Dear Rodney,
Recently, Vanco
Payment Solutions—an online donation site by which many different
organizations use to accept donations—cut off services from a
Louisiana-based Christian group called the Ruth Institute. It did so
because the Ruth Institute was supposedly “flagged” for “being
affiliated with a product/service that promotes hate, violence,
harassment and/or abuse.” The sole evidence for the Ruth Institute’s
connection to hate? It appears on the Southern Poverty Law Center’s list
of “hate groups.”
As we recently reported however, the SPLC is a hyper partisan organization which unfairly smears mainstream conservative Christian groups. Sign here to let Vanco and other companies know not to trust SPLC’s list of “hate groups.”

More and more
organizations are waking up to SPLC’s libelous attacks on Christians,
but there is still so much work to be done! Large corporations like
Apple and J.P. Morgan still donate to SPLC and media like CNN are still
citing SPLC as an authoritative source on hate groups.
It is true that SPLC lists some bona fide evil organizations like the KKK and neo-nazis on its list. But,
and this is a big “but,” the SPLC also claims that many Christian
groups are also so-called “hate groups” for nothing other than their
belief in the Bible! Take the Ruth Institute for example. It is a Catholic non-profit whose main goal is to protect children from broken and dysfunctional families! This group represents the opposite of hate: genuine love
for kids stuck in the negative side effects of the sexual revolution.
But, because the Catholic theology of the group does not approve of the
new liberal sexual orthodoxy, SPLC has listed it as “hateful.”
Of
course, that’s bunk. But listing it as such has caused Vanco to stop
processing donations and will cause others to discount the Ruth
Institute before ever hearing its persuasive arguments about what is
best for children—never mind the mountains of scientific evidence saying that children need both mothers and fathers to strive.
Indeed,
the SPLC has demonstrated over the course of its existence that it uses
its platforms to bash and unfairly malign mainstream Christians and
conservatives alongside disreputable extremists. As we recently
reported, SPLC included many Christian groups like Alliance Defending
Freedom and Family Research Council on their list of “hate groups” for nothing other than their biblical view of marriage and sexuality.

Is this really the type of close-minded bigotry against Christianity that Vanco and other companies want to promote? Sign this petition now to demand Vanco reinstate the Ruth Institute and stop using it to discriminate against Christians.
Sincerely,
Gregory Mertz and the entire CitizenGO team
P.S. The SPLC is the self-styled “premier U.S. non-profit organization
monitoring the activities of domestic hate groups and other
extremists.” What they fail to mention is that they lump anyone who
disagrees with them politically into that list. Even the FBI and the
U.S. Army have “deleted the [SPLC] from the[ir] lists of legitimate
‘hate crime’ resources” because it is so politically motivated.
