God and truth matter most

On February 22, 2012
Hal and Marge Joyce

To the editor:

We called the people in Washington in regard to the letter concerning the Department of Health and Human Services. We told them we support H.R. 1179 and S. 1467 (Respect for Rights of Conscience Act).

We also left them the following message: “What you think doesn’t matter. What your constituents think doesn’t matter. What God thinks and what is truth does matter.”

Hal and Marge Joyce, Waunakee
