Friend, Joe Biden's White House just changed the requirements for a journalist to obtain hard-pass credentials.
The result...
...effectively banning our client, Simon Ateba, and more than 440 reporters from the White House Briefing Room.
The White House is sending a loud, clear message: if you don't work for CNN, The New York Times, or another legacy media outlet, and if you refuse to mindlessly lob soft balls to Karine Jean-Pierre about Joe Biden's ice cream du jour, you don't belong in the White House Press Corps.
Because this White House doesn't respect the freedom of the press.
Which is why I'm asking you for an urgent donation of $35 or more today to help fund Simon's lawsuit against the White House and Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
This White House has a terrible record of censoring journalists whose stories make the White House look bad.
We all remember how the Biden Administration pressured "Big Tech" to censor journalists questioning the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Now, the White House is shifting its attention to our client, Simon Ateba.
Simon Ateba is a journalist and White House correspondent with Today News Africa, a small a news organization focusing on ties and interactions between Africa and the United States.
Simon frequently challenges Karine Jean-Pierre's non-answers, inaccurate information, and demands transparency and the truth.
In response to Simon's insistence on getting the truth, the White House and Jean-Pierre changed the rules, I believe, to specifically target Simon and other journalists like him who want nothing more than to do their job as real journalists.
That's right - the White House rewrote the rules to shut out hundreds of hardworking reporters.
And that's why we're suing the White House and Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on behalf of reporter Simon Ateba.
Will you send an urgent donation $35 or more to the Center for American Liberty today to support our lawsuit on behalf of Simon Ateba and his fight for justice?
You and I know the White House's actions here are a clear violation of the freedom of the press.
This is bigger than Simon or any one journalist, Friend.
Because the Biden Administration doesn't just want to shut up Simon...
... it wants to censor every journalist who challenges the White House's lies, corruption, or abuse of power.
We need your help right away.
Which is why I'm asking you for an urgent donation of $35 or more today to help fund Simon's lawsuit against the White House and Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
That's why we've taken on Simon Ateba's legal battle - and why I hope you will step up and help us win this important battle.
Simon needs you, our attorneys need you, and your country needs you.
Thank you in advance for your support.
