GING-PAC Chairman William J. Murray and Congressman Trent Franks

One of the most solid GING-PAC endorsed Representatives is Trent Franks (R-AZ) who is speaking out on the HHS abortion mandate in Obamacare, the importance of religious liberty and gay marriage.  

In a recent interview with Dustin Siggins With HotAir.com, Rep. Franks noted:

“It [religious freedom] is what often drives people to fight for other freedoms. The Pilgrims were people from a bunch of small churches whose leader was beheaded while they were fighting for religious freedom. They decided to leave, and subsequently started America, the greatest bastion of religious freedom of all time. Now we have a President who, in the format of a monarch, is willing to relegate religious freedom to the dustbin of history. It’s something we ignore at the peril of the country.”

“At the end of the day – whether it’s national security or how we interpret the Constitution, or issues related to economic issues – all of these things are put in place to enhance how people have the right to live and be free. You can’t pursue your dreams or be free if your religious rights are abrogated. We have the religious freedom God gave us when he put mankind on the Earth.”

***

“The Obama Administration has certainly shown disdain in significant ways of people of faith who comprise probably 85% of the nation. He [Obama] has the right to say “those people are crazy,” if he wants to. But he cannot violate religious beliefs, as long as those beliefs don’t take freedom, life, or property. That’s how our freedom works. In this case, the Administration is ripping the cornerstone of freedom out of the heart of the faith community in America.”
