John,


The fight to re-open the Capitol grounds to peaceful prayer vigils isn’t over.



In fact, last night our Executive Director, Mark Trammell, and Rev. Patrick
Mahoney joined Shannon Bream on Fox News to discuss our ongoing litigation.



And you can watch the video right here!

Rev. Mahoney and Mark correctly point out that that Capitol is the people’s
house and has a rich history of First Amendment activity.



However, for the last 18 months, only members of Congress and their chosen
friends – including radicals like Cori Bush – have been able to use the Capitol
Grounds for protests and gatherings.



This is a blatant double standard and creates almost a caste-system – Congress
and their friends, and everyone else.



As you know, we won a partial victory in this case when the U.S. Capitol
Police Board changed its policy to open the Western Lawn for larger gatherings.



But they still require a permit for all gatherings of 20 or more people and
refuse to open the rest of the Capitol grounds,so we’re moving forward with our
case to open ALL of the Capitol Grounds.



The government is also still enforcing a “buffer zone” around the Capitol
building whereby all First Amendment activity is banned.



Well, I should clarify, the government is selectively enforcing its
speech-censoring buffer zone.



You see, Rep. Cori Bush was allowed to turn the Capitol steps into an occupy
movement when she opposed the lifting of the eviction moratorium, yet Rev.
Mahoney would get arrested if he, by himself, quietly prayed on the steps to
the Capitol.



This double standard cannot stand.



Members of Congress and their friends should not be afforded greater free
speech rights than the average American.

The beautiful thing about the First Amendment is that it applies to everyone
equally regardless of status.



With your help, we’re going to stay in this fight until complete freedom of
speech and freedom of religious gathering is allowed outside the people’s house.



Thank you for your continued support.



Onward to Victory,







Harmeet K. Dhillon
