Failed Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore is asking supporters to donate to his legal defense fund in order that truth will "prevail against the unholy forces of evil."

In a message posted to Facebook, Moore indicated he'd raised $32,235 out of a goal of $250,000 for the fund, which was established to help the former Alabama chief justice fight a lawsuit filed by Leigh Corfman, one of the women who said Moore had sexual contact with her when she was a teenager. Corfman filed a defamation suit after the election, claiming Moore and his campaign defamed her by saying she was a liar and immoral.

Moore, who denies the allegations, has asked the judge to dismiss Corfman's suit over issues on where it was filed.

In his message, Moore said the legal defense funds is needed to fight "over $50 million dollars from Washington insiders who did not want me to bring the truth about God and our Constitution to Washington D. C."

"I have lawyers who want to help but they are not without cost and besides their fees, legal expenses could run over $100,000," Moore wrote to supporters. "The liberal media, in association with some who want to destroy our country do not want my influence in the 2018 elections and are doing everything they can to stop me.

"Gays, lesbians, and transgenders have joined forces with those who believe in abortion, sodomy, and destruction of all that we hold dear. Unless we stand together we will lose our country," he added.

The Facebook post is linked to a page where people can donate anywhere from $25 to $10,000. Contributions to the Legal Defense Fund are not subject to FEC contribution limitations or restrictions, the site notes.

'Resources depleted'

Moore said the allegations and the election have "taken a toll on my wife, my children, and even my friends.

"My resources have been depleted and I have struggled to make ends meet, but I have not lost my faith in our God, who is our true source of strength and will never leave or forsake us," he said.

Moore lost the December 2017 election to Doug Jones, who became the first Democratic Senator from Alabama in more than two decades. Just days before the election, the Employees' Retirement System Board of Control approved Moore's annual pension of $135,845 for his time as Chief Justice.

Here is Moore's letter to supporters

"First, I wanted to write you to say thank you most sincerely for your support and prayers for my campaign for the U. S. Senate. Your financial contributions helped me fight over $50 million dollars from Washington insiders who did not want me to bring the truth about God and our Constitution to Washington D. C.

I have no regrets! Together we fought the good fight, we finished our course, and we have kept the faith. And we do not intend to quit! The future of our children and grandchildren is at stake.

I now face another vicious attack from lawyers in Washington D. C. and San Francisco who have hired one of the biggest firms in Birmingham Alabama to bring another legal action against me and ensure that I never fight again.

However, I will trust God that he will allow truth to prevail against the unholy forces of evil behind their attack.

I have lawyers who want to help but they are not without cost and besides their fees, legal expenses could run over $100,000. I have had to establish a "legal defense fund, anything you give will be appreciated.

The liberal media, in association with some who want to destroy our Country do not want my influence in the 2018 elections and are doing everything they can to stop me.

Gays, lesbians, and transgenders have joined forces with those who believe in abortion, sodomy, and destruction of all that we hold dear. Unless we stand together we will lose our Country.

Christians can no longer afford to remain silent in these "perilous" times. For we know that in such time men shall be come lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God.

We must fight, an appeal to the God of Heaven is all that is left us!

Please help me fight this battle for the heart and soul of this Nation. Your financial contribution to my legal defense fund is crucial.

After over 40 years of public service I cannot back down now.

When I stood to bring these values and truths to Washington D. C. I was forced to fight the Washington establishment, the Republican Party, the Democrat Party, the ultra-liberal media and people such as George Soros, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and many others who fear the truth.

I'm sure that you cannot imagine how this has taken a toll on my wife, my children, and even my friends.

My resources have been depleted and I have struggled to make ends meet, but I have not lost my faith in our God, who is our true source of strength and will never leave or forsake us.

I am truly thankful for your support, your cards, letters and words of encouragement.

As I was writing this letter, a young lady handed me a note from her brother, Steven and a cash contribution of $84.

This is what Steven wrote:

"I read your book and am currently reading your court opinion on gay marriage. Sir, you are an American hero. You have inspired me. I won't forget the poems of yours that I've read or the stands you've made against those trying to disfigure our Country and its heritage. I and so many others are with you, sir, and will help in any way to defend your character."

Steven's $84 will be deposited in my defense fund as he wished, and his words of encouragement will continually remind me of others who have expressed similar sentiments.

I do not profess to be a hero, but I will not forget so many who have paid the ultimate sacrifice to preserve this land and our form of government, with which we have been truly blessed.

Thank you in advance for anything you can give to help me in my defense, and if you can't give, I would appreciate your prayers and moral support.

May God bless you!

Sincerely,

Judge Roy Moore

P.S. The political Left is filled with men and women whose sole aim in life is to overthrow our God-ordained rights which are guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution. It is your responsibility and mine to stand up to this vile encroachment on our rights, and defend that for which the Founding Fathers sacrificed so greatly. Please send a generous gift today to the Roy Moore Legal Defense Fund to help me defeat, once and for all, those who would destroy America in order to usher in their anti-Christian "kingdom." May the Lord richly bless you as you stand with me in this critical fight!"
