Capitol Hill Brief — The Power of Unity
A couple of weeks ago, I had the privilege of dining with the president at the White House, alongside a small group of conservative leaders. It was a great opportunity to make your voice heard at the highest levels of government. You can rest assured I spoke to him about all our concerns and […]

We recently […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Who Fights Our Battles?
I’ve told you this week that Concerned Women for America submitted just last week an important legal brief before the U.S. Supreme Court in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission. This is the case of the Christian baker being forced to design a custom-made wedding cake for a same-sex wedding — in violation […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Free Speech
Here’s the second constitutional violation by the government in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, the Supreme Court case we’ve been highlighting this week. Again, this case involves a Christian baker that is being forced to design a custom-made wedding cake for a same-sex wedding celebration in violation of his deeply held religious […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Free Exercise
The government’s action in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, the Supreme Court case we’ve been highlighting this week, violates two provisions of the First Amendment. This is the case where a Christian baker is being forced to design a custom-made wedding cake for a same-sex wedding celebration in violation of his deeply […]
Capitol Hill Brief — What You Didn’t Know
I told you yesterday that the next step in the efforts to marginalize Christian beliefs has reached the U.S. Supreme Court. The case is Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission. You know the pattern, a Christian baker is, once again, being forced under threat of law to use his artistic talents to help […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Supreme Court Brief
Last week, Concerned Women for America submitted an amicus brief (which is just a fancy way of saying a “friend-of-the-court” brief) in a very important First Amendment case before the U.S. Supreme Court. The name is Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission. This is the case where a Christian baker is being forced […]
Capitol Hill Brief — American Perseverance
Though many people are not aware of it, strong women of God were also part of America’s founding. One of my favorites was Abigail Adams. Her letters to her husband John are a national treasure. After the 1775 burning of Charlestown and the Battle of Bunker Hill, she wrote to him: The race is […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Back to Basics
One of my heroes, Frederick Douglas, said: I have one great political idea … That idea is an old one. It is widely and generally assented to; nevertheless, it is very generally trampled upon and disregarded. The best expression of it, I have found in the Bible. It is in substance, “Righteousness exalteth a […]
Capitol Hill Brief — The Gift of Liberty
Where does liberty come from? Think slowly and carefully about it. The answer has far-reaching implications for our relationship to government. There is a quote inscribed on the wall at the Jefferson Memorial here in Washington, D.C., that always stirs my heart and helps me reflect on the issue. Thomas Jefferson said: God who […]
Capitol Hill Brief — The Value of Life
Friends, hear me loud and clear. Every child (every person) has intrinsic value as created in the image of GOD. Can you stop and consider that? Every person you meet stands as a monument to Almighty GOD. How can we disregard any, because of race or creed or nationality or, as we’ve highlighted this […]
Capitol Hill Brief — A Worldwide Problem
All week, we’ve been highlighting the heartbreaking news that close to 100 percent of babies diagnosed with Down syndrome in Iceland are aborted. But this tragedy is not just a problem for Iceland. It’s a worldwide issue, as the report acknowledges: “Other countries aren’t lagging too far behind in Down syndrome termination rates. According […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Aborted Under Suspicion of Down Syndrome
Listen to this. The CBS News report we’ve been highlighting this week — which lauded the fact that Iceland was close to eradicating Down syndrome by aborting most babies that could potentially have it, acknowledge that “Many people born with Down syndrome can live full and healthy lives …” and that “The screening test […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Parental Screening Tests
CBS News recently lauded Iceland for being close to eradicating Down syndrome. Only the truth is they are “eradicating it” by aborting Down syndrome babies! Here is how the news story started: “With the rise of prenatal screening tests across Europe and the United States, the number of babies born with Down syndrome has significantly decreased, […]
Capitol Hill Brief — CBS News’ Warped View of Life
My heart broke as I read a despicable CBS News clip last week, highlighting (almost cheering) that Iceland is “close to eradicating Down syndrome.” You and I would cheer too, had they found a cure. But the total opposite is true. Iceland is not eradicating Down syndrome, as the horrid report says; they’re exterminating […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness
All week I have been warning you about the dangers of socialized medicine with its devaluing of human life. We saw it firsthand in the case of baby Charlie Gard and his parents, who were prevented from doing everything in their power to save their son’s life. It would have been futile in the […]
