First Liberty
Dear John,
It's no secret that far-left politicians have a knack for hypocrisy,
often playing by a much different set of rules than the ones they
impose on the rest of us. Unfortunately, we've come to
expect it, to a certain degree.
But this? This is different.
I'll be honest, I have NEVER in my life seen this level of duplicity,
arrogance, and unabashed dishonesty coming from some
of our elected officials.
The Lockdown Left is not only eager to enforce ever-tightening
restrictions on your freedom, they are increasingly eager to flaunt
their refusal to follow the same restrictions they demand YOU follow
(which is why we're going to the Supreme Court-keep
reading to find out more).
From L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti implementing a strict stay-at-home order
on Los Angeles residents and breaking it himself the very next day to
participate in a BLM protest, to Speaker Nancy Pelosi being caught on
camera violating both a lockdown order and a mask mandate to get a
salon treatment, the hypocrisy seemingly knows no bounds.
It's an especially startling and dangerous trend for people of faith like
you and I, as we've watched these tyrants unfairly single out
houses of worship, religious schools, and faith-based businesses
with threats, fines, and shutdowns over and over again.
The radical left simply has no respect for your freedom-least of
all your religious freedom.
So what is First Liberty doing in response? We're taking action.
Any day now, we're waiting to hear back from the Supreme Court
in a crucial case that could help turn the tide of this essential
fight.
After winning the first key religious freedom case during the pandemic
back in April, which protected the rights of Kentucky churches to hold
safety-compliant services, we're back at ground zero. Kentucky is at
it again with a new discriminatory order prohibiting in-person classes
at religious schools-even though they allow other in-person businesses
to operate freely (there's that hypocrisy again).
We intend to overturn this outrageous and unlawful order as soon as
possible. Our appeal is on the desk of Justice Kavanaugh at the
Supreme Court as we speak, and we'll keep you posted as soon as
we hear back.
But between these cases and many more, it's plain to see that
the hypocrisy and hostility are only going to increase-and we
must be equipped to meet the moment and hold our ground.
If you stand with us in this essential fight to preserve the incredible gift
of freedom in our nation, I humbly ask you to pray and give generously
to First Liberty this holiday season.
