“The fundamental basis of this nation’s laws was given to Moses on the Mount…If we don’t have a proper fundamental moral background, we will finally end up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in rights for anybody except the State.”― President Harry S. Truman

The coronavirus pandemic continues to be front and center when it comes to our personal liberties. L.D. 628is a good bill that would require a two-thirds vote of Maine’s Legislative Council to temporarily or permanently close a business or a civic or religious organization due to an emergency proclamation of the Governor intended to subside, clean up, or mitigate whatever danger may exist within an affected area during any state of emergency.

A hearing on L.D. 628 will be heard in the State and Local Government Committee on Monday, March 29.You can keep updated on the bill here L.D. 628.

Please Pray: Dear Father, during this pandemic we’ve been dealing with for over a year, our freedoms have been jeopardized. We ask You to protect civic and religious organizations from government overreach. May our Maine governor not inhibit the free exercise of our rights You have bestowed on us. In Jesus’ Name.  Amen
