Dear Friend,

In an address given in Chicago in 1858—about a month after his “House Divided” speech at the State Capitol in Springfield, Illinois—Abraham Lincoln spoke eloquently of the courage, good spirit, and public camaraderie imparted by annual celebrations of Independence Day.  

As we prepare to celebrate another Independence Day, we take heart, despite the severe fault lines dividing American civic life, at the thought of the “electric cord” he described linking “patriotic hearts as long as the love of freedom exists” in our world, that is, the Declaration’s statement that “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

Since its founding, EPPC has sought to defend and promote the Founding principles implicit in this statement: respect for the inherent dignity of the human person, individual freedom and responsibility, justice and the common good, and the rule of law and limited government.

In particular, EPPC is engaged in the urgent work of equipping Americans to defend their faith in the public square and live it out in their homes, while defending rights of conscience and religious freedom in public policy.

All of our scholars are working tirelessly to craft the arguments and policies Americans need to uphold religious freedom and dignity of each human person—male and female, as created by God—in the public square.

This task has never been more urgent than now, under the challenging new circumstances of 21st century America, but we need your ongoing help.

Friend, will you make a tax-deductible gift of $100, $500, or even $1,000 today to help us defend our nation's founding principles and work to apply those principles to the most important public policy debates of our day?

Any amount you can give will help us promote the truth in policy and culture, and to uphold the philosophical and theological heritage upon which our nation was founded.

Thank you for considering supporting us in this important fight for the future of religious freedom and the Founding tradition in America.

 

Sincerely,



Ryan T. Anderson
