October 18, 2022 Dear Friends, Steve Scalise recently penned an op-ed, and he opened the writing asking the reader to consider if he or she is truly better off than two years ago. Citing the nation’s current problems, including a raging inflation, lack of southern border, and radical, far-left socialism creeping into every compartment of government, Congressman Steve Scalise writes about the Republicans’ playbook to fix President Biden’s mess. “We are ready to govern. We’re ready to show up to work, roll up our sleeves and deliver real results for the hardworking families of America. That is our commitment to you.” Read Scalise’s playbook here. | |
President Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services recently announced it would be giving $6 million in grants for “reproductive health” and “family planning services research.” $750,000 was given to the Guttmacher Institute, an organization affiliated with Planned Parenthood. The grant to Guttmacher will effectively be used to advance a pro-abortion agenda. | |
A bill proposed by a Virginia House of Delegates representative confirms that, yes, the radical left, pro-LGBT lobby is certainly coming for your children. The bill would expand the definition child abuse to include felony charges against any parent or guardian that “creates or inflicts, threatens to create or inflict, or allows to be created or inflicted upon such child a physical or mental injury on the basis of the child’s gender identity or sexual orientation.” (Emphasis added.) Clearly, the main issue with this language is the “mental injury” part. Simply put, a parent who merely upsets their child by not approving of transgender ideology could be charged with child abuse and lose custody of the child. The representative, Elizabeth Guzman, previously proposed the legislation but says she is considering reintroducing it. | |
Friend,, especially with these headlines, remember that “the Lord your God is he that goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory” (Deuteronomy 20:4). God is with us! Hold on to that hope! | |
