Why Membership Matters 
Jack, Since we founded Liberty Legal Foundation we have stepped out on faith that if we provide sound legal strategies that address core Constitutional issues, people will follow. This has proven to be true. We now have over 32,000 members from all 50 states. Your membership is vital for at least two reasons. First, when we argue our cases in court or before legislators, being able to say over 32,000 people are behind the issue at hand gets attention. Just this weekend Van was able to present a critical State's Rights bill before several TN legislators. We earned their cooperation in getting these bills through the legislature because of our strong membership. Secondly, the small donation we ask from new members makes it possible to continue and grow our legal activities. Filing fees, document production, travel, etc, all add up quickly. We don't receive any support outside of our membership. If it weren't for your support, we couldn't do what we do. Last week we shared with you that Obama's eligibility to be on Georgia's ballot will FINALLY be heard on the merits. Obama's attorney had filed a motion to dismiss to prevent that from happening. Liberty Legal Foundation filed the ONLY response to that motion. If we hadn't filed that opposition, this case may have ended on procedure. Now we have a hearing set for January 26th in Atlanta, GA. Please be at this hearing if you can. Go here for more details. Currently we are preparing our Amicus Brief in support of Florida, et al to have Obamacare ruled unconstitutional. Again, we are the ONLY organization that is making the legal argument that is fully in line with the various district and appellate court opinions to date on Obamacare. All of those opinions cite Wickard v. Filburn as the source of the conflict. Liberty Legal Foundation will be filing the ONLY Amicus Brief that provides the Supreme Court with the logical answers to the questions this "Wickard" conflict creates. Thankfully we already have one Justice on our side. “[T]he very notion of a ‘substantial effects’ test under the Commerce Clause is inconsistent with the original understanding of Congress’ powers and with this Court’s early Commerce Clause cases. By continuing to apply this rootless and malleable standard, however circumscribed, the Court has encouraged the Federal Government to persist in its view that the Commerce Clause has virtually no limits.Until this Court replaces its existing Commerce Clause jurisprudence with a standard more consistent with the original understanding, we will continue to see Congress appropriating state police powers under the guise of regulating commerce.” United States v. Morrison, 529 U.S. 598 (2000)(Justice Thomas, concurring). We’re working non-stop to keep up with our current cases and review new opportunities to restore our Constitution. We are so grateful for both your financial support and your encouragement. So many of our members take the time to write us uplifting notes. Honestly, those notes keep us going. We know we are fighting for people who love our country and Constitution as much as we do. This is why membership matters. Together we are much stronger than each of us could be on our own. Please continue to encourage your friends and family to join us.
