Kelly Shackelford, President and CEO of First Liberty Institute, says, "We made the slight adjustment to our name in order to emphasize that religious freedom is America's 'First Liberty.' It is the first freedom protected in the first phrase of the First Amendment to the Constitution. It's the liberty on which all of our other freedoms depend."
