Cincinnati, OH – Today, on behalf of Rowan County, Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis, Liberty Counsel filed a request for an order providing relief pending appeal against Gov. Steven Beshear at the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeal. This is an emergency request for the Governor to accommodate Kim’s religious conviction, which would free her from jail. 

Today is a holiday where most people are spending time with family and friends. But for Kim Davis this is day five of her incarceration. While she is content no matter her circumstances because of her deep faith and Jesus, she should be free.

Today’s filing addresses Gov. Beshear’s inaction and refusal to consider easy accommodations for Kim Davis. From the outset of this case, Kim Davis has proposed numerous simple options to protect her sincerely-held religious beliefs. The Governor’s refusal to take elementary steps to protect religious liberties has now landed Kim Davis in jail.
