Americans United and the Interfaith Alliance have combined forces to encourage all Americans to put "First Freedom First."
As James Madison circulated his Memorial and Remonstrance with petitions to gather support for Thomas Jefferson's Act for Establishing Religious Freedom, the First Freedom First organization is circulating a petition to get signatures from citizens who are interested in safeguarding separation of church and state and preserving religious liberty for all Americans.
Here are links to a couple brief videos (about 90 seconds) that discuss our concern for Democracy Not Theocracy and End of Life Care.
I encourage all Mainstream Baptists to sign the petition, tell your friends, encourage them to sign it, and host a house party to discuss this issue.
Mainstream Oklahoma Baptists are already planning house parties in Norman and Oklahoma City.

Thanks for posting this! We must safeguard separation of church and state, and protect religious liberty. It's what sets us apart from other countries.
I would hope this campaign also addresses the government discrimination forbidding religious groups from donating charitable aid to Cubans through the Cuban Council of Churches. Also getting the Religious Freedom Peace Tax Fund Bill passed so that those of us who are conscientious objectors to war on religious grounds do not have to choose between paying all our taxes (and violating our consciences) or resisting war taxes and getting fines, etc.
