Roll Call on ENDA after 235-184 Passage; Liberty Counsel Asks for Presidential Veto

Click HERE for a list of Republicans and Democrats who broke with their party’s majority on the ENDA bill. 

From Liberty Counsel, November 7, 2007

Contact President Bush and Ask Him to Veto ENDA – H.R. 3685 Passed by a vote of 235 to 184

We told you earlier this week about the dangers of ENDA (Employment Nondiscrimination Act), which elevates “sexual orientation” to a protected civil right. Unfortunately, the bill passed this evening.

Religious freedom for Christian employees and business owners is in jeopardy! Read more about the dangers of ENDA.

President Bush has said that he will veto the bill. A veto override would require 270 votes (2/3 of the House).

Call the White House and ask President Bush to follow through on his promise to veto ENDA:

Comments: 202-456-1111
Switchboard: 202-456-1414
FAX: 202-456-2461

You can also send your comments to comments@whitehouse.gov, but an email is not a good substitute for a personal phone call!

Two amendments were passed with the bill and one was withdrawn. The bill is still a bad bill even with the amendments.

Miller Amendment PASSED by roll call vote: 422 (Y); 25 (N) (exempts certain religious positions that would also be exempt under other current civil rights law.)
 
Souder Amendment PASSED by roll call vote: 325 (Y); 101 (N) (removes prohibition against employers requiring an employee to be married or being eligible to be married.)

Baldwin Amendment was WITHDRAWN (would have given protection to transsexuals and cross-dressers.)
