John,

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals just ordered an en banc hearing of our Brach v. Newsom lawsuit over Gavin Newsom’s unconstitutional shutdown of public AND private schools.

That means we have to completely re-argue this case that we ALREADY won at the Ninth Circuit.

Only this time, we will argue before the full Ninth Circuit instead of a 3-judge panel.

This en banc hearing has been granted at Newsom’s request because, despite having lost in court, he still believes he should have absolute control over ALL education in California.

To put it simply, Newsom petitioned for a re-hearing from the Ninth Circuit Court, and the court gave it to him.

And in doing so, he effectively erased our LANDMARK victory.

You see, the Ninth Circuit vacated our win when it granted Newsom’s petition for a re-hearing of the case.

But we’re not standing down.

Because of your support, we won this case once before. And we’re going to do it again. But we can’t do it without your help!

You may already be familiar with this case, but if this is the first time you're hearing about it, let me catch you up.

Last year, Gavin Newsom issued an emergency order to shut down almost all schools across California.

This included religious and private schools that are funded and operate independent of government.

The Center for American Liberty immediately stepped in and sued Governor Newsom and the state of California on behalf of affected parents who had their rights trampled.

You see, Governor Newsom’s order deprived parents of the ability to decide where to send their kids to school and how their kids would be educated—millions of kids were relegated to “distance learning” in front of a computer screen.

And the Ninth Circuit Court initially agreed with us when we argued that Newsom did NOT have the power to shut down private and religious schools, thereby stripping parents of their right to make educational choices for their children.

But even after our initial win, Newsom refused to let go of his war on parental rights.

He’s using fear-mongering tactics like a totalitarian dictator in order to grow his own personal power.

Yesterday it was the Delta variant.... today it’s Omicron Variant.... tomorrow it’ll be climate change, or something else to keep us afraid and controllable!

His tyrannical power-grabbing tactics are exactly why we’ve sued him and won THREE TIMES this year at the United States Supreme Court.

If we let him get away with this, there will be nothing stopping state governments, all over the country from attacking parents’ right to send their children to the school they prefer.

We can’t leave this to chance, and we are short on time. Will you chip in $35 to ensure we have the resources necessary to fight and win this case AGAIN?

But this time, we aren’t just going to be presenting arguments in front of a small panel of judges. As I mentioned, En Banc hearings are before the ENTIRE BENCH.

What this means is we must be prepared for every question and challenge that may come from Newsom’s team or the judges on the bench.

We can’t do this without you. That’s why I’m asking you to chip in $35 dollars or more today. We need your support. We don’t have time to wait! The holidays are approaching, and we need your help RIGHT NOW if we’re going to get everything done in time.

The right of parents to decide how their children are educated is at stake.

It’s clear that Gavin Newsom wants to force all kids to have the same non-education they were given these past two years.

It’s unacceptable. And we’re not going to let Newsom’s temper tantrum for power succeed.

I hope you join us in the fight.

Sincerely,
