By SB200, A Colorado Judge Can Censor the Bible - Christian Opposition Press
Conference Today July 1, DTC Marriott

The following was released today by American Right to Life:

Colorado Governor Bill Ritter has signed an anti-Christian censorship law SB
200, that leaders representing many organizations will announce plans to
oppose at a press conference today, July 1 at 10:15 a.m. in the Primrose Room
at the Denver Tech Center Marriott, 4900 S. Syracuse.

Colorado State Rep. Kevin Lundberg confirms the fear of many Christians that,
"Section 8 of Senate Bill 200 is a wide open door for any judge to censor
anything that condemns homosexuality, including Scripture." The title of
Section 8 reads: "Publishing of discriminative matter forbidden."

"I do believe that the Bible is banned, under the plain language of this new
statute," said Steve Crampton, general counsel of Liberty Counsel, a national
pro-family litigation organization.

A panel available to the media at today's 10:15 a.m. press conference consists
of:

-- Mathew Staver, founder & chairman, Liberty Counsel
-- Steve Curtis, president, American RTL Action and former chairman of
the
Colorado GOP
-- Janet Folger, nationally syndicated talk show host
-- Kevin Swanson, Christian Home Educators of Colorado & Generations
Radio
-- Mark Hotaling, Christian Family Alliance & Colorado for Family
Values
-- Colorado State Representative Kevin Lundberg

Section 8 of the new law reads: "Publishing of discriminative matter
forbidden. No person, being the owner... agent, or employee of any place of
public accommodation... shall publish... distribute, give away... except as
provided in this section, any communication... book, pamphlet, writing... or
advertisement of any kind... intended or calculated to discriminate...
against... SEXUAL ORIENTATION, marital status... [which] is unwelcome..."

"American RTL Action is a political 527 group headquartered a half-block from
the Colorado capitol, and we're not going to hire someone cohabitating outside
of marriage..." said Steve Curtis, the group's president. "We will also
violate SB200's prohibition on publishing certain biblical teachings on
homosexuality cohabitation."

The media is invited to this press conference to be held in the Primrose Room
DTC Marriott at 4900 S. Syracuse St. at 10:15 a.m. today, July 1, 2008. (This
press conference is not an official function of, but is being held
concurrently with, the Colorado Renewal Project pastor's policy briefing whose
speakers include former Governor Mike Huckabee.)
