Hobby Lobby To Close All Stores

BREAKING: Hobby Lobby To Close All Stores – The Reason Why Is Heartbreaking Biblical Principles
 
THE  GODLESS SATANIC  U.S.  FAKE  ‘GOVERNMENT’  IS  MAKING  SURE  HOBBY  LOBBY  CLOSES

MUST  READ  THIS — CHRISTIANS… THEY  ARE  WORKING  ON  US !!  STAND  UP  AND  BE  COUNTED

AMONG  THOSE  DEFENDING  OUR  FIRST  AMENDMENT  RIGHTS  AND  OUR  FAITH!  

With over 500 locations in 41 states, Hobby Lobby is one of the most popular stores in America. However, the brand has become controversial in the last few years since it refuses to back down from it’s strong Christian beliefs. (These beliefs and practices hurt no one, but instead provide honesty and enjoyment to all.)

Liberals have been trying to shut down Hobby Lobby for years, but the chain has always remained strong – until now. According to American News, Hobby Lobby founder and CEO David Green just released an open letter explaining that he may need to close all of his stores. 

Here’s the full letter:

When my family and I started our company 40 years ago, we were working out of a garage on a $600 bank loan, assembling miniature picture frames. Our first retail store wasn’t much bigger than most people’s living rooms, but we had faith that we would succeed if we lived and worked according to God’s Word.

From there, Hobby Lobby has become one of the nation’s largest arts and crafts retailers, with more than 500 locations in 41 states. Our children grew up into fine business leaders, and today we run Hobby Lobby together as a family.

We’re Christians, and we run our business on Christian principles. I’ve always said that the first two goals of our business are (1) to run our business in harmony with God’s laws, and (2) to focus on people more than money. And that’s what we’ve tried to do.

We close early so our employees can see their families at night. We keep our stores closed on Sundays, one of the week’s biggest shopping days, so that our workers and their families can enjoy a day of rest.

We believe that it is by God’s grace that Hobby Lobby has endured, and He has blessed us and our employees. We’ve not only added jobs in a weak economy, we’ve raised wages for the past four years in a row. Our full-time employees start at 80% above minimum wage.  But now, our ‘government’ threatens to change all of that.

A new ‘government’ healthcare mandate says that our family business MUST provide what I believe are abortion-causing drugs as part of our health insurance.

Being Christians, we don’t pay for drugs that might cause abortions, which means that we don’t cover emergency contraception, the morning-after pill or the week-after pill. We believe doing so might end a life after the moment of conception, something that is contrary to our most important beliefs. It goes against the Biblical principles on which we have run this company since day one.

If we refuse to comply, we could face $1.3 million PER DAY in government fines.
Our government threatens to fine job creators in a bad economy.
Our government threatens to fine a company that’s raised wages four years running.
Our government threatens to fine a family for running its business according to its beliefs. It’s not right. I know people will say we ought to follow the rules, that it’s the same for everybody, but that’s not true.

The ‘government’ has exempted thousands of companies from this mandate for reasons of convenience or cost,  but it won’t exempt them for reasons of religious belief.
So, Hobby Lobby and my family are forced to make a choice. With great reluctance, we filed a lawsuit today represented by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, asking a federal court to stop this mandate before it hurts our business.

We don’t like to go running into court, but we no longer have a choice. We believe people are more important than the bottom line and that honoring God is more important than turning a profit.

My family has lived the American dream. We want to continue growing our company and providing great jobs for thousands of employees, but the ‘government’ is going to make that much more difficult.

The ‘government’ is forcing us to choose between following our faith and following the law. I say that’s a choice no American and no American business should have to make.

The ‘government’ cannot force you to follow laws that go against your fundamental religious belief. They have exempted thousands of companies but will not except Christian organizations including the Catholic church.

Since you will not see this in the liberal media, please pass this on to all your contacts.

Sincerely,
David Green
CEO and Founder of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.
