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.

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 […]

Remind Gov. Bruce Rauner of His Pledge To Veto Tax-Payer Funded Abortions. Coinciding with yesterday’s Illinois Women’s March on Springfield for a “progressive agenda”, the Democratic-controlled Illinois House passed HB 40, approving public funding of all abortions.

Capitol Hill Brief — Spread the Word

  As we continue in prayer our Christian brothers and sisters in Egypt this week, make a commitment to tell someone about their situation.  Better yet, ask your pastor to join Concerned Women for America’s effort to set aside the fourth Sunday of each month to pray for the victims of Islamic terrorism. Here in […]
