This week, as House Democrats roar ahead with plans to impeach President Trump, I'm thrilled to share with you that Liberty Counsel has a special opportunity to expand our efforts. And it comes at one of the most critical times for people of faith in our nation. Please see below — Mat.

The past year has been unprecedented in many ways...

Never before has Liberty Counsel experienced more opportunities to defend the rights of Christians and uphold our values in the courts.

Never before have we seen a president stand this boldly for life, family and freedom—despite unprecedented levels of coordinated, vicious attacks against his administration.

And never before has this ministry encountered so much opposition, in large part due to the Southern Poverty Law Center's (SPLC) "fake hate" campaign which has created a climate of anti-faith hostility unlike anything we have previously seen.

It is now "open season" on anyone who stands for faith or core American values. As a result, the importance of Liberty Counsel's services has only increased, and will continue to grow in the coming months.

+  +  A special challenge...

As we respond to these increasing attacks, I am grateful that the Lord has provided a very timely Year-End Challenge Grant to our online partners to help us meet our growing need. This means your tax-deductible year-end gift will be effectively doubled in impact and go twice as far!

I deeply appreciate your support this year. The faithfulness of friends like you has made it possible for Liberty Counsel to stand for faith and freedom on the very forefront of many of the key cultural conflicts in our nation.

And that’s especially true when it comes to our landmark defense of Sandra Merritt—who is fighting against a no-holds-barred Planned Parenthood assault.

Now, with our services more and more in demand, I'm asking you to take the lead in helping me meet this special Year-End Challenge Grant.

Here are three reasons your support right now is so vital...

+  +  #1 - I believe Roe will go ...

First, I believe that Roe v. Wade—the 1973 ruling that unleashed abortion on our land and which so far has led to the death of more than 60 million tiny children—will be overturned. God placed this conviction that Roe’s days are numbered in my heart several years ago. It will happen, but we must fight to bring it to pass.

And I’m not alone. U.S. Attorney General William Barr agrees. In his first tenure as Attorney General, Barr declared in 1992,

"I think that Roe v. Wade will ultimately be overturned. I think it'll fall of its own weight. It does not have any constitutional underpinnings."

With numerous cases challenging Roe now in the courts, the Supreme Court will be forced to address it in the near future. With your help, Liberty Counsel is on the leading edge of this battle to defend pre-born life.

Our victory last year before the Supreme Court in defending the rights of pro-life counseling centers is laying the groundwork for more victories as we work to protect the free-speech rights of pro-life citizens who are increasingly being targeted.

And we are defending Sandra Merritt in one of the most important pro-life battles in a generation. We’re fighting the almost unlimited resources of Planned Parenthood and the state of California which conspired to rob her First Amendment freedom and ruin her financially. All because this brave grandmother went undercover to expose Planned Parenthood’s gruesome business of harvesting and selling human body parts from aborted babies.

We simply must expand our work in defense of the unborn and pro-life citizens. That's why this Year-End Challenge is such a Godsend!

+  +  #2 -- Anti-Christian bigotry is on the rise...

As you know, Liberty Counsel and other Christian groups have been the targets of discriminatory practices, thanks in large part to the lies and misinformation coming from the SPLC.

We also have seen more and more businesses and organizations rely on the SPLC's bogus "fake hate" list (which specifically targets Liberty Counsel and other mainstream ministries) to impose bans against us.

The "hate group" scheme -- and the open attacks now taking place against anyone who dares to agree with President Trump -- have made the coming year one of the most dangerous times to be a person of faith in our nation.

And let's be clear – radical forces, including LGBT activists, want to criminalize the Christian faith by placing our beliefs on the wrong side of the law!

I will not sit by as these anti-faith groups target, malign and censor Christian citizens and organizations. Liberty Counsel must commit even more resources to this fight, which is why this Year-End Challenge comes at a crucial time.

+  +  #3 -- The battle for the family has reached a critical stage...

Over the past few years, we have witnessed a shocking and extremely threatening attempt to redefine the very fundamental realities of male, female and marriage. An outrageous same-sex and gender transformation push from Hollywood and Silicon Valley elites, combined with a Supreme Court decision attempting to redefine marriage, has put marriage and family as we know it on the endangered list.

It has gotten so warped that parents are now choosing the non-binary choice of “Gender X" for their babies on official forms. Support for the God-given fact of basic male-female gender is now unacceptable in many cultural and legal circles.

If this trend continues, it will mark the end of civilization that retains any moorings in our Judeo-Christian heritage. Plus, those who dare to uphold God's ideals of man, woman and marriage will find themselves being persecuted in courts of law. Essentially, basic biblical truths are being made "illegal."

Liberty Counsel is on the leading edge of pushing back against this same-sex totalitarianism. In fact, our work has made me one of the most reviled figures among pro-homosexual groups.

Liberty Counsel simply cannot shrink back from this fight for marriage and human sexuality. But to do so, we need an influx of funds. Once again, this special Year-End Challenge Grant can make a huge difference for us!

That's why I'm turning to Liberty Counsel partners like you now. Your generosity is crucial to help fund our expanded efforts.

Every dollar you donate to this Year-End Challenge will effectively be DOUBLED by the generosity of special donors who have made this significant financial challenge.

But we must meet the Challenge by the end of this year to maximize the resources available to our Liberty Counsel team for these critical fights.

Can I count on your help? Please prayerfully consider how you can help meet this Year-End Challenge.

We have this unique opportunity at a critical time in our nation's history. Our faith and freedom are under assault. The very meaning of marriage and human sexuality is being re-written. Liberty Counsel is here to fight back, and win! But we need your help.

This Year-End Challenge is a great blessing. Now, I'm asking friends like you to step forward and meet this challenge so our team can satisfy these critical needs.

Thank you in advance and may God bless you!

P.S. Again, this Challenge Grant is a GODSEND! We expect the battle for life, liberty, faith and family will only escalate in the coming months, and this special Challenge will help us meet the increasing need for legal advocacy. And note that the impact of your gift will be DOUBLED!
