Dear Friend,
 
For 43 years, The Rutherford Institute has been on the front lines of the fight for freedom. Today, on our anniversary, that battle is more critical than ever.
 
Since 1982, we've stood in the courts and in the public arena, fighting for those whose voices were silenced, whose rights were trampled, and whose liberties were threatened — regardless of politics or popularity.
 
For over four decades, we’ve remained fiercely independent, nonpartisan, and grounded in the Constitution. But this fight has never been more urgent.
 
Today, peaceful protesters are being detained and deported. Judges are punished for upholding due process. The executive branch is expanding its power through surveillance, blacklists, and emergency decrees. Dissent is being criminalized.
 
We’re still standing up for the Constitution. But we can’t do it alone.

MAKE THE GOVERNMENT PLAY BY THE RULES OF THE CONSTITUTION: SUPPORT THE RUTHERFORD INSTITUTE

With just one day left before our fiscal year ends, we’re calling on you to help us finish strong.
 
Because of a generous group of supporters, every dollar you give before our fiscal year ends on June 30 will be doubled, up to $200,000. Your $50 gift becomes $100. Your $100 becomes $200 to directly challenge the overreach of government power.
 
This is your chance to double your impact in the fight for freedom.
 
Make your matched gift today.
 
Thank you for standing with us — in the past, in the present, and in the battles yet to come.

Together, we WILL make America free again.

For freedom,

John W. Whitehead
President  

P.S. The clock is ticking. With our fiscal year ending tomorrow, your tax-deductible gift will be matched to go twice as far in defending the Constitution. Please, don't wait to double your impact in the fight for freedom.

The Rutherford Institute—nonpartisan, apolitical and committed to the principles enshrined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights—is working hard to push back against the government’s heavy-handed tyranny
