Join Gideon’s Army

Dec 10, 2024

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
— Romans 8:31

We must STAND against those who want to silence the truth.

Gideon’s army was reduced from 30,000 to just 300. Yet the size of his army had little to do with defeating the Midianites.  

By following God, rather than giving into fear, that brave 1% force changed the course of human history.

Liberty Counsel is currently fighting the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) that would like to “destroy” us.

SPLC represents Janet Jenkins who is suing Liberty Counsel because we represented Lisa Miller until September 2009. This was the first case in the country involving a Vermont civil union. During the pending appeals, Lisa disappeared with her biological daughter. We informed the courts we had lost contact with Lisa. Jenkins is now represented by the SPLC, who has sued many defendants, including Liberty Counsel.

The SPLC’s efforts to “completely destroy” Liberty Counsel have gone on for years, spanning three continents and seven countries. Our legal team has spent more than 10,000 hours reviewing over 186,000 documents and taking 25 depositions that included over 11,000 pages of exhibits and 6,800 pages of transcripts. Then, after engaging in all that time-consuming discovery, Liberty Counsel was forced to expend significant efforts preparing a motion for summary judgment that included a 174-page statement of facts and 142-page legal memorandum, all supported by nearly 6,000 pages of exhibits, plus about 150 pages in our reply arguments.

Every person who testified and every document shows Liberty Counsel had nothing to do with Lisa’s disappearance. This SPLC case is about lawfare with an evil intent. Yet there is not a shred of evidence against Liberty Counsel!

The SPLC’s false “hate label” is dangerous and has caused acts of violence against groups as a result.  In 2013, Floyd Corkins was sentenced to 25 years in prison for his attempted mass murder in 2012 at the Family Research Council (FRC) in Washington, D.C. Corkins admitted that he selected FRC as his target because it was on the SPLC’s “hate group” list.

Mark Potok with the SPLC admitted in an interview: “Our criteria for a ‘hate group,’ first of all, have nothing to do with criminality or violence or any kind of guess we’re making about ‘this group could be dangerous.’ It’s strictly ideological.” Potok stated, “Sometimes the press will describe us as monitoring hate crimes and so on. I want to say plainly that our aim in life is to destroy these groups, to completely destroy them.”
