It's the week of Thanksgiving, and I have a question for you.

What would you do if you had to choose between your faith or your
business?

That's just what happened to Aaron and Melissa Klein when they
declined to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding ceremony.

Don't Miss Your Chance to Help Secure Religious Freedom

And the results from that decision tore their lives apart.

They were publicly denigrated, punished, fined and threatened. And at
the end of the day, they lost their family-owned bakery.

That all took place nearly 12 years ago. But God has a way of
restoring the faithful.

Today, the Kleins are waiting for the Oregon Court of Appeals to
decide their case.

Aaron and Melissa have been vindicated by the Supreme Court twice.
Both times, the justices vacated the Oregon court's decision and
sent the case back to the state court to rethink its ruling.

While we wait for the Oregon Court of Appeals to make its decision,
the Kleins are moving forward with their lives. They've started
a family-operated restaurant, and Melissa is once again sharing her
award-winning baking talents with anyone that dines in.

Your support through the years has helped make this change possible.

Throughout their legal battles, including two trips to the Supreme
Court and now three trips to the Oregon Court of Appeals, they have
never received a bill.

Instead, they've been able to invest in their family and in
their future.

As a small token of thanks for your support, Melissa and Aaron are
sharing one of their favorite Thanksgiving treats - Holiday
Pumpkin Bars. Click below to get the recipe.

The First Amendment protects all Americans from being forced to send a
message that conflicts with their religious beliefs.

Thankfully, there are brave families like the Kleins who are willing
to fight back when the enemies of faith strike. And at First Liberty,
we will stand with them no matter how long it takes.

But to do that, we need you to stand with us.

Giving Tuesday is on December 3rd. That's just one week away.
And we need to deliver a clear message to those who stand against
faith.

Your generous gift to First Liberty will help do just that.

And thanks to our $100,000 Challenge Grant, your gift before midnight
on Tuesday, December 3rd will have a multiplied impact in the fight to
secure the future of faith and freedom.

Not only did the November election completely change our
nation's outlook in terms of faith and freedom, but it has given
us an opportunity to completely turn the tables on the enemies of
faith.

It's time to stand firmly for faith. It's time to go all in.

Will you take advantage of the opportunity that is before us?
Let's secure the blessing of liberty for our children and
grandchildren together.

Yes, I will make a gift today >>
