Give a Year-End Gift to Preserve Our God-Given Rights
For Future Generations

December 28, 2020 by developer

“These are the times that try men’s souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country, but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”

— Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, December 19, 1776

Two hundred and forty-four years ago, today, in the early morning hours of December 26, 1776, General George Washington and his 2,400 weary men climbed onto boats, crossed the howling, ice-covered Delaware River and defeated a large force of Hessian mercenaries in the surprise attack. His bold plan saved the American Revolution, which was on the verge of collapsing after only six months.

Although demoralized by defeats and desertions, that morning Washington’s army fought with renewed zeal inspired by Tom Paine’s words, “These are the times that try men’s souls . . . but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”

Today, America is facing another crisis. It’s a crisis of anarchy and self-destruction incited by foreign governments, radical left-wing politicians and our own corrupt institutions. The sacrifices of those early American Patriots and the generations of patriotic Americans that followed them ensured for us the God-given rights of freedom. You and I now have a sacred obligation to pass on that gift to future generations.

Momentous battles lie ahead in 2021. Your past generous financial support has helped the Thomas More Law Center to engage in the legal battles to maintain a strong and free America, and to restore and preserve our Nation’s Judeo-Christian heritage and moral values.

So, as 2020 draws to a close, please consider making another sacrifice—a special year-end, tax-deductible gift to the Thomas More Law Center. You must make your donation by December 31, 2020 in order for it to be deductible on your 2020 Federal tax return.

If you have already given your year-end donation, thank you.

Online donations must be made by December 31, 2020 in order for it to qualify as a tax deduction on your 2020 Federal tax return. If you mail in a donation, the envelope must be postmarked by 12/31/2020.

Thank you for your consideration.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

God bless you and your loved ones. God bless America.

The Freedom of Future Generations Depends on Your Willingness to Sacrifice for Them Now

December 22, 2020 by developer

When the first American patriots encamped at Valley Forge during the winter of 1777, George Washington wrote that you could tell the route of their marches by their bloody footprints in the snow.

Some were boys as young as 12 ─ others in their 50s and 60s. They were barefoot, half-naked, with no food, suffering from all kinds of illnesses, fighting for freedom. ─ 2,500 of the 11,000 encamped at Valley Forge died during that harsh winter.

You and I cannot allow their sacrifices to be in vain.

Freedom of speech and assembly, religious liberty, and the right to bear arms are systematically being crushed by a combination of internal forces—the big tech companies in Silicon Valley, mainstream media, our universities and entertainment industry, and radical left-wing politicians and organizations.

Politicians at all levels of government, major corporations and universities vital to our national security have been infiltrated by the Chinese communists.

As you can imagine, we are preparing for momentous battles in 2021.

As 2020 draws to a close, please consider making a special year-end gift by clicking here.

The future of freedom for America is in your hands. Thank you for caring so much.

My warmest wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Richard Thompson

The Second Christmas Day Miracle: Keep It Alive
Only 2 Days Left

December 30, 2019 by TMLC

Six months after America declared her independence from Great Britain, the American Revolution was all but lost. It was an American crisis. George Washington’s Army was chased out of New York and New Jersey. It had lost every battle against the British. Starting out with 20,000 men and 300 cannons, he was left with 2,000 men and 18 cannons. In a few days the enlistment of the remaining half of his Army would expire.

But Washington refused to let the Revolution die. His daring plan was to cross the Delaware River on Christmas night and mount a surprise attack against the most feared Hessian soldiers. He moved his men, horses and cannons on shallow bottom cargo boats, challenging the howling winds, a blinding snow storm and ice flows. The surprise attack on Christmas day 1776 was a resounding success. It saved the Revolutionary War and ensured the freedom we enjoy today.

Yet, America’s existence is threatened with another crisis, one that is spiritual. And it’s your turn to keep alive Washington’s dream and the dream of those patriotic men and women who endured the Christmas day battle of 1776.

Join the Thomas More Law Center’s legal battles to preserve our Nation’s Judeo-Christian heritage and moral values and a strong, independent and sovereign United States of America.
