I just called the Department of Justice today. I have never done anything like this before but I felt compelled.
You see, it was all over the news yesterday that the DOJ had set up a special hotline number and an email address to report potential civil rights violations by the government!
Finally, I thought. Finally the government is willing to listen to us ordinary citizens whose God-given rights are being trampled and ignored in favor of the government’s misguided and over-zealous policy initiatives.
No. I am not an illegal alien. But if the government has its way, I am soon to be an illegal Catholic. This because I refuse to be intimidated by and to comply with government agencies that try to force me to buy things the violate my religious beliefs.
So thought it was a great thing that at least one part of the government is concerned about civil rights violations by other parts of the government, so I called.
I am not sure exactly what the answer I received means, but I am sure my religious liberty will be restored soon. The answer I got was cryptic but encouraging. “Mailbox is full.” I am sure that thousands of other abused Catholics got the same idea and called the civil rights abuse hotline at 1-855-353-1010. But just in case, I think you should call it too just so they get the message.
If you cannot get through, do like I did and send them a follow up mail at SB1070@usdoj.gov

i just called and spoke to a woman and explained that i please that they set up this hot line and when was the doj going to investigate the violation of my civil rights by making me and my husband cancel our health insurance for our family of 8 in order that we don't pay for abortifacients. and that i would like a call back about the progress of the investigation and that i know that the potus was more interested in immigration and not poor Catholic's being forced to give their healthcare up but i was also important and my rights were being violated. she said she would note their files…
