CWA at White House Opioid Summit

Today I sat in the East Wing of the White House with eyes full of tears as a father shared the story of his son who he lost to an opioid addiction. He thanked the President and First Lady for the opportunity to be there and share his story – “I’m amazed that my journey […]

Another Hard-fought Victory This Week – Sex Trafficking

This week the House passed a sex trafficking bill (H.R. 1865) that would allow state attorneys general and victims to sue websites that knowingly facilitate sex trafficking. This bill was created to target sites like Backpage.com, which is currently under Senate investigation because of the hosting of ads that promoted the trafficking of minors. The legislation […]

CWA’s Senior Advisor for Foreign Affairs Addresses Christianity in Iraq

In America, we trace our Christian heritage to before the founding of our nation, when European Christians sought a home free from religious persecution where they could practice their faith according to their own convictions.  But in the Middle Eastern country of Iraq, Christianity has very old roots stemming from the 1st century A.D., even […]

Phony Liberal Outrage on Full Display

Liberals are in disarray. They are only united in their hatred of Trump, but little else. And it is showing regularly in Congress these days. Just a few days ago, after President Trump presented a consensus budget deal, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-California) broke into a tantrum on the House floor, staging a record-breaking, […]

Be Your Valentine

It’s that time of year again, with grossly overpriced roses, chocolates, gift certificates to everything from day spas to fancy restaurants — Happy Valentine’s Day! Of course, it’s only happy if you’ve got that special someone, or if you’re part of the burgeoning movement of young singles who celebrate with their other single friends. But […]

Pray for our Press

The mainstream media suicide continues. It is incredibly sad to watch. It is extremely troubling, especially when you think about the role and purpose it is supposed to serve. This weekend’s coverage of North Korea by many outlets was simply disgraceful. It is now a proven, tangible, quantifiable, irrefutable fact that you cannot trust the […]

CWA in the Budget Battle

The house and senate again failed to agree on spending language by the midnight deadline, therefore shutting down the government for a few hours overnight. President Trump signed the continuing resolution into law a few hours later, but the spending battle is far from over. This spending bill was paired with defense spending and a […]

You’ve Gotta Love Gerber

No, I’m not a paid spokesperson for Gerber. However, in case you haven’t heard, Gerber chose one-year-old Lucas Warren from Dalton, Georgia, as its 2018 Gerber baby.  What’s so special about that? Lucas is the first child with Down syndrome to be chosen. Well done, Gerber! Whether they know it or not, Gerber is showing […]

CWA at Walk for Life West Coast

Obama-Era State Department Leftovers: Re-direct LGBTI Cultural Acceptance Funding

In the beginning, God made man and woman in His own likeness—two distinct sexes each with unique and special characteristics—and declared His creation “good”. Who could have anticipated that this God-given and inherent identity of gender and sex would be so debated, twisted, and redefined by the liberal left today? Even more incredible is that […]

CWA Hard at Work on the Pain Capable Bill

On Monday, January 29, the Senate failed to pass the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. This legislation, sometimes referred to as the 20 Week Ban, protects unborn children nationwide after 20 weeks’ gestation based on the scientific fact that an unborn child can feel pain in utero. This legislation also protects women who face a […]

How Did Your Senator Vote on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act?

As you are probably aware, S. 2311, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, failed to overcome a filibuster in the U.S. Senate last week. The vote was 51-46. Sixty votes were needed to overcome the filibuster. This simple, straightforward bill would prohibit abortions after 20 weeks past conception when science suggests babies start to feel […]

President Trump Allows Americans to Shine Among Ugly Democrat Partisanship

President Donald Trump was masterful last night in his State of the Union Address. He was humble. He stood to the side, so to speak, even as he was emphatic about his first-year accomplishments and allowed Americans to shine. The stories he presented, the people he highlighted, the families he honored were the story of […]

A Better Approach to the State of the Union

It has been remarkable to see the level of disdain aimed at President Trump. It is not normal. It seems unwarranted — even unjust. Disagreement with his policies, or the way he expressed himself at one point or another, or the way he conducted himself in any situation I can understand. But this foaming at the […]

CWA State Organizations are hard at work

January has brought a new year, and state legislatures across the country have started to convene. The 2018 sessions have already presented new challenges to the Biblical principles we value, but our state directors are already working diligently and strategically. Specifically, CWA of Georgia, California, and Maine have taken strong positions on several important bills […]
