Religious rally to feature Stutzman

Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-3rd, is among the scheduled speakers at a religious freedom rally Aug. 11 at the downtown Courthouse Green.

He "will give a briefing about efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act and the encroachment of government on religious liberty," according to rally organizers.

Stutzman, a former state lawmaker who was elected to Congress in 2010, is being challenged in the Nov. 6 general election by Democrat Kevin Boyd, a local Presbyterian pastor.

Others scheduled to speak at the rally are physician Tom McGovern and former WOWO radio-show host Pat Miller, who "will present an outline for winning at the ballot box in November," according to a news release.

Organizers include representatives of Scandinavia House Fort Wayne, Lutherans for Life, Allen County Right to Life and the Catholic Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend.
