Dear  John,

It’s only fitting that a year like 2020 would give us the most chaotic ending to an election in recent memory, right?

And while we await the final results amidst a cloud of doubt and uncertainty, I want to give you a few reasons to take heart and take courage.

First, the future of religious freedom will not be determined by who occupies the Oval Office or who controls Congress. It will be decided in America’s courts.

And over the past four years, we have made unprecedented progress in flipping these courts to solid conservative majorities.

Now, we are down to our last group of vacancies—with dozens of seats left to fill. And even if a new party does take over the White House on January 20th, that still gives the Trump Administration over two and a half months to finish confirming solid judges to these posts.

This would be a monumental victory, and one I am confident we can accomplish. We will be leading the charge on this front in the coming days and weeks, which is one major reason we need your continued prayers and support—time is of the essence!

Second, no matter who occupies the White House, our mission as men and women of faith and committed defenders of the Constitution does not change.

The fight against religious hostility did not stop four years ago, and it will continue regardless of the outcome in this election as well. Indeed, we have only seen these attacks grow worse in the past year, with petty tyrants attempting to cancel your freedom at every level of government.

But you know what else doesn’t change? Our winning.

We still have the nation’s best network of elite attorneys on the frontlines fighting for your rights. We still have our innovative model in place which multiplies every dollar you give by six times. And we still have an unparalleled record of victories for religious liberty in America.

In fact, we just won our latest victory for Gail Blair—the blind woman banned from her local park for the “crime” of handing out Gospels of John. We were able to get this outrageous judgment thrown out, and she will once again be able to freely live out her faith.

Unfortunately, abuses of power and violations of the Constitution like this aren’t going to stop no matter who is in office. But with your support, we will continue fighting back—and we will continue winning.

Please give today to keep First Liberty on the leading edge of the battlefront, especially over these crucial next couple of months. Every day and every dollar makes a big difference!

Gratefully, 

Kelly
