The following is a post by a patriot in support of Shelley Luther.  Shelley Luther was the salon owner in Dallas who opened her business so that she and her employees could feed their families.

The New “Luther” Reformation

Mrs. Luther, Yesterday, you opened your business without our permision.
Will you tell us now: Do you persist in keeping it opened?
Or are you prepared to retract these actions?

I ask pardon if I lack the manners that befit this court.
I was not brought up in liberal classrooms, but in the open land of Texas.
I am asked to retract these actions, but they are of different kinds.

Some, to feed my family and see that my employees can feed theirs;
If I were to retract these, I should be denying accepted Christian truths!
“For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.” 2 Thess 3:10

In others, I disobey an unlawful order,
And assail men who have afflicted Americans and ruined the bodies and souls of other men.
If I were to retract those, I should be like a cloak that covers evil!

Most Serene Governors, Illustrious Mayors, Noble Judge, I am only a woman, and not God.
But I must defend myself, as did Jesus Christ, when He said, as I say now:
“If I have done evil, bear witness against me.”

Mrs Luther, you have not yet answered the question.
Give us a simple answer: Will you recant, or will you not?

You ask for a simple answer. Here it is.
Unless you can convince me by The Constitution
And not by Ordinances, or Councils rules who have often contradicted each other–
Unless I am so convinced that I am wrong, I am bound to my beliefs by the Text of the Constitution and its Amendments!

My conscience is captive to the Law of the Land!
To go against conscience, is neither right, nor safe!
Therefore, I cannot and I will not recant!
Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me. Amen.
