Congress of the Ynited States
Washington, BE 20515

Mr. Drew Brees
‘New Orleane Seints Training Facility
‘5800 Airline Drive
Meter, LA 70003-3876
Dear Mr. Brees:
Americans seross the county support your promotion of Bring Your Bible to Schoo! Day,
Bring Your Bible to School Day is recognized on October 3rd. On this day, studenscan share an
important part oftheir ideatty with their peers. As any family can attest, children can have
hard time making friends and feeling comfortable in new environments. On Bring Your Bible to
School Day, students are also abe to find other students that share their faith and establish new
fRiendships. Over halfs milion students participated last year.
Ina country that celebrates religious freedom and ideological diversity, encoureging students to
live out thei faith is fitting. Moreover, ur country was founded on the principles of fee speech
‘and religion, and th First Amendment protects these foundational rights. While we can have
‘ideological differences, no American should be attacked because of his or her faith.
‘Unfortunately, while you never mentioned LGBT groups, mean-spirited antagonists have
tacked you for associating with an organization with idealogy different than their evn. These
stacks are short-sighted and frankly un-American,
| appl you for standing up for your fath and encouraging children tod the sme. By your
‘actions, you have proven yourself a role model for young Americans across our nation. They
Took up fo you sda we ad many oer. Donat et the enagonits et under vou kn.
a Bang, Famndbomn
