THREAD: Missouri House Committee debates legislation tonight that could put plaintiffs in danger of harassment, death threats and physical harm. #MOleg
HB 728 prohibits people from anonymously filing church-state lawsuits. We’ve seen the impact firsthand. Plaintiffs should not be forced to go public as they fight to protect religious freedom for all. #MOleg 
When Joanne Bell challenged public school-sponsored prayers, her home was burned down, and she was assaulted in the school parking lot. bit.ly/2XXmyou #MOleg
When Darla Kaye Wynne, a Wiccan, objected to opening a town council session with a Christian prayer in South Carolina, someone broke into her home, killed her pets and left a note saying "You're next!" bit.ly/2Hh98P1 #MOleg
When Madalyn Murray O’Hair challenged official prayer and Bible readings at her children’s public school, her kids were beaten and her house firebombed. #MOleg news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/…
Bottom line: This bill endangers plaintiffs and discourages people from filing lawsuits to protect their religious freedom. The Committee should oppose HB 728. bit.ly/2UvAiEM #MOleg
