Dear friends, supporters, and champions of free speech,

My name is Dalton Eatherly, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart, fighting to protect my family and my business. Just over one year ago, I started DLE Contracting in Clarksville, TN out of sheer necessity. I was fired from my previous contracting job after BLM activists targeted me over words I shared online—jokes and opinions they twisted to end my career. With no other way to support my family and my precious 2-year-old son, I poured everything into this small business working tirelessly to provide for my family and build a future.

But now, that dream is under attack. Not for the quality of my work, but for what I say online. I’ve shared mild jokes, unfiltered thoughts, and yes, sometimes I’ve used the N-word in what I thought was edgy, harmless humor. I know it’s controversial, but it’s my right to speak freely. For that, hundreds of people in my city are slandering my business, spreading lies to tear down everything I’ve worked for. The hate has escalated to a horrifying level: I’ve received death threats so vile they shake me to my core. People threatening to rape and murder me, and even targeting my innocent 2-year-old son with unspeakable cruelty. As a father, hearing these threats against my little boy breaks my heart and keeps me up at night.

In the midst of this nightmare, a spark of hope emerged: I went viral on Instagram, gaining over 23,000 followers who connect with my story, my resilience, and my refusal to be silenced. People are beginning to stand up for American ideals and values. This platform is a chance to turn things around, but right now, I’m broke. The slander has crushed my business’s income, and I’m struggling to keep food on the table, pay our bills, and protect my family from this onslaught. I need your help to bridge this gap and rebuild.

Your donation will go toward:

• Covering basic living expenses to keep my family secure.

• Exploring legal options to fight the slander and protect my family from these vicious threats.

•Find new ways to create a sustainable income for me and my family.

This isn’t just about money—it’s about standing up to a mob trying to destroy not just my family’s future over words, but our rights to free speech as a whole. If you’ve ever felt silenced, attacked, or punished for your beliefs, you know this fight. My business, only a year old, was born from necessity after I was canceled once before, and now I’m facing it again. With your support, I can rise above this hate, provide for my family, and prove that cancel culture won’t break us.

Every dollar, every share, every prayer means the world to us. Thank you for standing with my family in this battle for freedom and survival.

With gratitude,

Dalton Eatherly
