Dear John,
It seems like every time new legislation authorizes Ten Commandments displays, radicals come out of the woodwork to oppose it.
For years, we’ve been defending Arkansas' right to display a privately donated Ten Commandments monument on the state grounds.
Radical groups—including the ACLU, the Freedom from Religion Foundation, the American Humanist Association, the Satanic Temple, and the Arkansas Society of Freethinkers—have all tried to topple this monument.
Despite their best efforts, the monument still stands.
Now, the Arkansas legislature is working to extend Ten Commandments displays all across the state by placing them in every classroom and government building.
First Liberty’s Stephanie Taub, fresh off testifying in support of the Ten Commandments proposed legislation, shares her experience before Arkansas lawmakers and lets us know what the future holds for the bill in this interview:

State legislatures like the one in Arkansas are writing and passing new laws to bring back displays that have historical significance, including the Ten Commandments.
And they are able to do so thanks to God’s favor and our Supreme Court victories for the Bladensburg Peace Cross and Coach Kennedy.
But just because legal precedent is on our side doesn’t mean that radical groups will stop their attacks.
Remember, their goal is to scrub all religious expression from the public eye. They don’t care that their actions are undermining the very principles of freedom upon which our country is based.
The truth is religious expression in the public square has always played an integral part of the history and traditions of our country.
That’s why we must remain ever vigilant on the frontlines of the fight for faith.
Thankfully, people like you all over the country are working to bring back these displays to town squares.
If you aren’t currently involved in our Restoring Faith in America movement, you can start taking an active role to bring back expressions of faith to your state and your community. Go to our RFIA website to learn more.
With your help, we can stop these radical groups in their tracks and preserve the future of religious expression in our communities.
Will you join us?
Gratefully,
Kelly
