Yes it's true, American citizens are being punished for displaying our
national motto and using patriotic email signature blocks. This is similar to
what was occurring in the Roman Empire during the days of Peter. In fact Nero,
the Roman Emperor, hated Christians because they were
associated with the Jews and hostile to Roman idolatry. Nero
blamed the Christians when the city of Rome burned in A.D. 64 and then lied
that Christian's had started the fire. As a result vicious persecution against
Christians began, so Peter decided to write a 1 and 2 Peter. He sent these
letters to five provinces of Asia Minor to encourage Christians about the
persecution they were experiencing and to stand firm in the Lord. I would encourage this military veteran with Peter's words from 1 Peter 3:14
"But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you
are blessed.” And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled."
Even though we should stand and fight for our religious liberties
that are guaranteed to us by our Constitution, this scripture and many
more remind us it is a privilege and honor to suffer for righteousness
sake.
Here is the story about Boot Hawks:
A retired military veteran was placed on administrative leave after his employer denied his right to display "God Bless America" with his e-mail signature. The veteran, Boots Hawks, was asked to remove the statement from his signature block by his employer, Dameron Hospital, in Stockton, California. When he said he wanted to obtain legal counsel about his rights, he was placed on leave for insubordination. "Here we are right after Veterans Day recognizing individuals like this veteran, who fought to defend freedom and liberty for our country," said Hawks’ attorney, Brad Dacus of Pacific Justice Institute (PJI), "being punished simply because he wanted to have the display 'God Bless America' on his own email signature block."Hawks returned to his job after Veterans Day to find his computer password suspended and lock combinations changed. "No employee should ever be punished and disciplined for a patriotic statement like 'God Bless America,' and unfortunately this is exactly what this hospital decided to do," Dacus told OneNewsNow.com. PJI sent a strongly worded letter to supervisors reminding the hospital that Hawks has been a dedicated employee for 10 years and even earned "Employee of the Year" for his work.Since then, Dameron Hospital has cleared Hawks of insubordination, but continues to ban him from using "God Bless America" with his signature.
