Dear  John,

Harassment. Retaliation. Hostility. Second-Class.

Those are just a few of the choice words Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito used in his keynote speech last week to the Federalist Society.

More specifically, Justice Alito’s words help illustrate why he believes that religious liberty is in danger of becoming a “second-class right” if our opponents had their way.

On a broader level, what Justice Alito was addressing was the unhinged Cancel Culture tactics of the far Left and their ongoing use of threats, intimidation and silencing to get their way and censor their opposition…all while not letting the COVID-19 crisis go to waste!

If there’s a wake-up call for us to combat this “woke-ism”, it’s this: You have to stand up to the bully.

Of course, we will NOT be silent about any of this, as I explain in my video below. Please watch:

While the COVID-19 crisis may have created some constitutional fault lines, we are not about to retreat on the progress that’s been made to protect religious liberty these past few years. Tens of thousands of new supporters have joined us in the fight over this past year alone, and we have just begun!

Now more than ever, it’s time we stand up, speak out and move forward to wage and win the frontline battles ahead of us. Thank you for standing with us in the most essential fight of our lifetimes.

Gratefully, 

Kelly
