AUSTIN –I stand behind the City of Orange’s initial decision to display the nativity scene of Christ outside of City Hall.

In fact, I encourage the City of Orange to put the nativity scene back on display and not succumb to the those who threaten to silence what many of us hold so dear to our hearts – religious liberty.

Religious liberty is the foundation of our nation. If the City of Orange is worried about litigation, I am happy to make the first donation to their legal defense fund.
