RALEIGH, NC – Liberty Counsel sent a demand letter to the Raleigh Police Department on behalf of Gospel of God Ministries which has been improperly restricted in its evangelistic speech and activities at public festivals around the city. The letter, addressed to Raleigh Police Chief Rico Boyce, states that city police officers repeatedly ordered Christian evangelist Tommy Waltz and other ministry members to stop preaching, turn off its sound system, and leave public streets and sidewalks during several public events, including the Brewgaloo North Carolina Craft Beer Festival, the Packapalooza Festival, the North Carolina State Fair, and the Bluegrass Festival.
