Capitol Hill Brief — Making a Difference
I told you yesterday about Concerned Women for America’s unprecedented move to boycott Target after it ignored women’s safety concerns to appease transgender activists seeking to have men in women’s public bathrooms. What we did not get a chance to highlight is the fact that the boycott has worked! (And you thought you couldn’t […]
Capitol Hill Brief — CWA Targets Target
For over 30 years, Concerned Women for America did not join boycotts, opting to affect public policy changes through other avenues. That all change in 2016 when Target decided to disregard every mother’s concern for their young daughter’s safety and publicly bragged about opening their women’s restrooms to men. Our members where rightfully outraged […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Then, There’s North Carolina
You’ve probably heard of the absolute frenzy over North Carolina’s bathroom safety bill. Concerned Women for America state leaders where instrumental in passing the legislation to protect young women’s privacy. But the NCAA, the NBA, and a host of other business entities threatened and boycotted the state to appease LGBTQ radicals. The economic pressure […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Texas Bathroom Safety Bill
If you want to protect your family’s freedom and safety, join Concerned Women for America. Our members and state leaders are making a difference daily in their states. Our state director in Texas, for example, Dana Hodges, recently testified in favor of SB-6, a bathroom privacy bill that will protect women from the recent […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Florida Bathroom Bill
Concerned Women for America is a grassroots organization with members in all 50 states. That’s why we are uniquely positioned to stand up for religious liberty at every level — federal and state. Most attacks are, in fact, started at the state level. Take Florida’s “Competitive Workforce Act.” It seeks to add “sexual orientation” […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Join the Effort!
The situation for the Christian Church in the Middle East is not an easy problem with a simple solution. For us, it requires a change of heart that gets us closer to the compassion and mercy exhibited by our Lord. If we are to accomplish the mission He has given us, we must gain […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Gut-Check Moment
This is a gut-check moment for American Evangelicals. Our brothers and sisters in Egypt are being exterminated, and we cannot continue to be silent. For too long, we’ve been content to swill our lattes on Sunday morning while passively “experiencing” worship. Meanwhile, our Coptic Christian brothers and sisters risk being blown to bits to […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Big Problem, Bigger God
The targeting of Coptic Christians in Egypt is not a new problem. I wrote about it for Fox News in 2011 after the bombing of several churches in Alexandria. But since then, the attacks have continued to escalate. In 2014, the Islamic State took the town of Qaraqosh, in Iraq, forcing Christians to flee […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Spread the Word
As we continue in prayer our Christian brothers and sisters in Egypt this week, make a commitment to tell someone about their situation. Better yet, ask your pastor to join Concerned Women for America’s effort to set aside the fourth Sunday of each month to pray for the victims of Islamic terrorism. Here in […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Hurting with Those Who Hurt
Friends, I want to urge you this week to remember in prayer our Coptic Christian brothers and sisters in Egypt. You are probably aware of the latest terrorist attacks, right around Easter. Bombs in two churches in Alexandria and Tanta, Egypt, took the lives of 47, leaving numerous more injured. The situation is truly […]
Capitol Hill Brief — What’s at Stake
This week, we’ve been discussing the Trinity Lutheran v. Pauley religious liberty case that was argued at the Supreme Court by our friends at the Alliance Defending Freedom. Here why this is so important: there is no place in America for government to treat people of faith liked second-class citizens. A victory at the […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Strike it Down
Here is a fact for you. Out of the 44 nonprofits that applied for a playground surface government grant in Missouri, Trinity Lutheran’s application was ranked #5. Yet, the school was denied solely because it was run by a church. That’s what religious discrimination looks like. And it was the case the Supreme Court […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Fair Play
Today, Concerned Women for America is in front of the Supreme Court, standing for your religious freedoms. We are rallying as justices hear Trinity Lutheran v. Pauley, a religious liberty case being handled by our friends at the Alliance Defending Freedom. As I told you yesterday, this is a case where a religious preschool […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Religious Discrimination
Yesterday, I told you about a very important case before the Supreme Court. Trinity Lutheran v. Pauley is the only religious freedom case before the high court this term. It is a case about a religious preschool that was rejected from a state program that provided reimbursement grants to purchase rubberized surface material for children’s […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Into the Lion’s Den
Now that Judge Neil Gorsuch has been officially confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court, he must be ready to consider some very important cases. None more important than one he will here this very week: Trinity Lutheran v. Pauley. This is a very important religious freedom case where the government discriminated against a school, and […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Easter
As we celebrate Easter this Sunday, I want to leave you with the words of Jesus in John 12, where He said: The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains alone; but […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Our Only Hope
Concerned Women for America is first of all a Christian organization. We will never apologize for that! We are “not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes…” CWA believes that God’s ways are best. This week, as we remember the sacrifice of our Lord […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Christians Need Not Apply?
As we reflect on the fight for the confirmation of Justice Neil Gorsuch, I want you to consider the impact we have when we work together. The political climate in Washington has become toxic, and Christian voices are needed now more than ever. The radical left has become so vicious in their ideology that, […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Thank You!
Yesterday was a bright and sunny, joyful day as I was able to witness the swearing in of Justice Neil Gorsuch in the White House Rose Garden. I have already thanked you, our Concerned Women for America members, for all you did to support his nomination. But we must also pause and thank President […]
From Judge to Justice: Gorsuch Confirmed with Bipartisan Support
Washington, D.C. –Today, Judge Gorsuch, soon-to-be Justice Gorsuch, was confirmed 54-45 to be the next Associate Supreme Court Justice of the United States with bi-partisan support.
