Capitol Hill Brief — Time to Stand Up
Leaders, prayer warriors, conservative women of all walks of life, it’s time for us to stand up and be heard. That’s why I wrote, Feisty & Feminine: A Rallying Cry for Conservative Women. I want to encourage you to find your voice and join the millions of women who, like you, want to honor […]
Penny Nance Calls on President Trump to Move Israel’s U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem
Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America, has joined her voice with those of other Christian leaders in calling on President Trump to “uphold American law by moving the U.S. Embassy to Israel’s eternal and indivisible capital city of Jerusalem.” In a letter dated May 16, 2017, Mrs. Nance and others remind […]
Capitol Hill Brief — The Trickle-Down Effect
The consequences of the overwhelming leftist ideology being pushed at our public universities are numerous. The trickle-down effect to lower educational institutions is a very troublesome one. You might have seen a recent viral video of assistant principal Zach Ruff at the prestigious Downingtown STEM Academy in Pennsylvania shouting down two teens who […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Anti-Israel Efforts
Do you know that a considerable share of the silencing efforts on college campuses have targeted Israelis and other supporters of Israel? Michael Oren, a distinguished historian who was famously shut down at University of California at Irvine. Moshe Halbertal, the world-renowned Israeli philosopher, was disrupted at the University of Minnesota. Israeli-Arab Bassem Eid […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Attacks on Religious Speech
We’ve been discussing the attacks on free speech in college campuses this week, but I want you to be aware that the attacks on religious speech are also on the rise. At Northern Arizona University, a student was recently accosted by a professor and faculty for his Christian conservative views. He was even chastised […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Join YWA in Prayer
You’ve probably heard of the shameful silencing of conservative voices in college campuses. Recent events include the violent shout down of author and scholar Charles Murray at Middlebury College, UC-Berkeley’s mistreatment of Anne Coulter (which is now the subject of a Free Speech lawsuit) and many more, like, Ben Shapiro and David Horowitz have […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Campus Free Speech
What is happening in America’s college campuses should be troubling for all of us. Not only is a radical liberal philosophy overwhelmingly predominant at most state universities, but now they’re trying to silence the few conservative voices that are invited to speak. Before conservative speakers can even address students at these schools, radical […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Happy Mother’s Day
As we get ready to celebrate Mother’s Day this coming Sunday, I want to invite you to join Concerned Women for America in prayer for a change of heart for our country — a shift away from the sin of abortion and towards a day when every life is embraced with joy, as a […]
Capitol Hill Brief — ObamaCare Gone
“If you like your plan, you can keep your plan,” they told us. But ObamaCare took health care out of the hands of patients and doctors and put it into the hands of Washington bureaucrats. Millions of Americans suddenly found themselves with cancelled plans and ever-increasing premiums. Not to mention the fact that it […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Support the New Health Care Bill
There’s a new President in town, and the atmosphere in Washington is tense. Especially as it relates to the debate to repeal and replace ObamaCare. President Trump is doing everything within his power to deliver on his big campaign promise of a full repeal of ObamaCare. The Democrats, for their part, are doing everything […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Planned Parenthood Unfit for Federal Dollars
Planned Parenthood should not receive federal dollars. First, it is the largest abortion provider in the country, performing over 300,000 abortions per year. But aside from that, fifty-one known audits of their affiliates’ billing procedures have shown almost $8.5 million in fraudulent Medicaid overpayments. These federal audits have detailed Planned Parenthood’s misuse of Medicaid […]
Capitol Hill Brief — New Health Care Bill Protects Life
Friends, the day has arrived! We are at the cusp of defunding Planned Parenthood and repealing big parts of ObamaCare, creating an environment for quality patient care for all Americans. The health care bill going through congress right now is not perfect, but it is a dramatic improvement on the ObamaCare disaster. And I […]
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 […]
