Dear Friend,

Today is Giving Tuesday—a day when people across the country choose to support the causes that matter most.
 
And this year, the stakes for freedom could not be higher.
 
Everywhere we turn, the government is expanding its power:

• Surveillance programs are monitoring ordinary Americans.
• Executive orders are being used to bypass constitutional limits.
• Police powers are growing more militarized and unchecked.
• Dissenters are being censored, silenced, and punished.
• The Bill of Rights is treated as optional—especially when inconvenient.

The Constitution cannot defend itself—and defending it has nothing to do with politics.
 
At a time where every issue is twisted into a partisan wedge, The Rutherford Institute remains committed to something far more enduring: the rule of law, the Bill of Rights, and the fundamental liberties that belong to all Americans—no matter who holds power.

We don’t play politics. We don’t take sides.
 
We stand on the side of the Constitution.
 
It needs people who are willing to stand up. People who refuse to surrender their freedoms quietly. People who say “no” to the steady erosion of their rights.
 
That’s why we’re asking for your support today.
 
Your Giving Tuesday contribution—no matter the size—helps ensure that The Rutherford Institute can:

• Challenge government abuse in the courts
• Defend victims of censorship and retaliation
• Expose unconstitutional behavior
• Hold officials accountable for violating the rule of law
• Speak truth to power without fear or favor

• Fought warrantless digital surveillance in cases challenging geofence searches and mass data sweeps.
• Defended students, journalists, and activists targeted for their protected speech.
• Challenged the use of excessive police force and militarized tactics in situations where the Fourth Amendment was ignored.
• Opposed executive actions that bypass constitutional safeguards and expand unchecked government power.

Every one of these battles depends on supporters like you.
 
If you believe the Constitution still matters, we need you with us today.

For freedom,

P.S. The Constitution draws a clear line between the rule of law and the rule of power. Your Giving Tuesday gift helps us hold that line.
