“The purpose of the letter was to voice my concern, as a chaplain in the Army, that the foundational principle of religious freedom in America is under assault and in danger,” Lewis disclosed.
He specifically called for the letter’s recipients to use their “influence and position to advocate for policies that protect religious liberty in the Armed Forces and hold military leadership accountable for punishing servicemembers who chose to follow their conscience.”
Four months later, Lewis has heard nothing, and no one has been held accountable for the mandate’s unlawful implementation and enforcement.
“I was always under the assumption that the men and women who were elected to Congress were there to represent ‘We the People” and were desirous of hearing from their constituents, in this case an active member of the Armed Services, but I have been proven wrong,” lamented Lewis. “To say I’m disappointed would be an understatement.”
Will Congress hear their plea?
