In September of 2023, Mayor Robert Margolis of Rowlett Texas made his
discriminatory position clear on churches serving as voting locations
when reacting to Dallas County's selection of Freedom Place
Church as a voting site.

In an email to city officials, he said, "Rowlett City Council
will not allow voting to occur in any church building. That's
not where voting belongs, and especially when the Pastor of this
specific church has endorsed a candidate who will be on the ballot in
November."

Mayor Margolis's hostility to Freedom Place resulted in Dallas
County revoking an agreement for the church to serve as a voting site.

This year, Freedom Place has once again been chosen by county election
officials as an early voting location and the City of Rowlett and
Mayor Margolis are ratcheting up their hostility towards the church.

Now, just days away from the start of early voting, the city is
claiming it has discovered problems with the church's
certificate of occupancy, even though the certificate was issued a
year ago.

If the City rescinds the certificate, the church will be forced to
shut its doors and be prevented from serving its community as an early
voting location.

It's perfectly legal and common for churches to serve as voting
locations. They are seen by the communities they serve as trusted and
safe places and are relied on by local governments as polling places
each year.

That's why First Liberty is standing with Freedom Place Church.
These city officials can't be allowed to declare at the last
minute that it is improper for any church to serve as a voting site.

We will not stand by while religious hostility that flies in the face
of American history and tradition takes place. And this kind of
election interference will not be tolerated.

But to win this fight, we need your help.

Will you fight back with Pastor Kason and Freedom Place Church?

Yes, I will make a gift today!
