Multi-faith letter calling on leaders to reject the (lousy) USCCR letter on religious liberty

Thanks to the good folks at the Religious Freedom Institute for organizing this multi-faith letter to President Obama, Rep. Ryan, and Sen. Hatch, urging them to "renounce publicly the claim that 'religious freedom' and 'religious liberty' are 'code words' or a 'pretext' for various forms of discrimination.  There should be no place in our government for such a low view of our First Freedom—the first of our civil rights—least of all from a body dedicated to protecting them all."  Amen.  Read the whole thing (it's not long).

UPDATE:  The USCCB's press release about the letter is here.
