April 2009 Parakletos

Although this is a tough time financially for all non-profits, including The Rutherford Institute, we have never been busier. In fact, we are getting barraged with telephone calls, letters and e-mails asking for our help--some of which are reflected in the following case updates.

In terms of religious freedom and civil liberties generally, things are worsening. As all the studies show, students, teachers and the general public have little knowledge of their rights and the Constitution. And it shows in the pleas for help that we receive.

Despite all this, we are committed to helping those who come to us when their freedoms and beliefs are threatened. Thus, we are not cutting back on our caseload, and we are not backing off on any of the issues we fight in the courts. We will stay in the fight, no matter the cost, because we know that our freedoms are not free and must be defended at all costs.

Thank you for standing with us and helping us come to the aid of those of in need.

—John Whitehead, President
