RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.

What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
1. The Constitution is very specific and direct regarding equal separation of powers between the three branches of government. (Checks and Balances) 2. Government DOES NOT have absolute power over it’s people. Our Founders were clear regarding our system of limited government and protection of unalienable rights in both the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.
