Dear Friend,

Labor Day was born out of struggle: ordinary Americans fighting for dignity, fairness, and the promise of freedom. Yet today, while we rest from our labors, those in power are hard at work stealing the very foundation of our republic.
 
This is not politics as usual. It’s not partisan hardball. It’s theft in the gravest sense imaginable:

• Theft of our sovereignty as citizens
• Theft of our constitutional rights
• Theft of our power to choose and to resist.

The government is seizing what does not belong to it: our voice, our rights, our power to choose and to resist. It is robbing us of the very tools of self-government—accountability, transparency, representation, free speech, bodily autonomy—and replacing them with coercion, propaganda, and force.
 
We are being robbed blind in broad daylight—by the very individuals entrusted with safeguarding our freedoms.

That’s why The Rutherford Institute exists: to call out abuses, defend the Constitution in the courts, and resist every attempt to strip “We the People” of our voice, our rights, and our dignity.
 
But we cannot do this without you. Will you stand with us to reclaim what is being stolen?
 
Your support keeps us on the front lines—exposing theft of power, challenging government overreach, and fighting for the rights of all Americans.
 
This Labor Day, as we reflect on the struggle for freedom and fairness, let us not forget: what has been won through sacrifice can be lost through neglect.
 
Don’t let them steal our nation.

Stand with The Rutherford Institute today in our critical efforts to push back against the government’s power grabs, corruption, immorality and ongoing assaults on the Constitution.

Together, we WILL make America free again.

For freedom,

John W. Whitehead
President
