[stylist] {Disarmed} OT: Pennsylvania Guide Dog users: ATTENTION UPDATED INFO ON PA HOUSE BILL 165 REGARDING SERVICE AND GUIDE DOG LEGISLATION PROTECTION

Mon Mar 7 18:03:51 UTC 2011

Judith,
    I appreciate your reply. I can understand some of this logic; however, 
the freedom of religion does not allow an individual to violate the law. I 
realize I am preaching to the choir, so to speak, but one cannot use their 
religious tenets of human sacrifice to commit homicide. Likewise, one cannot 
use their religious tenets to discriminate against a person because of their 
race, ethnic origin, gender, disability, or any other protected class. If 
such a law is truly being considered, we need to block its introduction as 
unconstitutional!

fraternally yours,
Marion Gwizdala

>> Joe,
>>    I agree! I'm not sure why some would think that protecting our civil
