Capitol Hill Brief — Broken Confirmation Process

  The rate of confirmations for President Trump’s judicial nominees leaves much to be desired. Senate leadership is doing everything it can to get the nominees through the process, but Democrats are using every tactic available to obstruct these well-qualified nominees.  Some have stoop so low as to object to a nominee’s Christian faith. Here […]

Shalane Flanagan was virtually unknown outside of the elite running world until yesterday, when she won the New York City Marathon, the first American woman to do so in the women’s competition since the late 1970s.

Capitol Hill Brief — On Christian Dogma

It calls us to love others […]

Please Tell Me You Are Not Trying to Get Rid of the Adoption Tax Credit

Getting rid of the adoption tax credit is a bad idea.  Trying to do so during National Adoption Month is just unthinkable. But that is exactly what the GOP is considering as they debate tax reform.

Even the media can’t deny the numbers

CWA is committed to fighting for life and will never back down or be intimidated by big-money organizations such as Planned Parenthood. The fight to shift our hard earned tax dollars (half a billion to be exact!) from Planned Parenthood to Federally Qualified Health Clinics is as much a PR battle as it is a […]
