I have some bad news, John.
 

This morning, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against us in our
critical religious liberty lawsuit against the United States Capitol Police
Board.

 

For the second year in a row, Reverend Pat Mahoney and his faithful
parishioners have been DENIED their constitutional right to pray and worship
outside the U.S. Capitol building.

 

While our team of attorneys at the Center for American Liberty are exploring
every possible way to correct this gross injustice, I have one more small favor
to ask you…

 

On this Good Friday, will you join Reverend Patrick Mahoney in prayer by
signing this ‘GOOD FRIDAY PRAYER CARD’ today

It’s truly a dark day in our country when people of faith are denied the right
to pray together, peacefully, outside the U.S. Capitol…

 

…especially since several others have been granted permits for secular
expression, over the past several months, on the exact same grassy area.

 

Make no mistake about it, this is a content-based form of discrimination, and
it is unconstitutional. 

 

And even though Rev. Mahoney won’t be hosting a large public event this Good
Friday, he’snot giving up.

 

When I heard from him this morning, he was on his way to Washington, D.C. to
pray.

 

He’s praying a special prayer of thanksgiving to God on this Easter weekend.

 

He is praying for our political leaders – that they find the strength,
compassion, and common-sense to stand up for the values of freedom and liberty.

 

He’s praying that the evil forces dividing us across political, social, and
geographical lines are soon vanquished by God’s grace and glory.

 

He’s praying that our nation will once again embrace human rights, justice,
and equality for all.

 

Considering everything that is happening both overseas and domestically, we
know prayer is needed more now than perhaps ever before.

 

Will you join Rev. Mahoney in prayer by signing our GOOD FRIDAY PRAYER CARD on
this holy day?
