Fight For The Values Hold Dear. By: Jay Sekulow
Dear America,
Our world is changing - fast.
Just days after the election was decided, President-elect Obama was making his course clear - pledging to quickly sign as many as 200 executive orders overturning a host of President Bush’s orders from the past eight years.
And with the increase in the liberal majority in Congress, that won’t be all. We also expect to see a number of new ”riders” - bits of legislation dropped into major bills - to increase funding for Planned Parenthood and push the pro-abortion lobby’s agenda more aggressively.
Also, as the horrific incidents of this past weekend show, we’re seeing worldwide efforts of the radical Muslim mission to ”take the world for Islam.”
This makes our LIBERTY NOT TYRANNY Matching Challenge all the more important! We have made progress toward our $875,000 goal - and I’m grateful for every contribution already made - but we still have a long way to go, and so again I ask you to give today.
Why? Because we have a plan. We are engaging. We are positioned to fight back and are already at work, from our strategic location across the street from the Supreme Court of the United States and just down the street from Capitol Hill. For us, the election was just the beginning.
We will be vigilant - our Government Affairs team in D.C. will be keeping you informed and fighting every bill proposed in Congress that threatens your values - but we need your help to do this … to make sure your voice is heard and your influence felt.
- The Freedom of Choice Act - tragically reversing the partial-birth abortion ban - Mr. Obama has declared he will sign it into law quickly.
- The so-called ”Fairness Doctrine” jeopardizing Christian and conservative talk radio - could be reinstated.
- Defamation of Religions - the United Nations (U.N.) could vote any day now on this dangerous resolution, one that would criminalize Christianity around the world.
- Of course, a possible vacancy on the Supreme Court bench and many existing vacancies in federal appeals courts across the nation - critical appointments that will impact our lives and those of our children and grandchildren.
- And more!
Help us fight for your values. We will do battle all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States when necessary - and alongside our European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ), we’ll fight for protection of Christians in international courts and at the U.N.
Your freedoms are at stake here. Your gift will help in the fight for life, in the right to express your faith in public, in the battle for judges who respect the Constitution - every value you hold most dear.
Please let me hear from you quickly. Thank you.
