 150 cities nationwide, and we’re asking for your help.
Call your favorite national talk show host — Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Hugh Hewitt, whoever — and tell them about Friday’s Stand Up Rally.
Even a brief mention of the Rallies on one of those big, national programs would be a great boon.
These talk show hosts are pounded with info every day about topics they could cover. We have to help them see how important Friday’s Stand Up Rally is by contacting them today.
Please make that call today — and back it up with an email. If your favorite host is active on Twitter, reach out there, too.
And then please call, email, and tweet again tomorrow.
These shows have HUGE reach and could bring thousands more out to the Rally — and inspire better media coverage overall. But we need to FLOOD them with calls these next two days.
Here are the numbers for some of the big-name talk show hosts for you to call:
A lot of people are buying into the lie that the HHS Mandate really isn’t that bad or that it really doesn’t force employers to violate their consciences.
Our friends at the Alliance Defense Fund have produced a great new video that explains exactly how Obamacare and the HHS Mandate forces us all to pay for contraceptives, sterilizations and abortion-inducing drugs—and just how much may shock you.
Share this incisive video with all your friends and social media contacts!
A new film that opened last weekend tells an amazing story you won’t want to miss!
“For Greater Glory” tells the epic true story of Mexico’s Cristero War, which rocked 1920s North America. Audiences nationwide have been amazed at the parallells between the religious persecution in Mexico in the early 20th century and the threat of religious persecution in early 21st century America.
You can read more about the Cristero War in the Knights of Columbus Columbia Magazine and you can find out more about the film and showtimes near you here.
Please support this amazing pro-religious freedom movie that dovetails so well with the message of the Stand Up for Religious Freedom Campaign!

The theme song for the Stand Up of Religious Freedom Rally in Augusta, Maine is God Bless the USA. This song address how many of us feel about the United States. Freedom was paid for with the blood of many—a sacrifice, so freedom will stand.
The words, “I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today,” embraces the call every United States citizen, who cares about freedom has.
The purpose of the Religious Freedom Rally is to Stand Up and defend the rights given to us in the U.S. Constitution.
National Rally Co-Chairman Eric Scheidler and Pro-Life Action League communications Director Matt Yonke appeared with Josh Brahm on the most recent episode of the popular Life Report podcast to talk about the HHS Mandate and the Stand Up Rally effort.
This podcast is a great way to introduce friends to the problem with the HHS Mandate and what they can do to fight it!
The next Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally is just three days away, and our list of cities taking part now stands at 155—far surpassing the 145 cities that participated in the first Stand Up Rally on March 23.
The number of cities on board for June 8 shows that the massive turnout seen at that first Nationwide Rally on March 23 was hardly a one-time phenomenon.
Opposition among the American people to the HHS Mandate’s assault on religious freedom is intense—and getting stronger!
From Augusta, Maine to Miami, Florida to Fairbanks, Alaska 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.
