GA HB 218: "Preventing Government Overreach on Religious Expression Act."

Religious freedom must be protected in Georgia, and we need your help to make that happen! We are asking everyone to help light up the State Capitol switchboard by making a few calls this week to your elected officials urging them to support religious freedom legislation.

Contact the following:

  1. Gov. Deal - urge him to put his full support behind religious liberty legislation. Phone: 404-656-1776 / Online Contact/Email Form 
  2. Lt. Governor Casey Cagle - urge him to put his full support behind religious liberty legislation. Phone: 404-656-5030 / Online Contact/Email Form 
  3. Speaker David Ralston - urge him to put his full support behind HB 218*. Phone: 404- 656-5020 /  E-mail: David.ralston@house.ga.gov
  4. Your state representative - urge them to support HB 218.*
  5. Your state senator - urge them to support religious liberty legislation when the senate bill is introduced.

How to find your state senator and representative: 

1. To find your state senator and state legislator, go to http://openstates.org/find_your_legislator/

and type in your home address.   

2. Once you have determined your state legislators, go to the following web sites for mailing address, e-mail address, and phone and fax numbers:

*Rep. Sam Teasley filed the House version of the religious liberty bill titled "Preventing Government Overreach on Religious Expression Act." The bill has a new number: HB218. The Senate has not filed their bill yet.

 

Religious freedom is the bedrock of all other liberties and valued as one of our most cherished constitutional rights. Protecting religious freedom was so important to our Founders they placed it at the top of the list of the Bill of Rights. Isn't it time that we step up to protect religious freedom here in Georgia? Future generations are depending on us. Contact your state legislators today and urge them to stand on the side of religious freedom and support HB218.
