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.
We can only keep leading the charge with your financial support, and we need to finish this year strong in order to refuel our resources for the next wave of battles ahead. Plus, our $500,000 year-end Challenge Grant means every dollar you donate goes farther right now.
Join me in pushing back against the Lockdown Left today!
Sincerely,
Kelly
