Free Speech Defender

Biden Democrats SUED us under the KuKluxKlan Act—for flying Trump flags. We won in court, but we're still $66,000 in debt and out of funds (after spending $315,000)

In 2020, our family joined a peaceful grassroots Trump Train convoy on a Texas highway. We waved American flags, flew Trump flags, and celebrated free speech and civic engagement. That’s it.


But liberal activists on a Biden campaign bus later sued us under the KuKluxKlan Act of 1871, claiming that our political expression on a public road caused them "emotional distress." and "intimidated minorities from from voting." Yes, seriously.


This law—originally passed to stop actual racists and violent mobs—is now being weaponized in federal court to punish average conservatives for expressing free speech. After four years of litigation and media lies, we finally had our day in court.


And we won.


In September 2024, a unanimous federal jury cleared us of all wrongdoing. They saw through the lies. They saw the truth. But the harassment didn’t end there.


No Judgment. No Justice. No Closure.

Despite the jury’s ruling in our favor, the federal judge has refused to issue a final judgment for ten months—an unprecedented delay that has kept us from moving on or fighting back.


Until the judge rules, we can’t file our countersuit to recover our legal expenses or hold these bad actors accountable for abusing the courts and trying to bankrupt our family.


We are stuck in legal limbo—still paying legal bills, still battling behind the scenes, still digging deeper into debt.


Why Does This Matter? Because If It Can Happen to Us, It Can Happen to You.

This case is about far more than just our family. It’s about a dangerous new trend called lawfare: using the legal system as a weapon to silence political opponents, intimidate activists, and punish citizens for holding the “wrong” views.


Lawfare is the new censorship. It’s strategic. It’s abusive. And it’s spreading.


Our case is a warning shot for every freedom-loving American. If our peaceful, flag-waving participation in a political convoy can be twisted into a federal hate-crime lawsuit—who’s safe?


What We’ve Raised—and Why We Still Need Help

We’ve been incredibly blessed by the generosity of patriots across the country who helped us raise $315,000 over the past four years. But here’s the hard truth: every cent has been spent on our legal defense. And the fight isn’t over.


We are currently $66,000 in the hole, and that number is growing by the month as we push for a final ruling and prepare to go on offense with a countersuit.


This is a turning point:


We can press forward for closure and accountability, or be financially crushed by never-ending court costs and judicial delays.


Stand With Us in the Fight for Free Speech

We believe this isn’t just a legal battle—it’s a spiritual one. We’ve clung to Psalm 126:4–5 as a promise from God:


“Restore our fortunes, Lord, as streams renew the desert. Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy.” 


We’ve planted in tears for four years. Now we’re asking for your help to see the harvest.


🙏 Will you give to help us finish this fight—not just for our family, but for the next innocent Americans targeted by lawfare?


Your donation today helps us:

  • Pay down the $66,000 (and climbing) in legal debt
  • Cover continuing court costs
  • And launch the countersuit that could help protect future patriots from weaponized lawsuits

This is our story. This is our stand. Will you join us?
