Nearly 1000 Christians of all ages rallied in front of the McNamara Federal Building in downtown Detroit to protest the Obama administration’s HHS mandate. Mr. Thompson, one of nine distinguished speakers who addressed the crowd, drew thunderous applause as he told the crowd,
“Christians were born for combat.” Christ said ‘I did not come to bring peace, but a sword'”.
Thompson continued,
“Peace is not our goal. Righteousness is our goal. It is our duty to resist.”
Thompson’s speech was referenced in the Detroit Free Press and USA Today.
Today, hearings on Obamacare continue in the United States Supreme Court. Two years ago, on March 23, 2010 the Thomas More Law Center (TMLC) filed the first lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Obamacare. In 2011, TMLC filed the first petition to the U. S. Supreme Court.
