John, As the Philanthropy Director, every gift to the Center for American Liberty crosses my desk -- so I know this message from Riley Gaines hit a nerve.
In fact, I wasn't surprised when the transgender issue became one of the biggest factors in the election earlier this month because of the response to this message! But with our biggest battles still ahead of us -- especially when it comes to defending the rights of women and girls -- we need your continued support more than ever before.
That's why I want to extend this special offer from Riley to you again today -- for your gift of $50 or more, we will send you a copy of Swimming Against the Current: Fighting for Common Sense in a World That’s Lost Its Mind.
This is your last chance to get your copy of Riley's book before the end of the year! Thank you for being one of the Center for American Liberty's very best supporters. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones. |

Even though we don't know each other yet, I'm writing to you on behalf of an organization you love -- the Center for American Liberty -- and asking you to stand beside us at the top of a very slippery slope. Actually, in my case, it's a slippery slide.
Because my name is Riley Gaines and I'm the University of Kentucky swimmer who had to compete against a fully intact 6'4" male swimmer dressed in a women's bathing suit. And after he stole the victory I had worked for my entire life, I had to go back to the women's locker room and undress out of my wet bathing suit while he did the same next to me. |

| Maybe you want to stop reading right now. I know the images I'm bringing up are horrible. John, please don't stop…
Because God-fearing, faith-filled people like you and me have a job to do today. We can't retreat into our homes and hope our government's evil culture just passes us by.
That's why I'm asking you to stand with me today -- before it's too late. John, you know this slippery slide.
It's the same one you got pushed down when the Left told you abortion was going to be "safe, legal, and rare." Now abortion is a "right" and "women’s healthcare." And if you don't support it up until the moment of birth, you must "hate women."
It's the same slippery slide you got pushed down when the Left told you limiting gay couples to civil unions was "mean." You were told, "They just want to use the word "marriage" like everyone else. It's just a word." Now if you don't fully embrace the homosexual lifestyle by displaying rainbows and celebrating gay pride, you're a "hate-filled bigot." Enough with their lies. We have Truth on our side. And we need to start acting like it.
God created man. And God created woman. It isn't any more complicated than that. Letting men believe they are women... letting girls believe they are boys... is a bold-faced rejection of God's truth.
And if we give this deranged movement one more inch, a year from now when you’re forced by law to call boys "she"... when it becomes normal for kids to be taken away from parents who oppose this evil... I don't want you looking back with regret wishing you had done more when you still had a chance. Your chance is right now -- and right by my side.
Please stand with me and the Center for American Liberty against the radical transgender movement by making a tax-deductible donation of $35 or more today. Please don't tell me, "Riley, this isn't a widespread problem." |

Look at this photo. This is pediatrician, 4-star admiral, and Assistant Secretary for Health -- Rachel Levine (born Richard Levine). This man in a women's Navy uniform is a "leader" in your government. And the person standing next to Levine? That's Sam Brinton. He's a man in a dress who was a Biden-Harris nuclear official until he got caught stealing luggage at Ronald Reagan Airport filled with ladies' clothes. |

Then consider that 11 states and counting, plus the District of Columbia, are transgender "sanctuary" states. That means in some of them, minor children can flee there and get transgender services -- even sex change operations -- without their parent's permission. And did you know Medicare now covers sex change operations?
How about the Paris Olympics? They had a transgender performance mocking Christ during the opening ceremony! And then two transgender boxers (men) were allowed to fight female boxers! It just goes on and on... This evil is widespread.
Maybe you're thinking like so many, "Riley, adults are free to do whatever they want. And children should be kept away from this evil by their parents." I agree this problem would have less traction if parents just said, "No." |
>> But parents in MD had their child taken away because they refused to let their son transition to a "girl."
>> Parents in Vermont are seeing their foster care licenses revoked because they admit they would not help a child who may be assigned to their home get puberty blockers or have sex change surgery. >> Parents in California got themselves elected to the school board, passed guidelines to protect their children from the transgender movement, and now the state of California is suing them.
>> And Illinois is considering a bill that would change the definition of "child abuse" to include parents who oppose puberty blocking drugs and sex change operations. The radical transgender movement has parents backed into a corner. |
John, I'm sorry I've gone on so long detailing the transgender threat. But when I'm speaking around the country, I meet so many seniors who say, "I wish someone had told me about this sooner." But the good news is that right now, you still have a chance to help me and the Center for American Liberty stop the radical transgender movement before they push us down their slippery slide.
I was happy to hear you're already one of their best supporters because they're doing more work to block the transgender movement than anyone I know. Your tax-deductible gift today is going straight to the Center for American Liberty to help them fight the transgender movement in the courts because that's the only way to stop them.
You probably already know that the Center for American Liberty is attacking this evil from all sides with their comprehensive three-pronged approach. |
#1. They're fighting radical schools. |
In today's taxpayer-funded schools, teachers and counselors encourage young children to socially "transition" at school and then facilitate the "transition" by giving children new names and even giving them new clothes so they can dress as the opposite sex. And they keep it all a secret from parents! You probably remember a time when kids needed a note from home just to get an aspirin at school! The Center for American Liberty is taking these radicals to court in multiple cases. And with your help, they already have one major win!
When you make a donation today, you're making sure PARENTS have the final word in guiding their children -- not school radicals! |
#2. They're fighting radical doctors. |
John, I hope you love and trust your doctors. There are lots of good ones out there. But there are also doctors who mutilate children for profit in the name of transgender "care." They use their "expertise" to convince even conservative parents that if they oppose "transition," their child will commit suicide.
Then these doctors pump children full of dangerous puberty blockers and perform gruesome surgeries to remove children's healthy breasts and other parts. Again, I apologize for the graphic description, but this is the pure evil we're facing.
Thanks to your support, the Center for American Liberty is behind Chloe Cole's landmark case to sue the radical doctors and hospital that gave her a double mastectomy at age 15.
When you make a donation today, you're continuing to help Chloe and the Center for American Liberty make sure this never happens to another child! |
#3. They're fighting for your right to speak out against this evil. |
John, you know that fighting for Freedom of Speech is one of the Center for American Liberty's specialties. You've helped them notch plenty of victories in this space and the next one is going to be fighting for an 82-year-old grandmother who got banned for life from the YMCA.
This grandma raised the alarm that a grown man dressed in a women's bathing suit was in the women's locker room "helping" two little girls get ready to use the bathroom. And she was the one punished!
When you make a donation today, you're continuing to help the Center for American Liberty protect every American's right to speak out against this evil!
John, I know you'd probably love to fund an entire court case on your own because you're as big a supporter of the Center for American Liberty as I am, but all I'm asking you to do today is follow this link to make a tax-deductible gift of $35, $50, $100, or more.
John, please donate whatever amount is right for you whether it's smaller or larger. The Center for American Liberty needs and appreciates every dollar that comes in. And because I believe so strongly in the work they're doing -- and because they are one of the few groups who've stood shoulder-to-shoulder with me in this fight...
It will be my honor to send you my new book Swimming Against the Current: Fighting for Common Sense in a World That's Lost Its Mind as my free gift when you donate $50 or more to the Center for American Liberty. Before I go, please let me share one last thought with you.
Every morning as a competitive swimmer, I would get up and think of this verse: For I consider that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared to the glory that is about to be revealed to us. Romans 8:18 I applied it to my swimming: work hard now and wins come later. But now I see that God has a much bigger plan for my life just as He does for yours.
This battle isn’t about a swimming victory. It's about Kingdom victory. I will never stop fighting to protect God's Truth and I think you feel the same way. Thank you for reading my letter all the way to the end. I'm praying for you, and I hope you'll pray for me too. |
