Today, was a grassroots unofficial “Support Hobby Lobby Day”. I’ve seen several postings from friends on FB about it, and have reposted the messages.

Today, I went to Hobby Lobby and bought a few decorative items as a way of support. The 4 lanes were busy and periodically they got backed up with 8-10 people so hopefully, they will see an uptick in their sales for today.

The government cannot force you to follow laws that go against your fundamental religious belief.

Maybe so, but they damn sure can and will kill you if you don't. And this Government that the majority said, via their votes, are more than ready and willing to do just that.

I wish them well, but I think it is going to take mass civil disobedience and many companies and state governments saying NO MORE to the tyrant.

I enjoy shopping at Hobby Lobby too, but a special day like this can’t compensate them for $1.3 million PER DAY in government fines. Either they must cut all their employees back to 29.9 hours per week or declare bankruptcy. Either would make the Administration happy.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances”

Just word, just speeches...

I wonder if there is any way to offer medical insurance to them without the abortion stuff. There HAS to be a company out there that would offer insurance without paying for that kind of stuff. I just refuse to believe that there is not. It does not make sense to me. I wonder if this guy is using this as an excuse to drop the insurance or something. If I was the owner, I would be trying everything in my power to find some alternative. Plus doesn’t this mandatory insurance stuff begin in 2014???? Why is he sweating this now????

We shop at Hobby Lobby just for Christmas stuff, but now we’ll be visiting more often. There has to be a way to use the mandate against the government.

I also went to Hobby Lobby today. Bought some glue. Spoke to the manager and told him I am 100% behind his company’s efforts in this matter.

It may take civil disobedience, but nobama has got to learn you don’t screw around with people’s religious beliefs.

First, they came for Hobby Lobby...churches and Christians need to raise 'holy hell' about this...

"And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves..."

Since you will not see this covered in any of the liberal media, pass this on to all your contacts.

Mr. Green knows how 'things' work...

I ordered gifts for the future from Hobby Lobby online today. ;-)

There’s still time for you to do the same. They only charge $2 for shipping.

I adore Hobby Lobby...I always feel like I’ve walked into a wonderland! My prayers for them...the Lord knows their situation and they are in His hand.

Choosing between government or God? Thank you for choosing God.
