Capitol Hill Brief — Feisty and Feminine Workshops
I also want to take a moment and thank God and you, our thousands of Concerned Women for America supporters, for the support you gave my book, Feisty and Feminine, this year. I wrote it as a manual for conservative women to be equipped on the major topics of the day. We are stronger […]
Capitol Hill Brief — A Supreme Accomplishment
Perhaps at the top of our list for accomplishments this year is the confirmation of Justice Neil Gorsuch to the United States Supreme Court. God was so gracious to us! You have to remember that before the election, when the unexpected death of Justice Antonin Scalia was announced, Hillary Clinton was, without a doubt, […]
Capitol Hill Brief — 100 No More
We’re looking back at God’s many blessings for Concerned Women for America in 2017, and we cannot forget to thank God for his hand directing our 100 No More rallies around the country. One of the least known facts about the abortion industry and Planned Parenthood is its disturbing connection to population control and […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Pro-Life Victories
Friends, as the end of the year approaches, it gives us a chance to reflect on what the Lord has graciously allowed us to accomplish this year. On the pro-life front, we have seen many advances. With President Trump in the White House, one of the first things we were able to see through […]
Capitol Hill Brief — It’s Christmas
It’s Christmas Day! What a wonderful time to reflect on the birth of our Savior and God’s goodness. Scripture tells us that, “All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: ‘Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel’ (which means, […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Merry Christmas
What do we celebrate on Christmas? That, “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.” That we witnessed, “His glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” There’s no bigger truth for us as Christians. This is the good news we […]
Capitol Hill Brief — The Christmas Scene
There’s a poem by G.K. Chesterton which captures well the scene of that first Christmas: There fared a mother driven forth Out of an inn to roam; In the place where she was homeless All men are at home. The crazy stable close at hand, With shaking timber and shifting sand, Grew a stronger […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Most Wonderful Time
What joy is the Christmas season! The colors, the lights, the snow. It’s a time to gather with family and friends. But above all, it is a time to remember our Savior’s birth. One of my favorite things to help me remember are our old hymns, full of Scripture and beauty. “Hark the herald […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Still Busy
Friends, as we celebrate the Christmas season, I want to thank you for your support of Concerned Women for America. You make it possible for us to shine the light of Christmas on our nation’s public policy. Right now, CWA’s legal team is hard at work writing our brief on a very important pro-life, […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Christmas Week
As we look forward to celebrating Christmas this week, we also look back at the many blessings God has granted our nation. It was a cold, snowy Christmas Eve that George Washington’s miraculous crossing of the Delaware River changed the course of history. One colonel recalled how a “providential fog” saved him and his […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Living Up to the Calling
In his 1815 Thanksgiving Day proclamation, President James Madison wrote: “No people ought to feel greater obligations to celebrate the goodness of the Great Disposer of Events of the destiny of Nations than the people of the United States. … And to the same Divine Author of Every Good and Perfect Gift we are […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Give Thanks for Our Awesome God
Did you know we are the only country in the world that celebrates Thanksgiving? Though celebrated since the pilgrims, Thanksgiving wasn’t made an official holiday until 1863, when Abraham Lincoln instituted it as a way to heal the wounds of the nation after civil war. Many believed these wounds could never be healed, but […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Praise God for America
I love Thanksgiving! It makes me so happy to reflect on what I have instead of what I don’t — God’s goodness instead of the world’s sin. I am so thankful for my faith, my family, the members of Concerned Women for America, the many conservative women who came before us, and the amazing […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Grateful for America’s Foundations
Did you know that the same week Congress approved the First Amendment they requested President Washington to declare the First National Day of Thanksgiving and Prayer to Almighty God? “Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly […]
Capitol Hill Brief — God Reigns
It’s Thanksgiving week and my heart feels up with joy and song as I remember just one thing … God is still king! That means there’s hope. In the middle of the many difficulties we face personally, as a country, — even in the whole world — we can rest on His unwavering love. […]
President Trump Delivering on Judges
Washington, D.C. – President Donald J. Trump has just announced he is adding five more names (Judge Amy Barrett, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, Judge Kevin Newsome, Justice Britt Grant and Justice Patrick Wyrick) to his already solid list of possible United States Supreme Court Justices. Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America had this to […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Trump Administration’s Support for Israel
It’s been refreshing to witness the Trump Administration’s unabashed commitment to support Israel. And I’m so grateful I got to thank the president at a dinner. Their latest action involved withdrawing from UNESCO, citing their unquestionable anti-Israel bias. The U.S. owed $550 million to it, and it contributed annually about 70 million, which compromised […]
Capitol Hill Brief — U.N. Moves Against Israel
Believe it or not, the United Nations has earmarked millions of dollars for Palestinian efforts to pursue international legal action against Israel over the next several years. The U.N. said it “will also strengthen its own advocacy on the impact of Israeli violations.” Both President Donald Trump and U.N Ambassador Nikki Haley have shown […]
What happened when the left thought I would be joining the Trump Administration
A couple of years ago, while appearing on CNN with Van Jones, former Obama Administration Special Adviser for Green Energy, he shared something personal. In a moment of transparency, the Yale-educated lawyer said that the public smearing he received during his tenure as the Green Energy Czar “felt like someone ripped off [his] face and […]
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 […]
