First Liberty



First Liberty is stepping in to defend Auburn Football Coach Hugh
Freeze.

Anti-religion groups are coming hard after Coach Freeze. Why? Because
he went to "Unite Auburn," an after-hours worship
gathering where hundreds of students were baptized. They're
especially upset because he participated in one of his player's
baptism. To be clear, the student asked Coach Freeze if he would help
baptize him.

Again, activists are inventing a problem where one doesn't
exist. If you follow recent headlines and college football, you
probably heard them rattle off talking points about government,
coercion and the Constitution.

Our opponents can't seem to grasp the concept that football
coaches have constitutional rights. What Coach Freeze did is NOT
unconstitutional. It's not "coercion" or
"establishing" a religion. That's just a football
coach exercising his rights and supporting students.

You know that for years our opponents argued that Coach Joe Kennedy
didn't have a right to pray on the field. But they were wrong,
and their arguments fell flat. The U.S. Supreme Court correctly held
in Kennedy v. Bremerton that government may not single out religious
speech.

Even still, the enemies of faith won't accept that they lost
this battle at the highest court in America. For some reason, they
think they can get away with illegally blocking the Constitution.

That isn't going to happen on our watch. Coach Freeze has a
constitutional right to express his faith. And First Liberty is
fighting to make sure his liberty is not stripped away.

To you, our faithful, supporter: You helped First Liberty achieve
major Supreme Court victories. Those triumphs made it clear that just
because you're a public employee, this doesn't mean your
constitutional rights are suspended.

Our enemies, however, are fighting us harder than ever before. They
don't want us to keep winning. For you and for us, this means we
have work to do. A LOT of work.

We can't sit by as a few roaming complainers defy the Supreme
Court.�

First Liberty is counting on your support.�Americans like Coach
Freeze are counting on us. Let's get to work, take on the
challenges and win even more legal battles across the country to
enforce a proper understanding of the Constitution.
