Kelly Shackelford
President and CEO - First Liberty Institute
Mr. Shackelford is a constitutional scholar who has argued before the United States Supreme Court, testified before the U.S. House and Senate on constitutional issues, and has won three state landmark First Amendment and religious liberty cases in the past few years alone. He was recently named one of the 25 greatest Texas lawyers of the past quarter century by Texas Lawyer, and is the recipient of the prestigious William Bentley Ball Award for Life and Religious Freedom Defense for his leadership and pioneering work protecting religious freedom.
Will You Stand for Religious Liberty?
Are you willing to stand?
That’s what First Liberty President Kelly Shackelford asked over 2,000 attendees at last weekend’s Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C.
Sharing stories of First Liberty clients who have been discriminated against, fired and even financially penalized for their faith, Shackelford emphasized the hope that exists for religious freedom if Americans are willing to defend it.
Shackelford pointed to evidence that despite the rising hostility toward people of faith in America, religious liberty cases often win in court. He pointed specifically to First Liberty’s rate of victory “for over 15 years in a row”—90 percent.
Shackelford attributed the high percentage to “top attorneys in the country” who give their time to work on religious liberty cases locally, and current legal precedent supporting religious freedom.
First Liberty’s high victory rate has even survived a historic skyrocket in legal attacks, Shackelford told summit attendees from the main stage on Friday.
“We went from 260 legal matters in 2014 to 513 legal matters in 2015, and 513 legal matters was turning away 90 percent of the requests,” he said, adding that the need for more attorneys is “huge.”

Trump-Clinton Debate
As we point out in our new bestseller "Armageddon: How Trump Can Beat Hillary," there is a fundamental flaw in Hillary Clinton's campaign approach and the debate coming up on Monday should make it evident.
Hillary and the Democrats have based their campaign on demonizing Donald Trump, calling him dangerous, unpredictable, racist, Islamophobic, demagogic, sexist, lacking in temperament and judgement, bombastic, jingoistic and a litany of other names.
His supporters belong in a "basket of deplorables."
It is a campaign conducted by a speechwriter with a well-thumbed thesaurus.
Against Barry Goldwater in 1964 and George McGovern in 1972, such a strategy of name calling could and did work. But now we have televised debates. (There were none in '64 or '72).
We will meet Donald and will see that he is none of the things Hillary says he is. Before he takes a single stand on a single issue, it will be evident that he is not the diabolic candidate Hillary paints.
In some cases, the road is coming up to meet him. The problems he has focused on have become so serious that his formerly extreme rhetoric now makes sense. How can we look at the mayhem caused by an Afghani immigrant without thinking about stopping more from coming in?

Will Charlotte Riots Help Trump?
With every wave of anti-police violence and rioting, the chance of a backlash from fed-up voters grows. Watching the depressing news of rioting in my beautiful home state of North Carolina, I’m beginning to think ...
