Dear Friend,

It’s a dangerous time for anyone who still clings to the idea that freedom means the right to think for yourself.
 
Government representatives (those elected and appointed to work for us) have adopted the authoritarian notion that the government must control, regulate and dictate almost everything about the citizenry’s public, private and professional lives.
 
This overbearing despotism is the very definition of a Nanny State.
 
This tug-of-war for control and sovereignty over our selves impacts almost every aspect of our lives, whether you’re talking about decisions relating to our health, our homes, our families, what we consume, what we drive, what we wear, how we spend our money, how we protect ourselves and our loved ones, and even who we associate with and what we think.
 
This is not freedom.

This is why the work of The Rutherford Institute to push back against the government’s overreaches and abuses remains so critical, and why we so urgently need you to support our efforts—both in and out of the courtroom—to push back against these incursions on our freedoms.

Understanding what we’re up against, some donors have joined together to issue a special $250,000 year-end challenge.

Especially now, with so much hanging in the balance across the nation (and budgetary shortfalls that must be made up), it’s vital that The Rutherford Institute remain on the front lines of the fight for freedom in America.
 
Please take a moment to show that you stand with us in this critical fight for liberty and justice for all.
  
If you’re able to make a tax-deductible donation of $100, $250 or even $1000 or more, it would go a long way towards ensuring that The Rutherford Institute is able to stay in the battle, keep sounding the alarm, and do everything in our power to hold the line for freedom. All donations—including one-time gifts, monthly pledges and stock donations—made between now and December 31 will count towards this year-end challenge.

Together, we WILL make America free again.

For freedom,

John W. Whitehead
President
