In just the last three weeks, the ACLJ has:
|
|
Helped rescue an American Christian missionary from a Haitian jail. |
||
|
|
Filed a lawsuit against a pro-abortion New York City law that would effectively shut down pro-life pregnancy centers. |
|
|
|
|
Assisted in the transfer of "Baby Joseph" to an American hospital when his Canadian doctors wanted to take him off life support. |
|
|
|
|
Argued in court to stop the Ground Zero Mosque. |
|
|
|
|
Filed an amicus brief on behalf of 49 Members of Congress in support of Virginia's challenge to ObamaCare and saw our case against ObamaCare fast-tracked in a federal appeals court. |
|
|
|
|
Continued our support of the Mt. Soledad cross with a new amicus brief filing. |
|
|
|
|
Briefed Congress in their hearings on the radicalization of some American Muslims. |
|
|
|
|
Delivered over 60,000 signatures in support of Israel during these turbulent times in the Middle East to the United Nations and President Obama. |
|
|
|
|
All while continuing our work in defense of religious liberty here at home and abroad. |
|

In [our] timely resources, we expose the threat of radical Islam in the Middle East and right here at home. In "The Export" we bring you in-depth analysis on radical Islam from experts like former Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton and former US Attorney General John Ashcroft.
In our booklet on Sharia law, ACLJ attorneys show how Sharia law is wholly incompatible with the Constitution. For example, did you know that under Sharia law, a "woman's testimony is equal to half that of a man['s]" in court? If U.S. courts were to apply Sharia law, as we have recently seen in Florida, imagine the impact this would have on our judicial system. This is the challenge that the ACLJ is facing and will continue to fight with your support and generosity.
We're moving forward with our lawsuit against Planned Parenthood in California, a massive fraud suit alleging that Planned Parenthood over-billed federal and state governments (i.e., American taxpayers) by more than $180 million. A victory in this case could devastate America's largest abortion business.
We are backing several critical pieces of pro-life legislation in Congress which would cut funding for Planned Parenthood, and ultimately save lives.
After our recent arguments in court in New York City, we are progressing with our lawsuit challenging construction of an Islamic victory mosque at Ground Zero, the site where wreckage of one of the planes used in the 9/11 terrorist attacks landed.
We continue battling ObamaCare, the massive government encroachment on personal liberties and record-shattering taxpayer funding for abortions. We're directly suing the government in federal court in our case, "Mead v. Holder," which has now been fast-tracked in the federal appeals court in Washington, D.C. And, we've filed amicus briefs in related cases in Virginia, Michigan, and Florida, with more to come.
Perhaps of most critical immediate importance: we're pushing back against the intrusion of brutal Islamic Sharia law in the U.S. judicial system.

Father, we're desperate for you. Help us to do what you would have us do in all areas of this life. We're so grateful for our country, Lord, but we need your forgiveness. And restoration. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
