Dear John,
I’m writing you today with a message of deep concern for the future of our great nation.
Frankly, I have never witnessed an all-out assault on our faith communities and our First Amendment freedoms like the one we are experiencing right now.
Power-hungry government officials are exploiting this volatile and fragile moment in our country to single out and attack religious freedom wherever possible—at a time when the church and people of faith are needed most. And the effects of this overreach are chilling.
Something has gone terribly wrong in our country when it’s acceptable for violent criminals to hijack peaceful protests in order to riot, loot, and vandalize our communities...
...but it’s not acceptable for people of faith to simply gather and worship.
The fear-mongering and abuse of power has resulted in our churches and houses of worship being threatened—and in at least one instance, being burned to the ground.
Yes, faith is quite literally under fire in America. And the question we need to be asking is...
Will the Constitution and religious freedom survive? Or will America’s “new normal” result in the continued degradation and loss of our guaranteed, protected rights to freely live out our faith?
We refuse to stand by and watch such a collapse happen. Not on our watch.
But we can’t fight this rising wave of hostility on our own. That’s why we need you to join us on the frontlines to help lead our nation back to the Constitution and back to our First Freedom.
Will you go All-In with us today to overcome this All-Out assault on our faith and freedom?
The need is urgent. Every day, we are flooded with calls and emails asking for legal help. Our resources are being challenged like never before.
We’re counting on the support of faithful friends like you to help us score more crucial victories for our faith communities—like the ”shot heard ’round the country,” the first key legal victory protecting drive-in church services in the nation.
Despite the President’s declaration that church gatherings are “essential” ...you and I both know that once tyrannical government officials get a taste of newfound power, they don’t give it back easily—if ever.
That’s why I’m hopeful you will join me and rise to the challenge right now, John.
With your timely gift today, we will stop the enemies of religious liberty from achieving their vision of a Godless, faithless America, and reclaim our nation’s foundational freedoms.
Let’s put out this fire together.
Gratefully, Kelly
Kelly Shackelford, Esq. President, CEO & Chief Counsel First Liberty Institute
