Yesterday, the President's Religious Liberty Commission (RLC)
met for the second time, and the President himself addressed the
Commission and the nation.

As a Commission member, I was struck by many things in his remarks.
But one truth in particular stood out.

"When faith gets weaker, our nation gets weaker."

For years, the courts have wittled away our First Amendment rights,
particularly our right to live out our faith. The results have been
devastating to people of faith and our nation.

Thankfully, we are reclaiming what's been taken away. Big wins
at the Supreme Court are starting to return the freedom of religion
back to what the Founding Fathers intended.

That's only because of God's favor and people like you.

But there's still more to do and that's why the RLC is so
important.

Watch my comments after yesterday's RLC to get a better
understanding of our mission on the Commission and what we are working
to accomplish.

Monday was a big day for the future of faith in America.

The Commission and the nation got to meet several First Liberty
clients and see firsthand that religious discrimination is real and
occurring all across America.

From the Encinas family whose fifth-grade son was forced to
indoctrinate his kindergarten buddy on gender ideology to Hannah
Allen, who was told she could not pray in the school lunchroom, the
RLC members learned how students are getting bullied and punished for
expressing their faith.

As the RLC works to develop recommendations for fully restoring
religious freedom, I would like to ask you to do two things:

1. Pray for our nation, the President and the Commission as we
work to secure the future of religious freedom for our children
and grandchildren.

2. Continue to support First Liberty, our clients and our expert
legal team as they fight to protect your right to live out your
faith.

Without your help and support, none of this is possible. The legal
fights for our clients. The Supreme Court wins that have expanded
religious freedom. The work we're doing on the Religious Liberty
Commission.

None of it.

So thank you for all you do - for us, your community and your
nation.

Grateful for you, 

Kelly
