A California attorney asserts that battles for faith, family and freedom in The Golden State will intensify in the coming years, even if Mitt Romney is elected president.
Bob Tyler of Advocates for Faith & Freedom, a legal group that fights for faith, family and freedom in California, says his group has seen a greater assault against those values this year.
"I have no doubt that based upon the laws that are currently in place in California, we will see our battles continue to intensify, even if Romney is elected as president, because we have so many state laws and local laws in California that are oppressive toward Christianity," the general counsel suggests.
Tyler asserts that Christians must continue to fight to preserve ground in California.
"Let's hope that we will see a shift in 2012. It's probably not one we're going to absolutely win in 2016, but let's hope that there's a big shift by 2016," he offers. "By 2020, if the Christians continue to strategize and the conservative leaders in the state continue to meet and move forward on our efforts, I think that we will over the next ten years see a significant change in California."
The legal group vows to continue the fight to preserve liberty.
Conservative author Dinesh D'Souza will join Advocates for Faith & Freedom as its "Justice 2012" gala keynote speaker. The popular author has lately made headlines for the documentary 2016: Obama's America, a film based off his book, The Roots of Obama's Rage. (Listen to audio report)
Considering the challenges facing the nation over the next four years, Tyler says it is important that D'Souza headline the event.
"We expect that he will discuss the vital importance that this election will have on the future of religious liberty in America. We anticipate that he'll also discuss the significance for us that liberties have been under since this administration took office, and hopefully he'll be able to shed some light on the origins for the attacks on religious liberty that have occurred, and hopefully will enlighten our audience."
The Justice 2012 event will take place on October 6.
