tony perkins, the president of the evangelical family research council at cpac now. not surprising. we've had other educational institutions that have also filed suit. before this decision was handed down knowing that it was coming. so this is to be expected. this issue goes beyond health care, contraception. this as many are seeing this across the country is an issue of religious liberty and whether or not the government can force people to violate the tenets of their faith. >> let's talk about now what you're going to say. is this part of what you're going to talk about when you take the stage this afternoon? >> we, don, actually it is. there's very key elements of the conservative movement. strong defense, peace through security, free enterprise system, and a strong family -- strong families, the church that develop character. and we have seen from this administration most profoundly in this past week through this mandate an attack on the church and the family being able to you know, order their lives according to the teachings of their faith. this is a big deal a
