In his earlier service he was a noted champion of faith-based services . . . Chet Edwards (D-TX), first elected to the House in 1991, was defeated. Edwards has been one of the fiercest congressional critics of the faith-based initiative and a harsh opponent of what he called 'religious job discrimination' by faith-based organizations that receive federal funds." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/11/04/what-difference-does-this-election-make-for-religious-hiring-rights/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/04/21/austin-r-nimocks-the-enda-religious-freedom/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/04/21/austin-r-nimocks-the-enda-religious-freedom/#comments Wed, 21 Apr 2010 17:38:59 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/04/21/austin-r-nimocks-the-enda-religious-freedom/ Austin R.

Nimocks] with the The Alliance Defense Fund, a conservative Christian non-profit organization, argues that Christian businesses . . . have every reason to be concerned. 'A law that would require an organization to retain employees who don't fulfill that organization's mission is a dangerous law,' he said. 'It's like requiring an environmental group to fill up its board with a bunch of lumberjacks or requiring a Democratic senator to hire a bunch of Republican staffers.'" ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/04/19/could-gay-protections-trump-religious-freedom/feed/ 0
