Dear Walter,

You and I are facing a radically different year....

In just a few short months, we have already witnessed our new Congress hard at work ... pushing for legislation that is blatantly anti-Christian, anti-life ... and seeking to silence the opposition.

Their war cry is clear - a radically new Congress means a radical change in direction.

But the ACLJ is in the midst of the battle to protect your rights.  And you can stand with us now in a significant way.


Your support is critical as we mount intensive efforts to answer the challenges of the ACLU, NARAL, Planned Parenthood, and a new liberal Congress which seeks to control, limit, and silence Christians and conservative groups. 

Make no mistake ... our senior attorneys and I, along with our Government Affairs staff, are working long hours in Washington, D.C., and across the country to protect your freedoms - but we still have a long way to go.

We are up against tremendous challenges:

Battling to uphold the most basic human freedom ... a baby's right to life.  And you can bet with a new Congress, one that leans sharply to the left, NARAL:  Pro-Choice America and Planned Parenthood are sniffing out their opportunity to pounce.

Halting the flow of taxpayer dollars into Planned Parenthood.

Protecting free exercise of religion and political speech.  We are witnessing a dangerous trend in current legislation that seeks to silence conservative Christians and eliminate political discourse on the most crucial issues of the day.  We will not tolerate these bold attempts to silence the citizens of our nation!

These imperative issues ... along with several active cases in federal court ... are just the tip of the iceberg.  We are up against multi-million-dollar opposition groups with enormous budgets and numerous attorneys - pushing their agenda in the halls of Congress and in courtrooms all across America.
