To Whom It May Concern:

OK, have our lawmakers gone mad? It used to be if you did the crime, you paid the time. Why should

our hard earned money(yes, some of us are still paying our own way) be robbed from us to pay for

what clearly is not our mistake and, more importantly, goes against God's laws? When did our law

makers acquire more wisdom than our Creator? The last statistic I read assured me that the majority of

our country was still Christian. Have you read the Ten Commandments that apply to ALL Christians

lately? Well, if not, you should take a deep look at them and study their meaning. They are all about

what is true and good and we should follow them carefully. Clearly, we have lost our way especially

when God fearing Christians are forced by the government to break the Creator's laws.

Somewhere in our U.S.Constitution seperation of church and state is outlined. Why are we supposed to

uphold government laws, but the government can attack and violate church law?

What if all God fearing people quit paying taxes because they refused to disobey God? Would our jail

cells be filled with all the hard working, decent people? Well, put me in jail.

Awhile back I read that in the near future, if we uphold God's teachings, we will be breaking the law of

our government. It looks like that time has come. I am so sad but will keep praying

that our law makers come to their senses.

We will all face the judgement of God one day and I pray He is merciful to the ignorance or weakness

of some of our mislead government leaders among others.

Call me a fanatic but I am so saddened at the direction our country has gone. Our moral compass is

spinning out of control.

Respectfully,

Elizabeth Reilly

I am writing today to ask in the strongest way possible that you rescind the unjust and coercive

mandate that all "contraceptives" and sterilization procedures be covered by private health insurance

with no co-pay to patients. If you do not reverse course I ask you to expand conscience protections for

any organizations that provide individual and group insurance and have moral or religious objections. I

strongly oppose the government forcing free insurance coverage on Americans especially for drugs and

devices that I oppose because some of these can cause an abortion (such as ella and Plan B).

I also ask you to reconsider your definition of religious employer and offer an authentic conscience

protection for any organization and business that has moral or religious objection to providing such

insurance to their employees. This legal mandate clearly violates the spirit of conscience laws which

prohibit government discrimination against those who object to various health services on moral or

religious grounds. The definition of "religious employer" in the regulation is so narrow as to only include
churches, but will still mean that a host of businesses and organizations that have conscience objections

will be required to choose between either violating their conscience or not being able to offer employees

health insurance.

Please protect the conscience rights of insurers, providers and people like me who object to being

forced by the federal government to offer or subsidize contraceptives and sterilization services, especially

when some of these drugs can take the life of early unborn children. No Americans should be forced by

the federal government to essentially subsidize services they object to. I again urge you in the strongest

way possible to reverse course and remove contraceptives and sterilizations from the list of mandatory

preventive services.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Reilly
