president donald trump – Madison Catholic Herald

President Donald Trump announced on Friday, Jan. 25, that he would grant a temporary, three-week reopening of the federal government, even without a deal for border wall funding.

He signed a bill to reopen the government until February 15 and promised that federal employees would receive their backpay “very quickly.”

I was happy to hear that the federal government was reopening, but this doesn’t mean we won’t face a shut-down again in the future. We have to do something to get our government back on track permanently.

Sign letter on religious freedom

In recent years, I have written about the struggles of the Little Sisters of the Poor to provide the kind of health coverage that respects their faith and moral values.

I’ve also written about a car dealership in Minnesota that did not want to provide abortion-inducing drugs to its employees. “It has long been my conviction to run my business according to the teachings of my faith,” said Doug Erickson of Hastings Chevrolet.

Need for an executive order

These are just two instances where religious freedom has been imperiled.

One way to protect religious freedom is for President Donald Trump to sign an executive order promoting religious freedom.
