"And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift of God?" -- Thomas Jefferson

"And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forbears fought is still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from generosity of the state but from the hand of God." -- John F. Kennedy

"Because of their belief that power had come from God to each individual, the Framers began the Constitution with the words 'we the people'" -- Newt Gingrich

"There's never been a nation like the United States, ever. It begins with the principles of our founding documents, principles that recognize that our rights come from God, not from our government." -- Marco Rubio

National Pro-Family Leaders Urge DOD to Purge Anti-Christian SPLC As Reliable Source

Washington, DC—Mat Staver, along with 15 other members of the Restore Military Religious Freedom coalition, released a letter sent to Secretary Hagel, urging him to review current Department of Defense (DOD) training materials and to ensure that future materials do not rely on information provided by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

Mat Staver, Chairman of Liberty Counsel Action, explained, “Relying on information provided by the SPLC is reckless. This is an organization that profits from its own manufactured perception of ‘hate’ in America. This is also the organization that created the online ‘hate map’ that Floyd Corkins used to target the Family Research Council (FRC), when he entered the FRC with the intent to murder as many people as possible because of their Judeo-Christian worldview on marriage. For the DOD, or any federal agency, to rely upon the SPLC as a reliable resource is inappropriate and endangers the freedom of every person, including those serving in the military, to worship God according to the dictates of one’s conscience.”

Staver concluded, “It is my hope that Secretary Hagel will evaluate and reconsider the training materials used by the DOD and purge any that originated from the SPLC or any other organization that routinely attacks Bible-believing Americans for their faith. Our soldiers put their lives on the line every day to protect our freedom; protecting their constitutional rights is the least we can do.”

Liberty Counsel Action is a 501(c)(4), nonprofit, grassroots lobbying organization advancing religious and civil liberties, the sanctity of human life, the family, limited and responsible government, national security, and support for Israel.
