Participants include faith leaders, community leaders, professionals, students and concerned citizens throughout southern New Mexico who have a vested interest in protecting American civil rights and the integrity of the United States Constitution. Communities are specifically marching in protection of America’s First Amendment rights, which exist to allow everyone the freedom to practice their faith in whatever manner without government intervention. “We believe our Religious Freedoms are currently being threatened by the federal government through a set of mandates currently being considered that infringe on religious beliefs”, says, Rev. Mike Skidmore, Senior Pastor at Full Gospel Tabernacle in Truth or Consequences.
Government is forcing religious organizations to change their interpretations of the Bible. Recently, the President abandoned his stance on forcing religious organizations and citizens to pay for contraceptive products and demanded that insurance companies step-in to provide the coverage in order to “accommodate” religious groups.
“U.S. Citizens living under the social contract of the United States Constitution should not have to consider such accommodations…American Constitutional rights are not something Americans compromise on or negotiate… there should be no compromise or accommodation on religious freedoms”, says Peter Ibarbo, Board Member, Hispano Chamber of Commerce de Las Cruces.
