Faith Based Organizations

Millions of Americans are inspired to take part in philanthropy, education, and charitable missions by their religious beliefs.  My own faith has inspired and guided me throughout my political career.  I believe that people of faith should have the right to take part in public life without fear of discrimination and that faith-based organizations should have the same rights as secular organizations.  I also have supported faith-based organizations that provide financial counseling, health care services, and educational services. Faith can be an enormous force for good in our society, and I will continue to work to enact legislation that recognizes that fact.
