Dear Friend,
 
I imagine that you, like me, often find yourself wondering what on earth is happening to this country.
 
We are watching a new Gilded Age unfold—one where those in power build ballrooms while ordinary Americans tighten their belts, where extravagance is celebrated while freedom is quietly dismantled, and where moral depravity passes for strength.
 
How, over the course of 250 years, did we go from prizing self-government to allowing a corrupt, self-serving ruling elite to dominate us with terror campaigns, brute force, and psychological warfare?
 
The madness, mayhem, and malice unfolding in America is not politics as usual.
 
It’s not partisan hardball. It’s not bureaucratic overreach.
 
It’s theft in the gravest sense imaginable: the theft of our nation, our sovereignty as citizens, and our constitutional republic.

History tells us that this level of depravity, decadence and graft are always the prelude to decline.
 
This is why the work of The Rutherford Institute is so critical—and why your partnership matters so deeply.
 
Nonpartisan, apolitical and committed to the principles enshrined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, we are working hard to call out abuses, defend the Constitution in the courts, and resist every attempt to strip “We the People” of our voice, our rights, and our sovereignty.
 
We’re standing at a crossroads for freedom.
 
Every day brings a new assault on the rule of law—new restrictions, new abuses, new betrayals of the Constitution. But thanks to your faithful support, The Rutherford Institute continues to meet each challenge head-on, in the courts and in the court of public opinion.
 
Your support fuels this fight for freedom—one case, one defense, one victory at a time.
 
Now, as we approach our $250,000 Year-End Matching Gift Campaign, every dollar you give by December 31 will be matched dollar-for-dollar, doubling your impact in the defense of liberty.
 
Please, stand with us today.
 
Together, we can reclaim the promise of a nation governed by principle, not privilege—and keep alive the ideals that once made this country a beacon for freedom worldwide.

Together, we WILL make America free again.

For freedom,

John W. Whitehead
President
