Dear John,
There’s no two ways about it. This has been a difficult year.
And I’m troubled by it.
But this year hasn’t been difficult for the reasons that you might think.
Thanks to your support, we continue to win for religious freedom in courtrooms all over the country.
From the precedent-setting Supreme Court victory for Gerald Groff and all employees seeking religious accommodations to last week’s win at the Second Circuit Court of Appeals for all houses of worship in New York, we keep winning.
Help Secure Religious Liberty for the Next Generation. Join the Fight for Faith, Family and Freedom!
I am troubled because the radical left has quietly restarted their attacks on our Supreme Court.
Two years ago, you and I, along with 500,000 likeminded patriots, put a stop to President Biden’s attempt to pack the Supreme Court.
When new calls to pack the court started after last year’s Kennedy and Dobbs decisions, we stood together and stopped the radical Left again.
Right now, they are at it again. But it’s different this time.
You see, there are still many proponents of court-packing in power, and they have developed a truly nefarious scheme to take control of the courts.
Instead of trying to change the court’s make-up by adding justices, the radical Left is working to delegitimize the Supreme Court by discrediting the conservative justices.
And they’ll use any means to do it.
Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch are all being regularly smeared in the media.
Regardless of the fact that there isn’t any evidence of wrongdoing or of the justices failing to comply with the existing financial standards.
The reality is that the Left just wants to create the appearance of impropriety and trigger the expected calls for these conservative justices to resign or be impeached.
But impeachment isn’t their ultimate endgame.
In truth, the radical Left wants to end the separation of powers...end the independent judiciary...end the ability to protect your religious freedom.
To accomplish this, they’re already proposing “ethics” laws that would allow Congress to act as judge and jury regarding the actions and behaviors of Supreme Court justices.
Can you and I really trust Congress to have this type of authority over the Supreme Court?
No. We must make sure that the judiciary remains independent...That the intent of Article 3 of the Constitution remains as written.
That’s why it is time to sound the alarm once again, to stand firmly for the Constitution and to protect the priceless heritage of the Supreme Court.
The Future of the Supreme Court Depends on You. It’s Time to be Strong and of Good Courage.
Over the past 2 years, time and time again the Supreme Court has taken heroic stands for faith and freedom.
They’ve restored public expressions of faith, redefined religious accommodations in the workplace and eliminated the exclusion of faith-based groups and individuals from government programs.
Now, all of that is in jeopardy.
We’re ready to fight back, but we can’t stop this threat to the court without your financial support.
And when you give to First Liberty before midnight on December 31st, our $600,000 Matching Grant will double the impact of your gift and give us the resources we need to stop this brazen power grab.
Will you stop the Radical Left from moving forward with their dangerous scheme?
Yes, I will make a gift today!
Grateful for you,
Kelly
