We Are Growing!
These past few years have brought such a heightened need to our doorstep, and we've been so honored that God has chosen us for this time. Last year, we put out a call to all of you for the need to bring aboard more attorneys to increase our capacity in combating the darkness. Because of your generosity and faithfulness, we'd like to introduce to our newest attorneys, Julianne Fleischer and Bethany Onishenko!
2022 Annual Review - Celebrating a Year of Victories!
Ultimate liberty is founded in believing and accepting the redemptive message of the gospel through Christ. He is the Messiah that was prophesied throughout scripture written hundreds of years before He divinely sacrificed His life on earth.
We are in a pivotal time in history, and God has used Advocates mightily this year to advance the Kingdom. But the fight is not over.
Finishing on a Win!
We have three significant victoriesto report that will impact elections, medical freedom, and the right to spread the Gospel in public!
We want to encourage you: Do not fear! I’m sure you have many concerns regarding the immoral laws being adopted and the general state of our nation. But God has provided many victories through the work of our lawyers and the faithfulness of our clients to stand against evil.
Another Victory to Report, But the State is Relentless!
As I’m sure you are aware, our public institutions have used a State of Emergency as a means to, yet again, capitalize on attacking our freedoms and constitutional liberties. This month, we took on the State of California in the latest attempt to censor any information contradicting the bureaucracy.
Does the Church Have a Say?

Election Case
Soon after the 2020 election, I was asked to meet with the Sacramento County Registrar of Voters. I received a tour of the county election facility where all the election machines and data are stored.
Election Machines: Courtesy of China I was surprised to see the hundreds of boxes of computers and tabulators with the stamp: “Dominion Voting” and “Made in China.” I asked the registrar: “Why in the world would we be using election machines made in China” and why are you using “Dominion Voting instead of one of its competitors?”
Her answer surprised me. She said the California Secretary of State told the counties that the state would only provide funding for upgrading electronic election systems if the county purchased the Dominion Voting system!
I cannot say that this necessarily proves anything in a court of law, but if true, it certainly raises grave concern in my mind over the integrity of our elections. At the time, President Trump had instituted significant trade sanctions against China, and I have no doubt that China and other countries would have loved to manipulate our elections.
New Chief Litigation Counsel
As you can imagine, the last few years of unprecedented attacks on our liberty has created an unprecedented need for experienced litigators battling for our freedom.
This is why I asked an old friend and colleague, attorney Nate Kellum, to join our ministry. Nate is now our Chief Litigation Counsel - overseeing all our litigation. Our partnership with Nate has resulted in an expansion of our caseload across the country including religious liberty cases in Alabama, Colorado, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
Nate is an experienced attorney who has defended religious liberty in courtrooms across the country for over three decades, managing more than 500 litigated cases and 40 appeals before various federal appellate courts. He has won many landmark decisions along the way, including Johnson v. Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board, confirming the right to hand out Bibles in a public park during a public festival, Boardley v. Dept. of Interior, striking down restrictions on distribution of gospel tracts in national public parks, and Brown v. Polk County, upholding the right of a state employee to live out his Christian faith in the government workplace.
