On June 22, 2009, Liberty Counsel asked Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus to stop religious discrimination and reinstate users’ free speech rights on the Navy for Moms Website. Liberty Counsel’s letter to Secretary Mabus was prompted by actions of the United States Navy and the Website’s administrators prohibiting religious speech.

Www.navyformoms.com was set up by the United States Navy to provide support and a means of communication for mothers and other loved ones of current and potential sailors.

On June 12, 2009, a website administrator said that the group’s name, “Christian Chat,” had to be changed because such blatantly religious speech is too divisive for a public forum. In its letter, Liberty Counsel told Secretary Mabus that avoiding controversy is not a valid reason for restricting speech in a public forum.
