John,
 

Did you see that Philadelphia is re-instating its ridiculous mask mandate
starting on Monday?

 

When I first read the news, I was incredibly frustrated, but not at all
surprised.

 

You see, this has been the radical Left’ playbook for infringing on your
rights for over two years now.

 

Create panic, cite “science” that doesn’t actually exist, then trample your
personal liberties.

 

This isn’t new and with your help, we’ve been fighting back since day one.

 

We’ve already won THREE cases at the Supreme Court of the United States
relating to COVID restrictions on the free exercise of religion.

 

But the fight is still raging when it comes to personal freedoms, educational
freedom, and what the government can do during a state of “emergency.”

 

So, I wanted to give you an update about three of our cases where we are still
embroiled in legal battles over COVID-related infringements.

 

1. Brach v. Newsom

As you may remember, Governor Gavin Newsom arbitrarily decided to shut down
public and private schools for 80% of California’s children – denying many
access to education.

 

We won when the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the government does
NOT have the power to shut down private schools, but Newsom requested an en
banc rehearing and we’re now awaiting en banc decision.

 

2. Givens v. Newsom

When Gavin Newsom issued his edict shutting down California, that shutdown
included your right to protest—well of course unless you were marching in the
streets protesting with BLM. Those protests were allowed; non-woke protests
were not allowed.

 

Ron Givens wanted to protest the State of California’s refusal to process
background checks or complete firearm purchases. But the state denied his
request for a permit for a peaceful and socially distanced protest on public
grounds in Sacramento.

 

It has been two years since we filed this case but it is still moving forward.
Now, the case is in discovery and we look forward to the court finally ruling
on the merits of this case because all Americans, not just those advocating for
leftist ideas, have the right to assemble and petition the government.

 

3. Center for American Liberty vs. CHHS

This is our “Show Us the Science” case where the State of California along
with several other localities have refused to publicly release the “science”
they repeatedly cited when locking the state down.

 

Despite several public records requests, the California Health and Human
Services Agency failed to release the documents containing the “science and
data” that was used to impose shut down measures – including lock downs on
churches and schools.

 

The government cannot be allowed to ignore public transparency laws in order
to hide from its own catastrophic failures.

 

John, it’s essential that we win each and every one of these cases because, as
you’re seeing in Philadelphia, the fight isn’t over.

 

And we’re going to need further legal protections to safeguard our freedoms.

 

With your help, we’ve been on the frontlines of this battle since day one and
we’re not going anywhere anytime soon.

 

Thank you for your continued support.

 

Onward to Victory,

 

Mark Trammell
