Subject: Obama constitutional crisis deepens!
By forwarding this message, I am not advocating the donation of funds. That
is your choice only. However, I am sending this to let you know what is
going on in government, that which is rarely shown on the news channels.
Somehow this president has to be stopped before he totally destroys our
government as we know it.

By "deeming" the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) to be
indefensible and unconstitutional, President Obama has
once again exposed his willingness to subvert the checks
and balances at the heart of our Constitution. This
crisis is so serious that I have recorded a special
audio message for you. Please carefully read my note
below - Mat.
Thomas,
Just who does Barack Obama think he is? Is he now the Chief
Justice of the United States Supreme Court?
During the same week he used his massive Organizing for
America (OFA) email list to urge liberals to attack state
governors who are trying to cope with emergencies caused by
decades of unsustainable promises to government workers,
he judged a law passed by the Congress of the United States
to be "unconstitutional."
This is outrageous! Barack Obama is NOT the
first Emperor of America! He is not the King,
Lawgiver, and Supreme Judge of our nation.
This arrogance cannot be tolerated.
++The President is shoving us into a full-blown constitutional
crisis!
The subversion of our constitutional republic is reaching
an advanced state. Here's a current example of the havoc
it is wreaking in our judicial system:
In a little over a month, I will argue before
the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals against
Attorney General Eric Holder's team of attorneys
in our lawsuit against ObamaCare. The DOJ is
defending the constitutionality of President
Obama's centerpiece legislation, which, I assure
you, is totally unconstitutional!
Yet yesterday, Obama and Holder announced their
plans to abandon any defense whatsoever of the
federal DOMA, the law which defines marriage as
being between a man and a woman.
They "deemed" DOMA to be unconstitutional in
federal policy as though they had any authority
whatsoever to do so. This, in spite of the
fact that DOMA has been in federal law since
1996 - and has withstood many court challenges.
++The President and his AG took oaths to defend the Constitution.
The unbelievable arrogance demonstrated by Obama and Holder
has stirred a deep resolve among patriotic citizens to stop
this tyranny. This Administration's lack of respect for
the Constitution has once again been dramatically exposed!
The President and his Attorney General have a DUTY to
defend lawfully passed legislation, especially when the
essence of the law has been upheld by many courts. What's
more, THIRTY STATES have passed marriage amendments
affirming marriage as the union of one man and one woman!
President Obama's decision to refuse to defend a
law passed by Congress has caused a tidal wave
of indignation and outright anger among citizens
who recognize this act for what it is - a cynical,
politically motivated dereliction of duty!
If left unchallenged, this kind of overt subversion will
ultimately lead to a disregard for our God-given unalienable
rights and the complete dismantling of our constitutional
system of government.
++Liberty Counsel is fighting to stop this subversive activity!
Right now, Liberty Counsel is standing at the epicenter of
the battle for the soul of America. We are actively engaged
on many fronts in defense of liberty, life, and family.
Here is my pledge to you concerning the President's
refusal to defend DOMA: Liberty Counsel will
continue to aggressively defend the sanctity
of marriage as being between one man and one woman.
And we will "petition to intervene" in any case
in which the sanctity of marriage is not receiving
whole-hearted, quality representation!
I have just recorded an exclusive audio message for my
Liberty Counsel team concerning the Obama/Holder betrayal
of the Constitution and what it means to all Americans.
Please go here to listen to my message:

++We need your help at this crucial hour.
The reality is that we are facing powerful and dangerous
adversaries on the battlefield for liberty. And because
our opponents are so well funded - and in a growing number
of cases supported by federal tax dollars - it is necessary
that I ask for your help to continue fielding the best
possible defense (and offense!) to counter these attacks.
We depend on friends who give $20, $30, $50, $100 - whatever
the Lord leads - so we can stay involved in these crucial
battles.
Please go here to support Liberty Counsel, our defense of
marriage, and to hear my urgent audio message:

Thomas, the decision to sacrifice our nation's
DOMA law on the altar of political expedience represents
one of the most damaging attacks on our nation that has
ever been visited upon our people.
This is not "hype" or overstatement. Sadly, we have reached
a crucial moment in the history of our nation. This outrage
must be confronted!
Liberty Counsel long ago emerged as one of the leading voices
for faith and freedom in the nation. We are turning back
attacks from the ACLU, fighting ObamaCare in court, and
rallying hundreds of thousands of citizens to take action
in defense of faith, marriage, and life.
Please consider making a special gift in this crucial hour!
Your prayers and sacrificial giving literally make it possible
for us to continue our vital work.

++The President's dereliction of duty must not go unchallenged!
I promise you, Liberty Counsel will NEVER stand by silently
as the Obama administration, activist judges, and/or radical
pro-homosexual groups attack the American family!
Now that the Obama Administration has taken
this outrageous course of action, I am more
committed than ever to fight to defend marriage
in our courts and in the court of public opinion!
In fact, a large portion of Liberty Counsel's litigation
docket is already composed of cases related to pro-homosexual
efforts to redefine marriage.
Thomas, will you make a tax-deductible gift to help
Liberty Counsel continue defending marriage in courtrooms
across America and to immediately, forcefully respond to
the President's betrayal of his duty? We urgently need your
help! Go here to make your gift and to hear my urgent audio
update:
http://www.libertyaction.org/r.asp?U=37874&CID=330&RID=24478665
Please help us defend marriage. We need to build
up our war chest to counter the ACLU, Lambda Legal
Defense Fund, and apparently, the United States
Department of Justice! The enemies of the God-
ordained definition of marriage are well funded
and committed to their twisted cause. We simply
must not lose due to a lack of resources!

betrayal of its duty to defend the law of the land:

Please pray about the way in which the Lord might be leading
you to support Liberty Counsel's defense of marriage. And
thank you so much for your prayers and support as we stand
for marriage against the rising tide of legal attacks,
including this most recent outrage from Barack Obama's
Department of Justice.
THANK YOU in advance and may God bless you!

P.S. President Obama's outrageous decision has made me more
determined than ever to stand for marriage - no matter the
cost and no matter how difficult the fight! If you can
