Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 4, 2021
Madam President, the right to live by faith--any faith of our choosing or no faith at all, if we choose--is part of what defines us and allows us to live out our lives in dignity and respect. It is also what makes for a well-ordered society. It provides relief for those who are suffering. Members of our communities, citizens of our country, were able to live out their lives with religious freedom prior to the pandemic. With the pandemic and the corresponding growth of government, we have seen some of those rights threatened and infringed. I introduce this amendment for the simple purpose of making sure that we, as the Senate, have the ability to protect the religious freedom of all Americans, even when--especially when--government is growing as a result of a crisis. I urge each of my colleagues to support this and, with it, freedom of religion. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The majority whip.
