      On the contrary he is not campaigning for it he says and he is not running.

    The only important issue is MBP! For the first time in America, there is a law regulating a religious practice.
    How many yidden will(or may have) refuse a bris, or at least insist on no MBP. it’s often very hard to convince a person to have or to give a child a bris as it is, how many have we lost because of the poision publicity surrounding this issue and the form people have to sigm in NYC. I don’t think it will stop with this illegal disgusting regulation either. If there is more to come we will havea harder time fighting if we give in on MBP. To paraphrase what the Rebbe has said in so many ways, the governments in golus have some control of our bodies, but not our Torah.

      No need for that. The Seven Laws of Noah were recognized by the United States Congress in the preamble to the 1991.

      So no more encroaching will ya.

      Any official acceptance of the 7 mitzvos, by any governmental body in the USA, would be unconstitutional anyway.

      The only difference between halacha and shari`a is that halacha is the Truth, given by the Creator, and shar`a is a false system invented by humans. When truth and falsehood both claim to be the truth, does the fact that one is false mean the other must be too?! Or that the actual truth must not claim to be so, just because falsehood makes the same claim?! You’re not being logical. US law also claims to have absolute authority; do you make the same complaint against it?!
