Statement from Brent Bozell

“August 1st is a day that will live in infamy for the First Amendment and the fundamental freedoms and rights we as a people have enjoyed since the founding of our nation.  The HHS mandate imposed on the American people is the beginning of the end of freedom as America has known it and loved it.  August 1st marks the day when many family owned and operated businesses lose their rights to exercise their faith in their daily lives.  The government has told them — either comply with this mandate in violation of your faith and do what we tell you, or you will pay crippling faith fines to the federal government.  With the stroke of a pen, the Obama Administration has shredded the First Amendment and the Constitution right before our eyes.”
