Who We Are

Restore Freedom with Katherine Henry began as a joint effort between the Katherine Henry PC law firm and the Restore Freedom Initiative ballot question committee. Katherine Henry, Constitutional Attorney, founded the law firm in 2008, and the Restore Freedom Initiative in May of 2020.

Restore Freedom Initiative

The Restore Freedom Initiative was a proposal to amend the Michigan state constitution to: rein back in government power; prevent future abuses of power by the governor, legislature and courts (even in times of crisis, war or emergency); and restore Michigan to a government of the people, by the people, and for the people (as REQUIRED by our US Constitution). Katherine Henry is the founder of the Restore Freedom Initiative and the owner and lead attorney of Katherine Henry PC. This petition effort grew into an organization with thousands of volunteers and hundreds of thousands of active supporters. Our signature gathering efforts are completed, but our fight for freedom is not.

Mike

Mike Henry is Katherine’s husband. He describes himself as a Christian, husband, dad, and Machinist. He works full time as a machinist, working on various machines like CNC and Wire-Burning. He’s a small town kind of guy, with an independent, keep-to-himself personality. He values truth, facts and the constitution over agenda, politics and party. Mike knows that the war is lost if the local battles are ignored. As for college, he says “no thanks, I’ve got work to do.” But, he is always learning and making himself more competent in advanced machining techniques and the tool building trades. And, of course, he’s always learning more about freedom and the constitution from his wonderful wife Katherine.

Why so little about Mike included here? We’re just lucky he gave us this much to include on the website!

When he’s not at work or remodeling their house, Mike is contributing daily to our fight for freedom. Mike works on the website and tech side of things, proofreads the many documents Katherine drafts (legal briefs, constitutional information sheets, etc.), helps with the design and marketing of Restore Freedom, helps with the live videos, helps Katherine mail out the Restore Freedom goodie orders, fixes all internet and printing issues, shares Restore Freedom business cards and info with everyone he meets, and assists Katherine, Bruce and Lori with countless other tasks in this ongoing fight for freedom.

Lori

Lori DeVries is the volunteer Administrative Assistant for Restore Freedom with Katherine Henry, PC. In this capacity she answers the phone, posts on social media, helps with video streams, assists in managing Katherine’s events and whatever else is needed.

Lori joined this fight for freedom on behalf of God’s children, especially the little ones that aren’t able to stand for themselves. “I’m doing it for the children; THEY are the future!” As a single mom, she spent a majority of her adult life trying to make ends meet and raise her son with good morals and values. Her experience in raising her son alone and her other struggles in life has prepared her for a time such as this. Historically, Lori’s work experience consists of customer service, medical insurance billing, medical and legal transcription, banking call center and the food service industry. Experience with chaos, manipulation and drama in the workplace, and in life, has helped Lori learn ways to handle the gas-lighting and pressures from man. And as her son grew up and left home, Lori felt God calling her closer to Him. So, now, as she navigates this fight for freedom, she strives to reflect Him in her actions and words.

Her favorite Bible verse is Psalm 119:105 KJV “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”

Others

Since the inception of Restore Freedom, our amazing team of volunteer freedom fighters has been comprised of Michiganders young and old, out of work employees and busy business owners, men and women, and people of every political persuasion – all desiring to do their part in restoring our God-given liberties protected by our Constitution. We couldn’t have done any of this without each of them, but especially Bruce Reed (Katherine’s Dad), Brian Bode, Paul Parnofiello, Joe Moss, Rachel Atwood, Laci Alexander, Amy & Scott Ardner, Ashly Hancock, Frank Plodzik, Anna Silverthorn, Mary Rackovich, Rachel Weaver, Joie Vawter, Rick Davies, Colette Hatinger and Tammy Vrosh. In addition to the countless hours of work these individuals put in, their participation in daily zoom meetings, in person meetings, prayers, and their generous hospitality was also vital to what we’ve been able to accomplish so far.
