Same-Sex "Marriage"

The ACLU is fighting for same-sex marriage to be completely legalized across the country. Most recently, they successfully pushed their agenda against traditional marriage through the California Supreme Court and opened the floodgates for same-sex couples to marry in California. This was overturned by Californian voters through Proposition 8.

Winkler v. Chicago School Reform Board

The ACLU demanded Chicago schools stop all association with the Boy Scouts of America because the group requires leaders to believe in God and does not allow boys living a homosexual lifestyle to be members. This lawsuit was initiated by the ACLU’s Gay and Lesbian Rights Project and is still in court.

Lawrence v. State of Texas

The ACLU fought against the Texas sodomy law in the U.S. Supreme Court. Their real goal was to make all marriage laws restricting marriage to one man and one woman unconstitutional. Free Market’s legal team assisted the State of Texas in preparing for the case. We also represented 70 Texas legislators calling for the Court to uphold the sodomy law as part of the state laws protecting marriage. The Court ruled that there is a constitutional "right" to sodomy and validated homosexual relations.

Mojave Desert Case

The ACLU is attacking all veterans’ memorials with religious symbols on a California lawsuit. They are demanding the removal of a cross memorial built by the Veterans of Foreign Wars in 1934. The cross was privately donated by Veterans of Foreign Wars to honor American soldiers who have lost their lives at war. This case is still at trial, and meanwhile, the cross is actually covered with boards.

Mt. Soledad Cross

The ACLU attacked the Mt. Soledad Cross, a monument built in 1913 in San Diego, CA. The ACLU claims that NO religious symbol should even be seen on public land. The cross is now a part of a Korean War memorial and stands on private land sold by the government. Free Market continues to battle the ACLU and defend the right to religious expression in court.

Boy Scouts of America v. Dale

A homosexual Boy Scout leader sued the Boy Scouts for not allowing homosexuals to be Scout leaders over young boys.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Boy Scouts 5-4.

Hamden v. Rumsfeld

The ACLU pushed for the U.S. Supreme Court to allow Guantanamo Bay terrorist detainees to file lawsuits in federal court. As part of their “John Adam’s Project,” the ACLU is now assembling teams to defend these enemy combatants in America’s civilian courts!

Ali v. Rumsfeld

The ACLU represented eight detainees captured in Iraq and Afghanistan in a lawsuit attacking Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld’s authority. The lawsuit asked the federal courts to meddle in foreign affairs and undermine President Bush and our leaders who are responsible for capturing terrorists and keeping the American people safe. The ACLU aimed to paralyze the President’s ability to fight terrorism and protect Americans.

Curley v. North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA)

In 2000, the ACLU defended NAMBLA against parents who filed suit against the organization for encouraging the rape and murder of their 10-year-old son. NAMBLA is an organization that promotes adult/child sexual relations and works to remove laws protecting young boys from pedophiles. They also host a website encouraging child pornography and meetings between children and older men. The ACLU completely perverted the meaning of “free speech” when it promoted NAMBLA over the rights of children to be protected against such wickedness.

ACLU v. Ashcroft

In 2004, the ACLU filed a lawsuit against the Child Online Protection Act (COPA). COPA was a law that penalized websites for posting pornographic and other offensive materials where children could easily see them. The ACLU won the case on the grounds that COPA could inhibit freedom of speech.

Roe v. Wade

The ACLU was in the fight for abortion in the 1973 landmark case. They made up a ‘constitutional right’ for women to kill their child in the first six months of pregnancy. The ACLU celebrated the 30^th anniversary of Roe v. Wade last year, honoring more than 48 million abortions that have taken place since the case was won.

Infanticide Cases

In a number of ‘Baby Doe cases,’ the ACLU filed lawsuits promoting infanticide. In Indiana, a couple gave birth to a Down ’s syndrome baby that had physical defects requiring routine surgery. The parents decided to starve the child, who later died. The ACLU represented the parents, saying that the decision to starve their child was within the couple’s ‘right to privacy.’ Thankfully, the court disagreed.

American Library Association v. The United States of America

The ACLU sued the federal government, declaring that filtering child pornography was unconstitutional. Free Market filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court representing cities, mayors and county commissioners across the country who wanted the right to filter this obscene content from their library’s computers. In a victory for children and families, The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that federally-funded libraries must filter out child pornography.

Moreno v. Ector County I.S.D.

The ACLU filed suit against the Odessa, Texas school district, challenging the Bible elective class taught in two of the district’s high schools. They filed suit despite the U.S. Supreme Court numerous statements that it is constitutional for public schools to offer a Bible elective, in the context of history and literature. Free Market represented the school district to protect the elective classes. Only after extensive and costly mediation sessions, approved by the court, did the ACLU back down and agree to allow the Bible to be used as the primary course textbook.

ACLU v. McCreary County (The American Legion)

Free Market represented the American Legion at the U.S. Supreme Court to defend veterans' memorials against the ACLU attacks across the nation. Free Market organized the practice sessions and legal briefs to protect the Ten Commandments display. The U.S. Supreme Court ultimately ruled that this particular display was unconstitutional. However, the Court's decision allowed for local communities to display the Ten Commandments as long as certain guidelines were followed.

Van Orden v. Perry

An atheist filed a lawsuit against the state of Texas to have the Ten Commandments monument at the Texas Capitol removed. Free Market assisted the Texas Attorney General's office in preparing and organizing the case. Free Market represented the Fraternal Order of Eagles before the U.S. Supreme Court and argued that our Constitution has never supported censoring our country’s heritage. The Fraternal Order of Eagles donated the monument to the State of Texas more than forty years ago as a symbol to battle against juvenile delinquency. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the monument, protecting thousands of monuments like it at state capitols and in public parks across this nation.
