The Employment Non-Discrimination Act is BAAAAACK
The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) is poised to rear its ugly and dangerous head again in the U.S. Senate in the next few weeks. The controversial Democrat-sponsored bill (S. 815) currently has 55 co-sponsors, only two of whom are Republicans: U.S. Senator Susan Collins (ME) and our very own, perpetually irksome U.S. Senator Mark Kirk, who has a particular fondness for all pro-homosexual legislation (don’t say we didn’t warn you). U.S. Senator Dick Durbin is also a co-sponsor.
ENDA “[p]rohibits employment discrimination on the basis of actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity by covered entities …
An Emasculated Focus on the Family — Say It Ain’t So
Editor’s Note: IFI requested comments or clarifications on the AOL article from Focus on the Family. They did not respond.

Pastor Ken Hutcherson writes that “Focus does have a new focus; an image change designed to make them accepted and well-liked rather than standing for righteousness …
Could ENDA Be Coming to a Christian Bookstore Near You?
Even as we’re working to represent Illinois families in Springfield, we must continue to keep an eye on what’s going on at the national level! The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) could come up in the U.S. House as early as this week, and it’s important to stand firm against this bill!
ENDA would prohibit both public and private employers from making employment decisions based on an employee’s actual or “perceived” sexual behavior, ambiguously defined as “sexual orientation.” What this means is that all Christian business owners, including those who run Christian bookstores and daycares, could not make choices about hiring …
ENDA Will Force Businesses to Accept Homosexual/Transgender Behavior
The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) is again being considered by our lawmakers in Washington D.C. ENDA is a federal law proposed by the homosexual lobby and would create a special class of protection based on someone’s actual or perceived ‘sexual orientation’ or ‘gender preference.’ The law would force Christian schools, organizations, Christian business owners, and more to hire and give preferential treatment to people involved in homosexual behavior and/or people physically altering their gender.
ACTION: Please ask your U.S. Representative in Washington D.C. to please vote ‘NO’ on ENDA! (Click HERE to read the current text of this bill.)

Congress Returns to Work & ENDA Is on the Agenda
Homosexual activists are again pushing radical legislation known as the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) — H.R. 2981 & S. 1584. It has already been introduced in both the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate and is currently in committee. President Barack Obama is on record supporting ENDA.

Co-sponsors from Illinois are U.S. Senators Dick Durbin (D), Roland Burris (D) …
