Mayor's Christian Remarks a Hate Crime? Print E-mail

Mayor R. Rex Parris Mayor Rex Parris of Lancaster, California is in serious trouble over an innocent political remark he made during a State of the City address. Parris said of the city of Lancaster,  "We're a growing Christian community and don't let anybody shy away from that."

 

So CAIR, a radical Muslim advocacy group, filed a civil rights complaint against the mayor. CAIR argues that the mayor’s remarks violate the “separation of church and state.”

 

Then a hearing was convened by the local Human Relations Task Force. They invited anyone who was affected by the mayor’s remarks to give their testimony. The task force then determined that Parris’s remarks constituted a hate crime under California laws.

 

Now Mayor Parris is facing ridiculous hate crime charges, but this is a political matter, not a criminal one. We can’t let Mayor Parris fight this battle alone.

 

 

TAKE ACTION:

 

Encourage Mayor Parris to continue to stand up for his religious liberties, and let him know that you support him.

Mayor,
It is not easy standing for what is right but those of us that know
right from wrong need to stand firm. I am praying for you to stand strong and
for you to find extraordinary blessing from the Lord during these times.

Christianity is all about Christ's love. Therefore how could this possibly be a
hate crime? Ridiculous how political "correctness" has gone amok.I'm
glad he is standing up for his beliefs.

Heard you on Tru news and was overwhelmed by your Christian fortitude. This
nation of Christians are asleep and I pray it won't be too late when they are
finally roused from their lethargy. May the LORD Jesus Christ richly bless and
protect you and your family.
