Dear John,

It's hard to believe it, but just last June we made history
together as the Supreme Court announced our landmark victory for the
Bladensburg Peace Cross.

As big as overturning the "Lemon Test" was-who
could have predicted that less than a year later, the simple act of
going to worship services would be considered a "criminal
act" by power-hungry politicians who've unmasked their
deep disdain for people of faith like you and me.

And yet, here we are, still "standing strong"-just
like the Peace Cross. However, unlike Bladensburg, this current battle
over the "new normal" is far, far from over.

What's at stake right now is more than just a cure for a virus.
It's the emergence of a historic constitutional crisis whose
ramifications could be just as deadly for the future of religious
freedom in America.

For decades, I have told all who would listen that if our churches and
houses of worship can't win in court-if our faith falls
from being our First Freedom to becoming a "second-class"
right-or no right at all-then every other freedom we hold
dear is in jeopardy, too.

If you thought the "old normal" was bad...the blatant and
open hostility that's happening right now from abusive and out
of control politicians is just the beginning of the "new
normal", especially now with the election looming just a few
months down the road.

Fortunately, thanks to your generous support, First Liberty continues
to be the tip of the spear! We've won every single one of our
COVID-19 cases to date-and we're going to KEEP ON WINNING
provided God continues to grant us favor and we have the resources
necessary to keep fighting on the frontlines.

As our churches struggle to re-open right now-while facing police
raids, excessive fines and even arson-it's time we
double-down for the rest of 2020!

Back in January, I told you that we had the opportunity to reclaim
MORE religious freedom than we've ever experienced in our lifetimes.

Today, we MUST fight even harder to protect and defend religious
liberty so our children and grandchildren will stand a chance to
experience it in theirs.

With God's favor, we will continue to win as one-together!

Thank you for steadfast support through these trying months. We are
sincerely honored and humbled by your prayers, calls and timely notes
of encouragement. We couldn't do it without you.

Yes, I will make a gift today!
