We're Supreme Court Bound!

BREAKING: WTP USA HEADED TO THE SUPREME COURT!
Today the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit denied our motion for a preliminary injunction in our New York healthcare workers lawsuit, that would have stopped the unconstitutional New York health department regulation from taking effect while our lawsuit plays out in court. The court issued this order without an opinion (though one is expected shortly). This means that, for the moment, the State of New York can once again discriminate against healthcare workers by denying them the opportunity to even request a religious exemption to the covid shot mandates, let alone be granted one.

But we aren't taking this lying down. As we promised you from the start, we are going to see this all the way through to the U.S. Supreme Court. Tonight our lead attorney on this case, Cameron Atkinson of Pattis & Smith LLC, is already hard at work crafting arguments as he prepares to file an emergency application for injunctive relief with the nation's highest court. Although unfortunately the Supreme Court denied a similar petition filed on behalf of Maine healthcare workers just today, we have legally distinct arguments from that case. We are far from defeated.

We are asking all of you to first and foremost pray for us as we prepare for this battle. We would also greatly appreciate it if you would consider a donation to our organization. In addition to the New York healthcare workers lawsuit, we have several other cases we are bringing throughout the county, and we have plans for many more. Only your support will make that possible.

Reminder: Our Biggest Day Yet in Court!

WTP USA TO APPEAR IN TWO MAJOR CASES SIMULTANEOUSLY THIS WEDNESDAY!
In April, we filed a federal lawsuit in conjunction with our sister organization, CT Freedom Alliance LLC, challenging Connecticut's repeal of the religious exemption to mandatory immunizations for schoolchildren. This lawsuit is especially important with the threat of mandatory covid shots for children ages 5-12 looming on the horizon.

In September, we filed a federal lawsuit challenging New York's health department regulation which forbids any healthcare workers in the state from even requesting a religious exemption to the covid shot, let alone be granted one. If left unchecked, this would set an extremely dangerous precedent that would allow states to force employees to be injected with a foreign substance regardless of their religious opposition.

This Wednesday afternoon (October 27, 2021), both cases will be heard in court. The CT religious exemption lawsuit will be heard before Judge Janet Arterton in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut on Wednesday at 2:30 p.m., while at 2:00 p.m. on the same day, the NY healthcare workers lawsuit will be heard before a 3-judge panel. While we unfortunately don't have a link to listen to the religious exemption hearing, you can listen to the NY healthcare workers hearing here.

Many have been asking us, "What can I do to help?" Our biggest need right now is funding. These lawsuits have been extremely expensive, and we have many more in the works. Our efforts are not sustainable without significant and reliable donations. We would be very grateful if you would consider making a tax-deductible* contribution today, and tell all of your friends and family to do the same. Together, we can do more than just resist tyranny. We can defeat it dead in its tracks!
*We The Patriots USA, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. In most cases, gifts are tax-deductible, but you should consult a tax preparer for tax advice.

Links for BOTH of tomorrow's court hearings now available!

San Francisco Chronicle:
"What's at stake as political line-drawing enters final stretch"
 

Want to know what's at stake, Robert? Everything.

  • Whether we can adequately address the climate crisis
  • Whether we can reduce income inequality and make this country a land of opportunity for all
  • Whether we can expand healthcare to everyone who needs it
  • Whether we can prevent the gun violence that plagues our communities

Everything we care about depends on achieving a true democracy, which means getting rid of Republican gerrymandering.

But you have to act NOW. Key swing states could enact manipulated maps as soon as THIS MONTH.

Pitch in?
