In the last two weeks, a debate has arisen in our town that needs your attention. There is an ordinance up for debate that will prohibit "discrimination" against gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgenders in employment and housing. The fee for "discriminating" is minimal, but the recognition for the "alternate-lifestyle" crowd could be very damaging for many who value free speech, free thought, and free action. This ordinance has been designed as a platform for action on the state level.
The ordinance, while offering a few exceptions, will infringe on our basic rights as Christians and citizens of Ogden, Utah, and the United States.

Please help us defeat this law by contacting our city council and mayor to ask that freedoms would not be taken away.
It doesn't matter where you live.
The city council just needs to hear an outcry against this ordinance.
You can email the Ogden City Council at citycouncil@ogdencity.com.
They can be reached by snail mail at:
Ogden City Council

Our mayor is Mayor Matthew Godfrey.
He is a good man, and he would like to hear from you as well.
Please email him at:
Thank you very much!
P.S. If you have time, it would be better for each council members to receive an email from each person. Here are their individual emails:
bartblair@ogdencity.com
brandon@ogdenmunicipalward2.com
neilgarner@ogdencity.com
dougstephens@ogdencity.com
susievanhooser@ogdencity.com

amywicks@ogdencity.com
I emailed and called the Mayor, and sent an email to all my "peeps"! Then I translated it into Spanish and sent it to my "peeps" in Mexico! Oh, and I plan to email the council members too.
