BUILDING OUR DEFENSE: LIBERTY INSTITUE EVENTS AT VALUES VOTER SUMMIT
Additionally, this year Liberty Institute staff and clients will appear at various events, including:
SUPREME IRONY: AN ALL-NEW BOOK FROM KELLY SHACKELFORD
Liberty Institute President and CEO Kelly Shackelford’s new book, Supreme Irony: The true story of two families’ courage, and the ACLU’s unintended opening of religious freedom in schools, will premiere at this year’s Values Voter Summit.
Expanded from a historic lecture given in the Supreme Court Chambers by Shackelford in November 2013, the book focuses on the aftermath of the case Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District—the Supreme Court decision which ensured that school students do not “shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.” In Supreme Irony, Shackelford explains clearly and precisely how Tinker opened a door to student rights to express controversial views in schools, particularly religious views.
Liberty Institute staff will be on-site at Values Voter Summit with free copies of Supreme Irony, and Kelly Shackelford will sign copies at a special book signing on Friday, September 26 from 5:00-5:30 p.m. You can also sign up to download a FREE e-book version of Supreme Irony here.
UNDENIABLE 2014: AN UPDATE ON RELIGIOUS LIBERTY CASE LAW
Along with Supreme Irony, the new 2014 edition of Undeniable: The Survey of Hostility to Religion in America will also premiere at Values Voter Summit. An ongoing project, Undeniable documents past and present violations of our religious freedoms in four areas—the school, military, church, and public arena—in a case summary collection format.
Based on research by a team led by a Harvard-trained constitutional attorney, Undeniable is an “alarm bell” for the American people—a wake up call to the ever-increasing rate of religious liberties violations taking place in America. The all-new 2014 edition available at Values Voter Summit features more religious liberties cases than ever before, in a compact format compiled by Liberty Institute.

As the nation’s largest legal organization committed solely to the protection of religious liberties, Liberty Institute commends the work of like-minded organizations present at this year’s summit, and their commitment to partner with Liberty Institute in the fight for religious freedom. You, too, can partner with Liberty Institute to defend and restore religious liberty in America, by supporting our legal efforts with a gift today.
Liberty Institute has more than a 90% win rate due to our unique legal model of recruiting the “best of the best” volunteer attorneys for each area of the country and each specialized field of law. Because our volunteer attorneys—who normally might charge more than $1,000 per hour—work free of charge on religious liberty cases, every $1 donated to Liberty Institute can result in as much as $6 worth of legal impact. So thank you for supporting this cause today!
