CBS Reporter Files Bogus Fraud Complaint To Shut Down A GoFund Me Page For Christian Pizza Makers

Alix Bryan
Richmond, Virginia,  filed a bogus fraud complaint to GoFund me for a page that was raising funds for the Indiana business Memories Pizza.  Memories stated that they would not cater to any gay weddings.  The intolerant left threatened their lives, so they shut down.  This outraged Christians across the Country that wanted to help these fine people.


 Alix Bryan posted an explanation on her verified Twitter account Friday night about her actions filing a bogus fraud report about to GoFundMe about the Memories Pizza fundraiser. She titled it, “Thank you for your support.”

Only there are serious flaws in Ms. Bryan's "Thank You":


Let's break down those flaws:

Dana Loesch, who co-founded the GoFundMe page with her Blaze TV show compatriots, was not at all satisfied, responding on Twitter to Bryan:

Look At All The States With A Religious Freedom Restoration Act Of Their Own




The Religious Freedom Restoration Act signed into law by Indiana Governor Mike Pence last week, has all the liberal wack jobs  panties in a bunch. 

While all the liberals are saying lets boycott Indiana, the  origins of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act was brought about by ultra liberal Senator Chuck Schumer, passed near unanimously by both the House and Senate, and was signed by President Clinton in 1993.

Indiana is now the 21st state to pass a “religious freedom” bill.

With bakeries and chapels being forced to service gay couples for their "deviant" marriages with many being forced to shut down and pay fines in the tens of thousands, it is more important than ever to make sure legislation is in place that reaffirms one's 1st Amendment Right of freedom of religion.

 By the way the word deviant is the antonym of normal and all have to agree that normal marriage is between a man and a woman. 

From IJReview:
The bill guarantees individuals the right to conduct business without ‘substantially burdening their ability to exercise their religion.’


There are currently 21 states with religious freedom laws: Alabama (state constitution amendment), Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia.


So why then is Indiana suddenly being dragged thru the mud?


Do liberals who completely misinterpret this law not feel the need to boycott any other state who’s feelings on the issue are nearly identical?


Nevertheless, the ‘extremely controversial’ RFRA is based on a 1993 Federal Law, which is also dubbed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. It was signed into law by ‘right-wing extremist’ president Bill Clinton.
Even blue states like Connecticut and Rhode Island have versions of the law. That is because the law is not as sweeping in its implications as activists seem to be suggesting.


In other words, not only can the Christian owners of a bakery refuse to write an inscription on the wedding cake of a gay couple, but the black owners of a T-shirt business don’t have to print the KKK’s burning crosses on shirts, and Jewish owners of a gift shop don’t have to put Nazi symbols on coffee cups.


Here’s a fantastic definiton of the RFRA by HSLDA:[The RFRA] reestablished a test by which courts must give the highest deference to a person’s religious practice (known as the compelling interest test). This test puts the burden of proof on the government to show that its regulation of a religious practice is essential to achieve a compelling governmental interest and the least restrictive means to achieve that interest.

Michigan State House Passes Burdensome And Un-Constitutional Act Bill Now Heads To State Senate

By: Stacy Swimp
The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) HB 5958 passed by the Republican House allows government to "burden religious freedom in the interest of government!"!

Section 5 of RFRA says: Sec. 5.2  (Opens the door for Government Intrusion)

18 (2) Government may substantially burden a person's exercise of

19 religion only if it demonstrates that application of the burden to

20 that person's exercise of religion in that particular instance is

21 both of the following:

22 (a) In furtherance of a compelling governmental interest
.
23 (b) The least restrictive means of furthering that compelling

24 governmental interest.

25 (3) A person whose religious exercise has been burdened in

26 violation of this section may assert that violation as a claim or

27 defense in any judicial or administrative proceeding and obtain 403979'13 * CJC
1 appropriate relief, including equitable relief, against government.

2 (4) A court or tribunal may award all or a portion of the

3 costs of litigation, including reasonable attorney fees, to a

4 person who prevails against government under this section.


What compelling interest could government have to burden my religious freedom?

What does that look like exactly?



Call Senate' Majority Leader  Randy Richardville and ask him to NOT take up this Anti Religious Freedom Bill!
