Like many of you, I am concerned about recent actions taken by the government; specifically, the war on religion. The government's health insurance rules concerning religion-affiliated employers providing contraception services to employees. What this boils down to is that Catholic women will be forced by the insurance companies and the government to take birth control pills despite their religious beliefs. That's right, all women will have to take birth control measures, even if they don't want to. The government is taking away our freedom to choose on this issue.

I also understand the war on religion, through Michelle Obama's "exercise" campaign, will force Baptist children to dance and also require Jehovah's Witnesses to celebrate birthdays. Roman Catholics will be forced to give up the Sabbath and begin worshipping on Saturdays.

Thankfully, we have Sens. Roberts and Moran and Rep. Huelskamp to fight for us in Congress.

So far, they have saved important tax breaks for middle-class workers like us when they extended the Making Work Pay tax credit and the FICA tax holiday. They solved the Postal Service's pension problems so no rural post offices will close. But their biggest success has been the reform legislation that guarantees the U.S. financial system will never again have a meltdown like we saw in 2008. Thank you for your hard work in these areas.
