Building on the Victories of 2014 in the Year Ahead
2014 has been a year of tremendous victories.
Hundreds of thousands of you have stood with us at the Supreme Court, as we testified before Congress, at the United Nations, and in the media as we have taken on some of the toughest challenges to life and liberty we have ever faced.
You have been a part of literally hundreds of victories, both large and small.
This year after handing President Obama two unanimous defeats at the Supreme Court over his unconstitutional non-recess appointments and his ongoing attempts to silence pro-life speech, we helped defeat ObamaCare’s abortion-pill mandate. For year’s we’ve been fighting against President Obama’s abortion-pill mandate, winning victories in 7 different cases nationwide.
We also shut down President Obama’s attempts to put monitors in America’s newsrooms, stopped angry atheists from tearing down the Ground Zero Cross, and exposed an out of control IRS intent on censoring conservative and pro-life Americans.
We stopped pro-abortion radicals from using an extremist anti-life law in New York City (the nation’s abortion capital) to shutdown the lifesaving work of pro-life pregnancy centers nationwide.
We defeated a bigoted academic boycott against Israel and defended a Christian professor from a liberal university’s discriminatory attempts to censor him in a major jury verdict for academic freedom.
Through our New York Times #1 bestselling book, “Rise of ISIS: A Threat We Can’t Ignore,” we exposed ISIS – the Islamic State – as it inflicts genocide on Christians in Iraq and Syria. Because of your loud outcry, we were able to force the Obama Administration to begin to deal with this radical jihadist threat to not only our brothers and sisters in Christ in the Middle East but to America itself.
Our work for the persecuted Church did not stop there. We helped free Meriam Ibrahim – a Christian wife and mother of U.S. citizens – from an execution sentence for her Christian faith in Sudan and won numerous victories for persecuted Christians in Pakistan and beyond.
Yet there is so much more to be done in the year ahead. We are committed to securing freedom for Pastor Saeed Abedini – a U.S. citizen wrongfully imprisoned for more than two years in Iran for his Christian faith – and we continue fighting for Asia Bibi – a Christian mother of five facing death by hanging because she is a Christian in Pakistan.
Christians aren’t just facing persecution from radical Islamic governments in Iran, Sudan, and Pakistan. Christians and Jews are facing unimaginable persecution and death from jihadist armies like ISIS, Boko Haram, and Hamas.
We’re also continuing our global fight to defend the unborn. Each year President Obama – the most pro-abortion President in history – has unleashed new assaults on life and his extremist pro-abortion allies continue their vicious attacks not only on pro-life laws but even your right to speak the truth about the unborn.
And we will continue to challenge President Obama’s executive overreach – standing up in court in key cases involving ObamaCare and illegal immigration – his ongoing efforts to unconstitutionally bypass Congress, violating the separation of powers.
We’re ready to take on these challenges. Whether it is ObamaCare, anti-life laws, attempts to silence free speech, discrimination against Christians, attacks on Israel, or deadly persecution, we are aggressively fighting for life and liberty. With your continued support, we will continue to win.
Thank you for your commitment and resolve in 2014 and thank you in advance for your continued support in the year to come.
