Comments from Individuals | Comments from the Media Individuals
"We are only able to fight on because ADF is standing with us in the fight -- not just through grants, but through prayer and encouragement from people we know care about us and those we serve. Without you, we would be overwhelmed. " - Attorney, Orlando, Florida
"We thank God for you and for the work you are doing for the present and future families of America. We are grateful for the voice we have through you in our courts and government." - E.M., Yorkville, Illinois
"I believe this unique ministry is essential to the stability and preservation of this country." - E.D., Georgetown, Texas
"I am so impressed by the clarity of focus, the sense of God-given purpose, and the passionate pursuit of righteousness I see evidenced in everything you do. If I was not already called by God to the ministry I am currently serving in, I would love to work at ADF. Keep up the great work!" - Pastor, Tempe, Arizona
"Thank you, ADF, for all your efforts on behalf of all God-fearing Americans concerning the gay marriage issue! We are proud and grateful to support you through Focus on the Family." - S.B., Cedar Rapids, Iowa
"I am very proud of what you are doing and the challenges your organization is willing to face for the benefit of our great nation." - G.J., Woodbury Heights, New Jersey
"I saw your Lou Dobbs interview with the ACLU president a few weeks ago.... My wife and I were so completely impressed with your attitude and approach throughout, speaking truth and doing so with discretion and honor. Thank you for representing your organization and the legal views of so many Christians in America so professionally and honorably." - P.S., St. Petersburg, Florida
"I just saw you on Bill O'Reilly – you were great. I've received mailings from you in the past and have occasionally donated, but to see Bill start off with what the ACLU is doing to this country and to our religious rights, I realize how important it is what you and your organization are doing." - K.R., Papillion, Nebraska
"I have been meaning to write for a long time and say thanks. My wife and I are supporters of the ministry. We wanted you to know how thankful we are for what you and your team do." - A.M., San Clemente, California
"I pray that God grants you the force and proficiency to increase your good work." - C.I., Lisbon, Portugal
"Our prayers are constantly with you. Keep charging!" - M.M., Luther, Michigan
"A thousand times thank you for your efforts to educate and protect the public with regard to sexually-oriented businesses. The sex industry is a magnet for women who are emotionally disordered, often from sexual abuse or abandonment by a father, and is a conduit for those same women into prostitution, drug and alcohol abuse, disease, violence, and of course abortion. This threat to the wellbeing of women, children, and communities is especially insidious because it comes to us in the form of "entertainment." It's dehumanization for profit and I pray that we have the strength to keep up this fight, and that many others will join us." - J.M., Roslindale, Massachusetts
"We are proud to support the Alliance Defense Fund in our missions and continue to pray for your ministry. Your ministry has made a difference in our lives for eternity!" - Pastor, Wolverine Lake, Michigan
"I just finished reading The Homosexual Agenda and I wanted to thank-you for helping me further solidify my career choice. America is in desperate need for passionate, Christian lawyers to help defend the values that our nation was founded on. I strongly believe that I am one of the people God has called to be involved in the legal battle for our nation.
"Thanks also for your perseverance in the battle for a better America." - K.P., Atlanta, Georgia
"We believe in what you are doing and want to be a part of achieving victories for the glory of our great Lord." - T.H., Xenia, Ohio
"Keep up the battle! Fight the good fight! We are 100% behind you in both prayers and money." - J.M., Ann Arbor, Michigan
"I would like to express my gratitude for the excellent resource that The Homosexual Agenda has proven to be. I found it almost remarkable that I turned my television on tonight, only to find out that the agenda that you discussed was being pushed on a network this very evening."…as a young minister - this is a vital resource that will be foundational in my understanding of the cultural agenda on this subject." - Associate Minister, Brentwood, Tennessee

"Today, thanks to the work of organizations like the Alliance Defense Fund, the right of younger students to the free exercise of religion on an equal basis is being acknowledged...." - Ken Blackwell, Townhall.com
“If there is a single organization most responsible for the surge in student-speech cases, it may be the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), an Arizona-based network of Christian lawyers. Since 1994 the ADF has filed hundreds of cases advocating religious speech in the schools and a spokesman claims that it is ‘the driving force on this issue in the courts today.’” - TIME magazine
“Last Friday night, I spoke before the Alliance Defense Fund in Colorado Springs. That organization has been set up to counter the ACLU, and now has more than 1,000 lawyers on the case.

You might want to check out www.alliancedefensefund.org and see if you agree.” - Bill O’Reilly, “Talking Points: Patriots and Pinheads”
“The Alliance Defense Fund isn’t necessarily a household name, but chances are you’ve heard about its handiwork. And with 1,000 or so lawyers getting ADF training, you’ll likely be seeing more and more of the group’s efforts in the coming years.” - thecarpetbaggerreport.com
