LET TRIBUTE RING FOR THE MAN WHO LET RELIGIOUS FREEDOM RING
TELL YOUR CONSTITUENTS TO RING CHURCH BELLS AT 1PM EDT FRIDAY
Dear Colleague:
Many Americans are looking for a way to show their gratitude for the life of Ronald Wilson Reagan, who did so much for religious freedom and freedom of conscience. Most notably, Reagan helped restore the right of religious assembly for hundreds of millions of people behind the Iron Curtain.
It would be a fitting tribute then for houses of worship across the country to peal their bells on the day of President Reagan’s funeral in Washington, D.C.
I will be asking my constituents — and I recommend that other Members of Congress ask their constituents to do the same — to ring bells in city halls and houses of worship as President Reagan’s funeral concludes at 1pm EST (12pm CDT, 11am MDT, 10am PDT) on Friday. This would be an impressive gesture — bells ringing simultaneously across the continent in tribute to President Reagan.
Dr. James Dobson, among other national broadcasters, will encourage his listeners on his radio show Wednesday and Thursday to consider ringing out their appreciation and gratitude for President Reagan on Friday at 1pm EDT.
This will give your constituents a unique opportunity to be a part of the celebration of Reagan’s life, and at the same time, underscore President Reagan’s contribution to religious freedom the world over….
Sincerely,
/s/
Dana Rohrabacher
Member of Congress
