Dear John,

There's no denying it...we are directly in the crosshairs of one of the
most tumultuous and transformational periods in all of American
history.

The precious gifts of life and liberty have never felt more fragile
than right now.

George Washington once said: "The preservation of the sacred
fire of liberty is staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of
the American people."

So, how have We the People been handling that "sacred fire"
entrusted to us lately?

Very poorly. And that's putting it mildly.

Far too many in today's culture do not view the freedom our
Founding Fathers fought and died for as a blessing, but rather as a
hindrance to a new, progressive utopia where any vestige of
traditional values must be mocked, vilified and ultimately...canceled.

And as we've seen throughout history, the first target of this
"cancel culture" mob is always religious freedom-because they can
tolerate no one with an allegiance to a Divine authority higher than
their own man-made utopian ideal.

For these radicals, faith must be the first to go. And tyrannical
government officials, always eager for an excuse to expand their own
power and control, are only too happy to oblige.

So, it's no wonder that churches and religious organizations are
being ruthlessly singled out and attacked during this period of
crisis. Because if the flame of religious freedom is snuffed out,
it's only a matter of time until Washington's entire "sacred fire"
is extinguished for good.

Just think about what we're witnessing right now:

* A Pastor told by government officials "Your rights are suspended"
for simply trying to hold a safe, social-distancing service in his
church's parking lot.

* New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy admitting he "wasn't thinking of
the Bill of Rights" when he claimed the authority to close down
religious services.

* An elderly blind woman BANNED from a public park and the local
library for simply offering Gospel of John booklets to passersby.

* The U.S. Navy BANNED service members from attending any indoor
religious services.

* And this latest ban from California Governor Gavin Newsom, who
is now doubling-down on restricting church activities by specifying that
"places of worship must...discontinue indoor singing and chanting activities."

And all the while...liquor stores, marijuana dispensaries and abortion clinics
have remained "essential" and wide open.

This is the tipping point we are at in America today.

And the question is: are we going to let these progressive radicals
continue to cancel our church services? Are we going to let them
cancel the Constitution? Are we going to let them cancel America as we
know it?

I trust your response is a resounding "NO!"

And that's why I'm asking for your continued support today. Because we're
the ones who are going to put a stop to this-together.

First Liberty is proud to bear the torch of liberty on the legal battlefront in
this crucial time, reversing as many of these unconstitutional decisions as
possible. In fact, we are undefeated in cases we have taken on during the
pandemic.

This is a fight we can win. I truly believe that. But these cases demand
resources, and we cannot continue taking on the increasing wave of hostility
without your financial support.

Please make a secure donation today, and help us keep delivering victory in
this pivotal and historic moment. Every dollar counts.

Together, we will ensure that George Washington's "sacred
fire of liberty" remains burning ever brighter for future
generations.

Yes, I will make a gift today!
