ACLU alert: Santorum's bill allows discrimination in the work place

Stop a Sneak Attack on Your Civil Rights and Health Care

Senator Rick Santorum is trying to rush a bill to the Senate floor that is so badly written that it could undermine civil rights protections in the workplace -- and make health care less accessible, more discriminatory and riskier.

This legislation would make it easier for individuals to impose their religious beliefs on their coworkers or customers. Unless stopped or amended, Senator Santorum’s bill would increase the likelihood that employees could ignore an employer’s policies against racial or religious harassment of coworkers.

The Santorum legislation would strengthen the hand of police officers who want to pick and choose who they will protect, and emergency health care workers and mental health counselors who could abandon patients because their care conflicts with the worker’s religious beliefs -- or simply because the patient is gay or lesbian.

Take Action! Don’t let Congress open the door to religious discrimination that will harm coworkers, patients or customers.

1. Wasn't there a similar effort in Michigan?

Santorum is human refuse. There is simply no words for this legislation.

2. I have never been so very ashamed...

...of my fellow Pennsylvanians as I am when I even hear the name Santorum, or at least the ones who voted for him. I hate him so much, I am practically incoherent when discussing anything about him.

3. You too?

He is a disgrace. I can't wait to vote him out of office. He is such a little lap dog for this administration. (oops did I use the dog word in describing Santorum?)

4. As a card-carrying member, I've already written to

the Alaska delegation, and would like to see everyone contact their own. This bill is highly disastrous to religious freedom and has a good chance if the Pukes treat it stealthily.

5. Bravely fighting the evils of butt-sex and beastiality

Vote Santorum: Because some Americans are better than others.
