RELIGIOUS FREEDOM DAY!

January 16 marks the date of the passage, in 1786, of Thomas Jefferson's Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom.  Religious Freedom Day is celebrated in America each year on January 16.......News to you too?
From Thomas Jefferson:  "No provision in our Constitution ought to be dearer to man than that which protects the rights of conscience against the enterprises of the civil authority".
He also said: "Our rulers can have no authority over such natural rights, only as we have submitted to them.  The rights of conscience we never submitted, we could not submit"........Medicineman!
