We are Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical Christians who have united at this hour to reaffirm fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon our fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join us in defending them. These truths are:
1.the sanctity of human life 2.the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife 3.the rights of conscience and religious liberty. Inasmuch as these truths are foundational to human dignity and the well-being of society, they are inviolable and non-negotiable. Because they are increasingly under assault from powerful forces in our culture, we are compelled today to speak out forcefully in their defense, and to commit ourselves to honoring them fully no matter what pressures are brought upon us and our institutions to abandon or compromise them. We make this commitment not as partisans of any political group but as followers of Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Done. A very important project. Thanks for posting it.
Done and thank you. I was surprised this didn’t get more play on FR than it did. I’m glad you put it up for the fourth day.
I just put it up yesterday. Think the moderators would get annoyed if I put it up once a day for a couple of days?
Signed.
Jim, I know you posted this earlier. Maybe worth putting this link somewhere prominent in the Forum where it will be seen, and can be signed by interested Freepers?
I hope this will be widely spread, be taken seriously, and do some good.
I cannot understand why most seem unable to comprehend you cannot have “gay rights” and “abortion rights” and religious freedom at the same time...
Signed it.
Now I’m on Ayer’s list of 25 million.
Done!
Finally some real leaders step forward!! Let there be a revival of the American Christians to save this country for Christ. Stand up! for Christ!
Has the site crashed or something? I have tried to access manhattandeclaration.org from your link, from google, and just typing it in the address field and had no luck.
The site seems to be blocked, perhaps because up to 2000 an hour sign ups are overloading its server.
Not surprising. Hugh Hewitt spent most of his show talking about it today. That was what prompted me to check it out.
Mrs. Taxman and I both signed it.
Done!!
I’m in...
Given the population growth that's occurred since Ayers postulated the List of 25 Million, it's now closer to 40 million.
Read and done! It is extremely well written, and infinitely reasonable.
signed back when it was just 20,000!!!! GO Manhattan Declaration!
