Dear Friend,

The Rutherford Institute will be 40 years old in two weeks. 

It's a milestone for any organization, but it's especially monumental when you consider where we started (a one-man operation in the basement of my home) and how much we've grown: a national leader in the fight to protect our freedoms.

Despite the significance of this anniversary, we will be foregoing the celebrations. 

There is just too much to do. 

On almost every front, the government's assaults on our freedoms escalate daily. 

Everything I have warned about for the past 40 years has come to pass. 

That’s why the broad-based, apolitical, nonpartisan work of The Rutherford Institute is so critical, and why your support is so necessary.

The Rutherford Institute is doing everything we can to keep sounding the alarm and standing up to the government's overreaches, abuses and frontal attacks, but we can't do it alone. 

Your support is our lifeblood. 

With just a few weeks left in this year's $250,000 matching gift campaign, we need all the help we can get to cross the finish line. 
 
The Rutherford Institute is working hard to defend your rights in the face of government efforts to nullify the constitutional freedoms assured to every American. We’re working in and out of the courts to push back against the government’s overreaches and power grabs and transform the government—at all levels—into one that respects the rights of all Americans.
 
Your tax-deductible donations not only keep our attorneys on the front lines of the many legal battles taking place across the country, but they also reinforce our efforts to shore up the constitutional rights that have been battered by years of abuse, neglect and attacks.
  
If you’re able to make a tax-deductible donation of $100, $250 or even $1000 or more, it would go a long way towards ensuring that The Rutherford Institute is able to stay in the battle, keep sounding the alarm, and do everything in our power to hold the line for freedom. All donations—including one-time gifts, monthly pledges and stock donations—made between now and June 30^th will count towards this matching gift challenge.

Thank you for supporting our efforts to make America free again. 

For freedom,

John W. Whitehead
President
