But now it's time for all decent Americans to join together in a national straight/gay coalition to speak out together against religious bigotry.

The Universal Free Church doesn't believe in special rights for any group. But we do believe in equal rights for every group, and we hope you do too. That's why we're asking you to support the "Equal Rights For All Americans" petition campaign.

With your help we can put an end to religious discrimination that has stolen the Constitutional right of legally married gay Americans to simply live their own private lives in their own private bedrooms without being discriminated against.

Please visit us at http://UniversalFreeChurch.org and download the "Equal Rights For All Americans" petition. (At our homepage, in the right-hand column, click on the "ERFAA" box.)

First, print out and sign the petition yourself. Then get 19 other family and friends to sign it.

Then mail a copy of your completed petition to the district offices of your Representative and Senators. (At our website you can click to get the correct contact information, based on your zip code.) It's important to snail-mail your completed petition so your politicians actually receive something physical in their hands. Most politicians routinely ignore online petitions and emails.

Then mail us your original petition. (Our address is on the bottom of the petition.) We'll be hand delivering all petitions received to the Representatives and Senators at their congressional offices in Washington, D. C., on an ongoing basis to keep up the pressure.

Please join with us today and do your small share in demanding equal rights for everyone. All it costs is a little of your time to get 20 signatures, and a dollar or two in postage stamps to mail your completed petition. (Please also forward this email to everyone on your email list and post it on your blog or website.)

The Protestant, Catholic, and Mormon churches have hundreds of billions of tax-free dollars to spend promoting hateful religious bigotry. The Mormons alone spent 20 million of their tax-free dollars campaigning for Proposition 8 in California last year. All we can afford is this little email.

This email could spread like wildfire all across the country through "viral marketing," or like a chain letter. But only if YOU visit our website and download the petition. As well as forward this email to everyone you can, straight and gay.

If you believe in "Equal Rights For All Americans," please start doing your small share TODAY to make that possible. With your help, we can bury our politicians in a blizzard of completed petitions at their district offices and in Washington, D. C.

Let's all join together and show our politicians what the new majority of decent Americans, straight and gay together, really think about equal rights for everyone.

Thank you for caring,

I was a nun slave in a church that rewards male priests for molesting children and doesn't allow female priests. And my little brother was gay -- died of AIDS without the church. So I finally kicked the habit. Now I'm the founding mother of the (more...)
