Friday A.M.
Friend,
This is a very dangerous development for every Christian who dares to stand for natural marriage in our society today.
A federal judge in Virginia sided with the leading reference group reporting on non-profit organizations, GuideStar, in Liberty Counsel's lawsuit against GuideStar's reckless and damaging use of the "hate group" label as "fact" against Liberty Counsel.
This is a very dangerous development for every Christian who dares to stand for natural marriage in our society today.
A federal judge in Virginia sided with the leading reference group reporting on non-profit organizations, GuideStar, in Liberty Counsel's lawsuit against GuideStar's reckless and damaging use of the "hate group" label as "fact" against Liberty Counsel.
The judge's decision means organizations like GuideStar may be further emboldened to target and label Christians and Christian organizations with the "hate" label without fear of repercussions!
But this battle is not over. Far from it! Right now, my legal team is weighing all aspects of our next steps, including an appeal of this decision.
We are bracing for more "hate group" attacks...
I feel that this decision will only exacerbate the climate of hostility and attacks against pro-faith and pro-family individuals and organizations in the weeks and months to come.
Our legal team is already engaged in several of the most critical legal battles in defense of faith, life, and family under way right now in our nation. The Lord has put us on the front-lines of this fight -- and now we must brace for even greater attacks on people of faith!
I URGENTLY need your help right now.
With even more anti-faith "hate group" attacks likely to come in the aftermath of this lawsuit, along with a caseload that is already stretching our resources, I must EXPAND our legal resources right away.
But these first few weeks of the new year have left us in a serious budgetary SHORTFALL! In fact, we need about $100,000 in the next week to meet our commitments and keep our legal team equipped for these increasing battles.
Thankfully, a dear friend of this ministry has committed a $50,000 Challenge Grant -- but we must match this generous commitment dollar-for-dollar to maximize this Challenge and meet our goal.

With a federal judge's decision encouraging even more "hate group" attacks against Liberty Counsel, other Christian groups, and people of faith in general, would you prayerfully consider making your best possible tax-deductible gift right now to help us in this fight? Go here to make your gift:
The impact of every dollar you donate to this "Give Me Liberty" Challenge Grant will effectively be doubled -- until we reach the goal.
This is CRITICAL. GuideStar has just been told there might be no consequences for openly labeling Liberty Counsel as a "hate group." This could release the floodgates on even more attacks on people of faith who dare to stand up for traditional marriage!
I must fight back.
I must keep fighting on several other critical fronts.
But I cannot meet these dangerous threats to our religious liberties without your help.
Please consider making your best possible tax-deductible gift today. And thank you, in advance, for your prayers and financial support.
Yours for Liberty,
Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman
Liberty Counsel
P.S. This ruling can only embolden GuideStar and others to use the "hate group" label against Liberty Counsel and other pro-faith, pro-family organizations. I must fight back. But I cannot go into these battles weakened by a financial shortfall. Please help. And remember that every dollar you give will effectively be doubled in impact by the $50,000 "Give Me Liberty" Challenge Grant. Go here:

My comments: The LEFT is Relentless in their Attack on Christian Organizations, because they are the only ones standing in their way of the godless TYRANNY they seek.
