The plaintiffs who weaponized the legal system against our family still aren’t finished. Their lawfare continues months after the trial ended.
Even after the jury’s verdict which found us not liable on 9/23/24, the plaintiffs refuse to let go. The federal judge’s final ruling, which is required to officially close the case, has been delayed for nearly a year. This delay keeps the case open, preventing us from recovering legal fees by launching a countersuit, and fully restoring our family’s finances and reputation.
Every day that the delay continues, the financial toll climbs. Despite best fundraising efforts, we are still nearly $70,000 in legal fee debt.
We promised that if you would stand with us, we’d fight back. We did—and we still are. This fight was never just about us. It’s about protecting you—your voice, your rights, your freedom. It’s about protecting every American’s right to speak freely without being punished by activist lawfare.
The battle isn’t over—and we can’t finish it without you.
In 2020, our family joined a peaceful convoy known as the “Trump Train” to exercise our First Amendment rights. But what should have been a simple act of free expression quickly spiraled into a political and legal nightmare.
The left’s new tactic—known as lawfare—weaponizes the courts to punish, silence, and financially cripple conservatives, activists, and anyone who dares to speak out - regular people, just like you. This was never just about us; it was about sending a chilling message to everyone who shares our beliefs.
Corrupt politicians took a story, twisted it beyond recognition, and leveraged activist groups and biased media to paint us as villains. They built a false narrative so strong that it spread like wildfire—even convincing people who knew us that we were "a threat to democracy".
This kind of lawfare isn’t theoretical. It’s real. It’s happening across the country. Whether it’s grandmothers quietly praying outside abortion clinics, homeschool families teaching their children about the Constitution, or patriots campaigning for their favorite candidate—the threat is the same: be silent or be crushed.
For over four years, we endured this devastating assault—emotionally drained, financially stretched, and spiritually tested. The plaintiffs and their legal teams relentlessly pursued us, not to seek justice, but to exhaust us, scare us, and make an example of us, with one goal: to silence you.
Yet on September 23, 2024, the jury saw the truth behind the lies and delivered a resounding verdict: Not Liable (which is the civil court's version of "not guilty").
That victory was monumental for Free Speech rights. But this fight is far from over. The plaintiffs refuse to let go, and the court’s final judgment remains delayed—keeping us trapped in a punishing legal battle with mounting costs and no end in sight.
We’re still fighting—not just for ourselves, but for every American who dares to speak freely. This battle isn’t just about clearing our name anymore. It’s about pushing back on the growing weaponization of the legal system.
We need your help to finish strong. Equip us to go on the offense—to shut down this abuse before it silences someone else.
On September 23, 2024, after a brutal four-year legal battle, a jury unanimously ruled in our favor—clearing us of all wrongdoing and false claims. Yet the judge has still not entered final judgment, blocking us from closing this chapter and moving forward with a countersuit to recover hundreds of thousands of dollars spent, restore our reputation, and hold the corrupt activist groups accountable.
Although the jury cleared us, the plaintiffs intentionally piled on unnecessary fees during the trial—including over $20,000 in printed transcript costs alone—as part of their abusive tactics. Mid-trial, we ran out of funds, forcing us to dig deeper into debt. Since then, the judge’s delay in issuing final judgment has kept the case open, causing legal fees to continue accumulating. Now, as we prepare to go on the offense with a countersuit to hold these bad actors accountable, new and necessary legal expenses are mounting as well.
Potentially — yes. That’s our plan. Once the judge issues a final judgment, our attorney will file a countersuit seeking reimbursement for legal costs. The court will then decide what amount, if any, we are entitled to recover. Until the judge's final ruling is made, we cannot proceed.
