Tuesday, Senator Ed Setzler introduced SB 180, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act – which ensures that your religious freedom will be treated as a first class right, just like your right to free speech or free assembly.
This legislation mirrors the federal RFRA, which was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1993 with sweeping bipartisan support. With the radical, Marxist, and anti-faith worldview that permeates so many now in power in Washington and the drastic overreach of government, we cannot afford to wait any longer to secure this right for all Georgians.

A great video about RFRA has been produced so that you can better understand and discuss this important legislation. To view this video, click here.

Senator Setzler is a dear friend and strong ally. He has labored over this issue for years and has put in extensive work to give us our best chance to pass this bill. He is a godly and devoted public servant, and this is why Frontline Policy Action made his election our #1 priority this cycle. Please keep him and his family in your prayers as he battles for your religious freedom!
Now, we are also grateful that Setzler does not stand alone. With him included, 25 of the 33 Republicans in the Senate have signed onto the legislation. 29 votes are needed to pass in that Chamber, and we are confident that a few who have not co-sponsored are strongly with us. However, we encourage you to either thank your Senator for signing on OR ask them to make certain to take this important stand.
