Rep. Loudermilk has issued the following statement after introducing the Religious Freedom Resolution, H.Con.Res. 126:

“Religious persecution has been present throughout history, and was one of the prevalent factors that led our founders to declare independence from England. It is naïve to think that it could never reappear in America, which is why it’s imperative that the United States continue to acknowledge the importance of our religious freedom. Our founders were branded as traitors, imprisoned, and faced execution for their dedication to freedom, but they were willing to give their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor so future generations of Americans could live in freedom. To this day, people from around the world seek our shores as they flee religious persecution. I want to thank my colleagues for supporting this resolution, and reaffirming what our founders fought and died for. May the United States always be the land of the free.”
