“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” Edmund Burke

Reminder:
Congress is in recess until September 10. This means your members are home and in your “backyard.”Nothing is more fun in the summertime than a backyard grill. So contact your Members of Congress, tell them your concerns, and hold them accountable for their actions here in Washington, D.C.

Act Now:

With the recent shooting at the Family Research Council, this week is a reminder that your prayers are needed here in Washington, D.C. While groups like Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) work on your behalf, we require “back-up.” Everyone knows the best defense is a good offense, so we ask that you pray for the safety and efforts of CWALAC staff as we work here in D.C. and around the nation.
