Wichita County Republican Women are signing up to support a cause protecting the First Amendment, inspired by an organization whose name focuses on liberty.
Kelly Shackelford is the president and CEO of Liberty Institute, an organization that advances the cause of religious liberty.
Shackleford talked about restoring religious freedom in America.
And, he shared several recent court cases like the cheerleaders in Kountze, Texas, who had to go to court, so they could continue writing scriptures on banners that football players run through before high school football games.
"When the government thinks it can tell people what their religion can be, and what religious groups have to do," Shakelford said.
Shackleford also talked about the Affordable Care Act and how he says it forces mandates that often go against biblical views, or faith of many Americans.
