Cisco fires Christian consultant because of his faith<\/h4>\n

Tell Cisco Chairman John Chambers that firing Christians based on their faith is discriminatory and intolerant.<\/h5>\n

June 29, 2011<\/p>\n

\"\"Imagine being fired from your job because you believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman. In an unbelievable case involving the well known corporation Cisco, my friend Frank Turek experienced the real world consequences of losing income solely because he held a view of marriage that was considered bigoted by one employee of Cisco. I implore you to take a couple of minutes andread what happened to Frank here<\/a>. Christians need to understand what is going on here.<\/p>\n

The homosexual lobby in this country is becoming more powerful and more brazen in their efforts to punish and intimidate anyone who disagrees with them. We (AFA) are hearing from employees who are being forced to attend “diversity” and “sensitivity” classes or else lose their job. Just this week we got a letter from a doctor at a children’s hospital in\u00a0Ohiowho sent us a picture of a “gay pride” exhibit on prominent display inside the hospital.<\/p>\n

I urge you today to take a moment and let the decision makers at Cisco hear from you.\u00a0If we don’t start to speak up and fight back we are going to continue to lose and one day soon it will be illegal to preach against homosexuality from the pulpit.<\/strong> That day is coming. Frank was treated unjustly and unfairly (fired) just because he held traditional views on marriage.<\/p>\n

TAKE ACTION<\/strong> and send this Action Alert to as many people as you can. Frank’s story can serve a great purpose if we can get it across the country.<\/p>\n

Send an email to Cisco<\/strong> and send this Action Alert to as many people as you can. Frank’s story can serve a great purpose if we can get it across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Take<\/a><\/td>\nSend your email letter now!<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

It is very important that you forward this alert to your friends and family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sincerely, <\/p>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America! You are losing your freedoms, your children and your country. Wake up and help stop it!","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/author\/dcalvin"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3474","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/403"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3474"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3474\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3476,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3474\/revisions\/3476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3474"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3474"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3474"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
