> and pro-family causes in America well into the future.
>
> That's why our caseload has rapidly grown in recent years.
> Here is a snapshot of just a few of the cases Liberty
> Counsel is actively litigating right now...
>
> *Last month, I was in Federal District Court
> advancing our lawsuit against ObamaCare. The
> heart of our case is that the "individual
> mandate" forcing Americans to buy insurance is
> unconstitutional. I feel certain that the
> judge will rule that the Obama Department of
> Justice's attempt to have our suit dismissed
> will be denied.
>
> *In Collier County, Florida, students were banned
> from receiving Bibles from our client, World
> Changers, at school. Officials claimed that
> the Bibles do not provide any educational
> benefit to the students and that their
> distribution violates the so-called "separation
> of church and state." We successfully defended
> World Changers and they will now be able to
> freely distribute Bibles to those students who
> voluntarily accept one.
>
> *Last week, we filed a petition with the U.S.
> Supreme Court requesting they take our case
> involving the "Foundations of American Law
> and Government" display in a Kentucky courthouse,
> which includes the Ten Commandments. We have
> argued before the High Court in a similar case
> and I feel there is a good chance they will
> accept our current petition.
>
> *In Santa Rosa County, Florida, the ACLU named a
> school principal as supporting their petition to
> have an unconstitutional, anti-faith "Consent
> Decree" enforced within the school system -
> without the principal's knowledge! This is the
> second overtly unethical act we have discovered
> the ACLU committing during this case.
>
> *In Mississippi, Judge Malcolm Harrison ruled in
> state circuit court that Personhood Mississippi
> can include a ballot to amend the state's
> Constitution in the 2011 elections. The amendment
> is designed to stop abortions by recognizing
> pre-borns as "persons" who have rights under the
> law. Liberty Counsel defended Personhood
> Mississippi against attacks from the ACLU and
> Planned Parenthood, both of which filed suit
> against the petition.
>
> *In the Itasca Public School District outside of
> Chicago, Illinois, Liberty Counsel successfully
> defended the rights of two students who wanted
> to sing "Call on Jesus" in their school's talent
> show but were initially refused permission.
>
> As I mentioned, these are just a few of the hundreds of cases,
> motions, filings, briefs, and other legal actions Liberty Counsel
> has undertaken in recent weeks, and we anticipate our caseload
> will continue to grow.
>
> ++We will enjoy the liberties we are willing to fight for!
>
> I firmly believe it is Liberty Counsel's duty to do everything
> in our power - both in the courts and the court of public
> opinion - to turn back attacks on our essential freedom.
>
> Right now, both our legal staff and our budget are stretched
> well beyond what we could have anticipated at this point in
> 2010. Quite simply, I need your help to stave off the
> increasing attacks of President Obama's axis of power and
> his leftist allies like the ACLU.
>
> Our need is even more critical at the end of this pivotal year
> because those championing the radical left's agenda will likely
> increase their efforts in our nation's judicial system after
> their massive Election Day losses.
>
> Will you prayerfully consider making a tax-
> deductible gift right now so our team can
> continue to fight against the rise of Big
> Government, radical pro-homosexual forces,
> anti-faith initiatives, the attacks of the ACLU,
> and the activities of other activist legal groups?

> Dave, I believe God has given Liberty Counsel many
> special friends and supporters - a large company of God-
> fearing, patriotic men and women like you - to enable us
> to stand against the enemies of freedom in courtrooms and
> the court of public opinion.
>
> That's why I am coming to you for help in a special way right
> now. Although patriotic Americans are justifiably celebrating
> great victories on Election Day, I feel I must call your
> attention back to the battle and ask for your help with
> our litigation fund. Although the challenges are many,
> I truly believe we can continue winning if we also
> continue to pray and work together.
>
> Your prayers and sacrificial giving make it possible for us
> to continue. We depend on friends who give $20, $30, $50,
> $100 - whatever the Lord leads - so we can stay involved in
> crucial battles at every level of our judicial system.

> Thank you for prayerfully considering a gift to Liberty
