Nebraska Family Association mounts full-scale attack on LB586, bill to guarantee antibias job protections to LGBTs

NFA is also attacking LB648, a 2nd parent adoption bill because it would make things easier for gay couples whose children are legal strangers to at least one of their parents. Here are the radio attacks NFA is waging:

February 17: Joe Neuhaus — LB586
February 18: Joe Neuhaus — LB586
February 19: Joe Neuhaus — LB648

Of course they have a script:

“Hello, my name is [Full Name] and I am a [job title/occupation] with [employer/organization] in [city]. I am calling today as a constituent of Senator [Last Name] in opposition to LB586.
(Choose one or more of the following points)

• In America, people should be free to live and work according to their beliefs.
• Forcing Nebraskans to surrender their faith in order to keep their jobs or run a business is unconstitutional.
• The government has no business telling Nebraskans how and when they can live out their faith.
• LB586 demands that Nebraskans choose between two poison pills: comply and desert your faith, or resist and lose your job.
• LB586 would allow unelected bureaucrats to decide what faith is, who the faithful are, and where and how faith may be lived out.
• Similar Laws have been used across the country not as a shield against discrimination, but as a sword to punish business owners and people of faith.

I am asking Senator [Last Name] to vote no on LB586. How does Senator [Last Name] plan to vote on this important issue? Thank you for your time and for considering my request.”

AKSARBENT has a script too:

“Hello, my name is [Full Name] and I am a [job title/occupation] with [employer/organization] in [city]. I am calling today as a constituent of Senator [Last Name]. I would like you to introduce legislation terminating Christians, Muslims and other adherents of religion as a protected class in Nebraska statutes.
(Choose one or more of the following points)

• In America, people should be free to live and work according to their non-beliefs.
• Forcing Nebraskans to surrender their Atheist or Agnostic principles in order to keep their jobs or run a business is unconstitutional.
• The government has no business telling Nebraskans how and when they can live out their non-beliefs.
• Current law forcing Nebraska Atheists, Agnostics and LGBTs to hire pushy, evangelizing Christers makes them choose between two poison pills: comply and desert your non-belief in God and principles of discouraging discriminatory activism and hate speech in your business, or resist and face government sanctions.
• Laws giving Christers special privileges allow unelected bureaucrats to dictate the behavior of nonbelievers and interfere with them following their consciences.
• Similar Laws have been used across the country not as a shield against discrimination, but as a sword to Atheist and Agnostic business owners.

I am asking Senator [Last Name] to introduce legislation removing religion as a protected class with special privileges. How does Senator [Last Name] plan to act on this important issue? Thank you for your time and for considering my request.”
