Dear Senator Burr,
I’m contacting you today as one of your constituents, to
make you aware of my position on the recent travesty of the Supreme Court
decision in Sebellius v. Hobby Lobby.
It is a crying shame to support the rights of a corporation
over the rights of an individual. It is sickening to see women continually
marginalized and reduced in rights,
support, and value in this country.
I’m familiar with your stance on this and other issues, and
I am asking you to stop prioritizing corporate rights and the rights of
invisible men over the rights of human beings. I’m asking you to stop fighting
against the legislation that might eventually (if our Governor will stop
fighting it) allow me to purchase health care, despite being low-income. I’m
asking you to support legislation that supports your constituents.
Today, I write to ask you to begin to work against laws
where ‘religious freedom’ is a code word for taking away the freedoms of
others. I’m asking you to work against policies that allow beliefs to trump law.
I’m asking you to oppose legislation that would help religious extremists
impose their Christian Sharia on America.
And, I am thanking you. Not for your efforts so far, which
have worked in opposition to the needs of the people who voted for you, but
thanking you in advance for taking the time to think about whether corporations
are really more important than people, and whether Christians really deserve a
higher level of freedom than the rest of us. Please support your constituents, so
we can return the favor.
With great appreciation,
Steph Bazzle
