Dear Judicial Watch Member,
Later today, we will be in court for
oral arguments on the City of Evanston’s motion to dismiss our
lawsuit challenging the city’s race-based “reparations”
program.
And
we need your help!
Our historic lawsuit argues that the city’s use of race as an
eligibility requirement for this program…which makes $25,000
direct cash payments to black residents and descendants of black
residents…violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
And the program uses race as a proxy for discrimination,
without requiring actual proof ofdiscrimination!
I am optimistic our lawsuit will proceed, because Evanston’s
program is clearly discriminatory and unconstitutional…yet sadly,
reparations are gaining steam in other liberal cities and states across the
country.
That’s why Judicial Watch’s class-action lawsuit on behalf
of six white individuals is so critically important…because
if we prevail in Evanston we will be creating a potentially
precedent-setting legal standard to challenge and strike down other
race-based programs.
And
that’s why I am asking you to support us with a contribution
today.
However the court rules on the city’s motion to dismiss our
lawsuit, we will continue this litigation all the way to the end of the
legal road…and that includes, if necessary, the federal appeals
courts all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court!
We are committed to fighting for our “color-blind”
Constitution and its “equal protection” guarantees for all
Americans where it counts, through the legal system and the
courts.
But all our efforts…legal research, investigations, and filing
lawsuits…come with very real price tags attached, especially when we
are confronting the deep pockets of government lawyers!
That’s why I am hopeful you will decide to join with us and help
support
all our work on behalf of the rule of law, with a special
contribution today.
Thank you in advance for your decision to support our
work!
Sincerely,
Thomas Fitton President
