And the Hello and welcome to the corporate casket a bi-weekly series where bad businesses go to die.

We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide.

I'm the Illuminati and today we're going to be talking about Michael Ferris, the CEO of the ADF or Alliance

defending freedom.

You might know him as the lawyer that defended a baker

I'm going to try and remain as unbiased as possible, try to focus on the facts here, and then form an opinion based off what we've found.

Again, I don't want anyone seeing this as me just presenting both sides and then not really saying anything. But with that out of the way, let's start talking about the history of both Michael Ferris and then the ADF itself. Let's get into it. There are people that want to severely curtail the freedom that we want. You know, there's a few states where some improvement of freedom is

necessary and every state you got to make sure that the freedom is

implemented correctly the way that the freedom has been won, because there will be people

who will always try to do all that.
