Dear Judicial Watch Member,
I want to alert you to recent developments on
three critically important Judicial Watch legal
battlegrounds...which illustrate how our biggest caseload ever is
putting us on the front lines in the battles for the rule of law and
government transparency.
And I
respectfully ask you to consider a special contribution today so
that we can keep the pressure on all these fronts!
First, we filed a class action lawsuit last week in
federal court against Evanston, Illinois, over the city's use of race as an
eligibility requirement for a reparations program which
makes $25,000 payments to black residents and descendants of black
residents who lived in Evanston between 1919 and 1969.
This program is nothing more than a ploy to redistribute tax dollars to
individuals based on race...and it unconstitutionally discriminates against
anyone who does not identify as Black or African American.
We believe that "no discrimination based on race" means "no
discrimination based on race." Our lawsuit will be a historic defense of
our color-blind Constitution!
Second, last week we also filed a Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) for official emails in the personal email account
of Dr. David Morens, a senior advisor to Dr. Anthony Fauci, when Fauci
was director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We sued because HHS stonewalled our original FOIA request, after
it was revealed that Dr. Morens intentionally used his personal email to
hide conversations about the origins of COVID-19 and subvert federal
transparency laws. Judicial Watch broke open Hillary
Clinton's improper use of personal email servers to do official business
when she was Secretary of State...and we will not let other government
officials violate federal law in order to circumvent the people's "right to
know" and avoid accountability for their actions!
Third, in response to a Judicial Watch
FOIA request, two weeks ago we received records from the District
of Columbia that explain to illegal aliens and other noncitizens how
they can register to vote in Washington, DC elections!
Our release of these shocking documents put renewed pressure on
Congress, which oversees DC, to act responsibly and overturn this practice.
Illegal aliens and noncitizens should not vote in any
elections...and thankfully, one week ago a bipartisan majority
in the House of Representatives overturned the DC law, although a fight
awaits in the Senate.
We're in court fighting against woke racial discrimination
policies, we're in court fightingfor the American people's
right to know about how our government responded to COVID, and we're
using the legal system to expose the Left's corruption of honest
elections...and these are just three fronts where Judicial Watch is
standing up for the rule of law!
We
can do even more if you will help us with a contribution
today.
Thank you, in advance, for your support!
Sincerely,
Thomas Fitton President
