Dear Governor Wolf,

Faith based organizations continue to be harassed and discriminated against by the left. This should frighten every citizen regardless of their political affiliation.

For most people of faith, exercising religious beliefs is essential, especially during a crisis. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has offered no good reason for refusing to trust congregants to use care in worship in the same way it trusts accountants, lawyers, retail stores and other workers to do the same.

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

Religious freedom is guaranteed under the constitution of the USA. I am requesting President Trump have Attorney General Barr review State of Pennsylvania and local policies to identify possible constitutional violations.

Sincerely,

Leonard A Deane Jr.
