BRAD DACUS |
About Brad:
Dacus served as Legislative Assistant to U.S. Senator Phil
Gramm, and went on to receive his Juris Doctorate from the
University of Texas, School of Law. For the next five years, Mr.
Dacus coordinat-ed religious freedom and parental rights cases
throughout the Western states. In 1997, Mr. Dacus founded
Pacific Justice Institute, where he serves as President and
continues to defend religious liberties and parental rights. The
Pacific Justice Institute has a network of approximately a
thousand volunteer affiliate attorneys and handles more cases on
the West Coast than any other organization of its kind.
Brad Dacus has been a
guest speaker on numerous radio and television programs,
participates weekly in several radio talk show interviews, and
has appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America," "The Today Show,"
"CNN," "Hannity and Colmes," "News Talk TV," "MSNBC," "NBC
News," NBC "Dateline" and many times on the "O'Reilly Factor."
Mr. Dacus' varied public speaking opportunities include
public debate, on two occasions, against the president of the
ACLU, and on another occasion, against the president of
"Americans United for Separation of Church and State." In April
of 2007 he testified before the United States House of
Representatives in Washington, D.C. in opposition to H.R. 1592,
the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007. He
has also testified numerous times before the California State
Legislature on legislation affecting religious freedom and
parents' rights. He has guest lectured at Stanford University
School of Law. Mr. Dacus continues to speak regularly at
churches, conferences, graduations, and conventions throughout
the United States, including pastors’ legal seminars and
workplace seminars co-sponsored by Pacific Justice Institute
with local churches and Christian colleges and universities.
Recently in December
2008, Dr. Ronald Ellis from California Baptist University
presented Brad with an honorary Doctorate of Religious Freedom
and Family Rights degree in recognition of his commitment to
faith and justice and his work protecting parental rights and
religious freedom through the Pacific Justice Institute.

About Pacific Justice Institute: |
|
Pacific Justice
Institute is a non-profit 501(c)(3) legal defense organization
specializing in the defense of religious freedom, parental
rights, and other civil liberties. Pacific Justice Institute
works diligently, without charge, to provide their clients with
all the legal support they need. |
|
|
|
"Through our dedicated attorneys and
supporters, we defend the rights of countless individuals, families
and churches...without charge." |
|
|
|
Pacific Justice
Institute (PJI) is made up of a network of over a 1,000
volunteer affiliate attorneys nationwide. These volunteer
attorneys save PJI more than 90% of what cases normally would
cost. This savings allows PJI to take on many cases. PJI also
does not focus on just those cases that are likely to go to the
Supreme Court. While PJI is willing to take cases to the Supreme
Court, PJI has a unique commitment to provide legal counsel and
representation to everyone they feel falls within their mission.
PJI also works hard to maximize its resources by making sure its
case updates and newsletters are sent only when warranted. |

Mission
Statement:
Mobilizing the body of Christ to minister grace and truth to a
world impacted by homosexuality. |
|
|
|
Doctrinal
Statement:
We believe the
Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are the inspired Word Of
God, the final authority for doctrine, reproof, correction, and
instruction for right living. We believe in one God, existing
eternally in three Persons:Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We
believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, fully man and
fully God, only begotten Son of the Father. he was conceived by
the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and lived a sinless
life. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, buried
and rose physically from the dead. He ascended to the right hand
of the Father and will come again in power and glory.
We believe that faith
alone in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord frees us from the
mastery of sin, and its consequences of death and eternal
damnation. He assumed the penalty of death Himself, and enables
us to live out of His resurrected life unto eternity. We believe
the Holy Spirit carries out this work of renewal in our lives,
empowering us to grow in loving union with our Heavenly Father
and to walk in obedience to His will. We believe that the Church
of Jesus Christ is formed of all those who know Him as their
Savior and Lord, regardless of denominational beliefs. |

any aspect of education will profit from this enlightening and
easy-to-read book. |

"Unlike other
publications on this subject, Reclaim Your School actually equips
students for evangelism, not simply informing students of their
religious rights....The book is enormously encouraging for any
person wanting to make a difference in one of the greatest mission
fields in our country today, our public schools." |
