if .theyre offering a service....theyre offering a service. if thevyev not stated ANY set of requirements.....[ legal or otherwise ] and denied service based on “relgious” reasons...theyre treading on very thin ice.

It seems to me that in a free country, a business owner would intrinsically and inherently retain the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.

there workng in new territory with a unique self directed charity...sort of business.

I suspect that the days of common sense and common deceny...have gone away for a while...

Ted Cruz is doing just that. AND the MSM seems to be covering it.

It would be interesting to see the reaction if he started calling some of them out by name.

Clickable link to donate through Franklin Graham’s site here. I LOVE how he lists this under, “Persecuted Christians USA.”

I saw in an earlier post of this same story where they said you could donate to the couple throuigh their church.

Sorry, I don't have that specific info.. but THEIR church is currently taking contributions on behalf of the family.

Well then.. WHY NOT this?

I have donated to Samaritan’s Purse in the past and most likely will do sk again in the future. I think they are one of a few reputable charities. I am slightly concerned that the website says that money is for “persecuted Christians”, so donating thinking that your full amount would go to help this couple specifically may not be entirely correct. Perhaps as you get further on in the donation process there is a way to allocate your donation though.

I didn't see anything on the Samaritan's Purse donation windows that allowed you to specifically direct the donation to the Kleins. However their picture is prominent, and the category is 'Persecuted Christians in the United States'. Good enough for me.
Also, perhaps it is legally safer to make it a general category - rather than specific.

That’s all fine and good, but they will be immediately tested again, and may very well receive another fine.

Perhaps we should start a campaign on one or more of these sites:
