Dear Friend,

Life in America has become a gut-wrenching, soul-sucking, misery-drenched, demoralizing existence.
 
We have managed to survive crackdowns, clampdowns, shutdowns, showdowns, shootdowns, standdowns, knockdowns, putdowns, breakdowns, lockdowns, takedowns, slowdowns, meltdowns, and never-ending letdowns.
 
We’ve had our freedoms turned inside out, our democratic structure flipped upside down, and our house of cards left in a shambles.

We’ve been railroaded into believing that our votes count, that we live in a democracy, that elections make a difference, that it matters whether we vote Republican or Democrat, and that our elected officials are looking out for our best interests.

I’m outraged at what is being done to our country and our freedoms.
 
Even so, I’m not breaking up with America and I’m not giving up on her, and neither should you.
 
I plan to keep fighting, writing, speaking up, speaking out, shouting if necessary, filing lawsuits, challenging the status quo, writing letters to the editor, holding my representatives accountable, thinking nationally but acting locally, and generally raising a ruckus anytime the government attempts to undermine the Constitution and ride roughshod over the rights of the citizenry.
 
Appearances to the contrary, this country does not belong exclusively to the corporations or the special interest groups or the oligarchs or the war profiteers or any particular religious, racial or economic demographic.
 
This country belongs to all of us: each and every one of us—“we the people”—but most especially, this country belongs to those of us who love freedom enough to stand and fight for it.

The Rutherford Institute is doing its part, but we can't do it alone.

Please take a moment to show that you stand with The Rutherford Institute in our critical efforts to push back against the government’s power grabs, corruption, immorality and ongoing assaults on the Constitution.

Together, we WILL make America free again.

For freedom,

John W. Whitehead
President  

P.S. The Rutherford Institute—nonpartisan, apolitical and committed to the principles enshrined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights—is working hard to push back against the government’s heavy-handed tyranny on almost every front. Still, we couldn’t do all that we do without you.
