If men give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the great end of society, would absolutely vacate such renunciation; the right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of Man to alienate this gift, and voluntarily become a slave.

LETTER: McMillin Says RFRA Protects Rights Of All Hoosiers

A letter submitted by Indiana State Rep. Jud McMillin (R-Brookville)

At the Statehouse, often times we have passionate conversations and intense debates. We also receive input from countless Hoosiers about the legislation being discussed, which is great as our citizen Legislature needs as much input as possible. However, in order for this institution to function, it is important that people receive accurate information on which to base their opinions on.

Recently, Senate Enrolled Act 101, known as the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), was passed by the General Assembly and signed into law by the governor. Almost immediately after this bill was first introduced, misinformation clouded both sides of this issue, suffocating the truth. This distortion of facts works to divide rather than unite us, and regrettably, can even prevent good public policy from passing. That is why, I would like to take this opportunity to clear up some of the confusion surrounding this legislation and provide some clarity on what this law will do and alternatively, what it will not doc. But first, it is important to know a little background about RFRA. Continue reading

It All Rests With This Generation

By Homeland Chief Jay Johnson The recent six page memo concerning immigration by Homeland Chief Jay Johnson needs to be thoroughly evaluated. The memo grants amnesty to any illegal alien who has been here as of January 1, 2014. So its not just the five million no faults the president talked about in his executive order speech.
