Dear Friends,

We’re almost there! Many of you have given sacrificially, and through December 31st these donations will be doubled up to $260,000 through the generosity of amazing supporters who agree with the work being done at Illinois Family Institute (IFI). I can’t tell you how grateful we are to know that you are willing to stand with us. Thank you!

We are closing in on our goal, but we are not there yet. We need your help if we hope to reach it.

With a deadline of midnight tonight, we still need to raise a little more than $60,000 to reach our goal!

If you haven’t made your tax-deductible, end-of-year donation to the only full-time, pro-family group in Illinois, there’s still time! No gift is too small! These last days of the year are extremely important for IFI as our budget depends on receiving a significant portion of our support by December 31st.

The support our media and state government give to anti-family forces in Illinois is outrageous, but things can get worse. Left-wing activists have plans to advance new ways to facilitate abortion, to celebrate and promote sexual deviance, and to grow a tyrannical government. You can be certain the media and the state government won’t be shilling for IFI the way they do for their own favored causes. Protecting life, marriage, religious liberty, and the traditional family in Illinois are not “politically correct” causes. In fact, the support of our state’s elite institutions is what helps keep the attack on the family going.

The only thing keeping IFI going is you! Thanks to you, we will expose and bring the fight to Illinois’ anti-family forces. Thanks to you, we can still succeed in 2022’s End-of-Year Matching Challenge. And thanks to you–if everyone receiving this message sends a donation–I believe we can make that success happen today.

Online credit card contributions before 12:00 midnight TONIGHT, December 31, will count as a contribution for 2022. Checks mailed today will also count toward our Matching Challenge goal.

I will let you know next week if we met our goal. Thank you so much, and may God bless you for your support.

Please contribute to IFI by December 31st. When you do, you’ll help us start strong in the new year. Here are some ways you can give your tax-deductible donation:

• Contribute online HERE.
• Give a gift of stock or appreciated assets. Contact Colleen Garcia, IFI’s Financial Administrator, at (708) 781-9328 or email her HERE.
• Mail your year-end gift by December 31st. Send to: Illinois Family Institute, P.O. Box 876, Tinley Park, IL, 60477
• We also accept credit card donations over the phone at (708) 781-9328.

Thank you for considering our appeal. Your financial support and prayers are what makes our mission to protect and preserve life, marriage, family, and liberty in Illinois possible.

THANK YOU FOR STANDING WITH US!

Sincerely,

David E. Smith
Executive Director

I am excited to share some good news with you regarding the $260,000 matching challenge we wrote about two weeks ago. The response to this challenge has been slower than in years past, but we are making progress toward meeting the goal before we hit midnight on Saturday evening.

Thanks to the generosity of our support we have raised close to 60 percent of our goal thus far. We still need to raise approximately $100,000 over the next two days in order to realize the full matching challenge.

Any donation given or mailed by December 31st will go toward this matching challenge.

With your ongoing partnership, we will continue to be a voice for pro-life, pro-family Illinoisans, and to be a light to our leaders, witnessing to the truth and power of the Gospel with our words and actions. In 2023, that work will be more crucial than ever. Your year-end gift ensures that we can fulfill our mission in 2023. Your $100 gift becomes $200, a $500 gift becomes $1,000, and so on, thanks to our End-of-Year Matching Challenge.

Will you stand with us in 2023 and double the impact of your donation today?

We need your prayer covering and financial support!

As you consider how you can support IFI at this critical time of the year, ask yourself,

What would Illinois look like without the Illinois Family Institute pushing back hard against the ideology and efforts of Leftists?

What would the state look like if IFI were not here to alert, equip, and encourage Illinoisans and their families?

Please help us with a financial gift today so that we can start next year strong. It is only through your support that we are able to work tirelessly to promote pro-family views.

With your prayers and support, IFI will continue to speak unashamedly and unequivocally about the fundamental truths concerning life, marriage, faith, freedom, decency, and the natural family.

Illinois Family Institute is needed now more than ever.

We are your voice in the public square!

Here are some ways you can give your tax-deductible donation:

• Contribute online HERE.
• Give a gift of stock or appreciated assets. Contact Colleen Garcia, IFI’s Financial Administrator, at (708) 781-9328 or email her HERE.
• Mail your year-end gift. Send to: Illinois Family Institute, P.O. Box 876, Tinley Park, IL 60477

David E. Smith
Executive Director

P.S. Donations must be postmarked by December 31 in order to qualify as 2022 gifts. Now, more than ever, your gift will help us uphold the legacy left by the faithful generations that preceded us.

Don’t delay, please donate today!

We sincerely hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving with your family, friends, and neighbors. We’re back in action at Illinois Family Institute after enjoying a restful holiday break with our loved ones; so very thankful to God Almighty for His many blessings. But our gratefulness certainly shouldn’t end (or begin) with the fourth Thursday in November!

As we resume our work, I don’t have to tell you that there’s an all-out war on the right to life, marriage, biology, common sense, and our children. And when I look at the latest political headlines in Illinois, I get concerned about what 2023 will hold for the pro-life, pro-family, pro-freedom movement. Both in Illinois and nationally we will have an uphill climb. But together, we can accomplish much!

Let’s be clear: our concern isn’t centrally about politics. Like you, we care about the moral and social issues:

>>>Sanctity of Life: the tens of thousands of abortions that take place annually in Illinois is both outrageous and heartbreaking. Abortion cheerleaders are working to facilitate tens of thousands more since the Dobbs ruling earlier this year.

>>>Religious Intolerance/Christian Bigotry: the ongoing battle to remove our First Amendment freedoms to live by our consciences and practice and share our faith.

>>>Identity Politics and Sexual Anarchy: truly the Leftists have gone too far. No clear-thinking person believes there are 63 genders. This, however, has created an opportunity for those of us defending marriage and family to gain back ground in the culture.

>>>Big government on the backs of working families: the continuous tax increases lawmakers think will fix their reckless and irresponsible spending is never the answer.

Today,  I invite you to take part in an effort to stand for Truth in the public square by supporting the Illinois Family Institute, which works  diligently to defend traditional values and expose lies. It is a wonderful opportunity to help protect children, families, and religious freedom.

As we wrap up the days following Thanksgiving 2022, I ask you to prayerfully consider giving #4Families on #GivingTuesday.

Maybe its $25, maybe its $50, maybe its $100 or even more if God leads. Whatever the amount, we are thankful for your support and encouragement.

IFI is the leading organization in Illinois advocating for your family, for your faith, and for our collective and individual freedoms at the Capitol in Springfield and in the public square. And without your partnership in this mission, we can’t get the job done.

Thank you for standing with us!

There are dozens of great pro-life films and documentaries that have been produced over the past several decades, but there is a new one out that we want to make sure is on your “must watch” list. It is called “The Matter of Life,” and it is a powerful and informative documentary about abortion in the United States. In fact, we think it is so important that we are hosting free showings of this film in various locations throughout the state, with the hope that it will initiate other church and private showings. This will include a time for Q & A after the film ends.

The Matter of Life is a wakeup call and a call-to-action. While we praise God for the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, here in Illinois the pro-life advocacy MUST intensify to meet the abortion industry’s expansion and plans to make the Land of Lincoln an abortion destination point.

This documentary, with the help of experts, personal accounts, and plentiful visual aids, this documentary explores the political, spiritual, emotional, and physical aspects of abortion. Watch the trailer, and plan to join us at one of the locations listed below:

“This powerful documentary is edifying and enlightening to understand the Truth of abortion.
Whether you are pro-life or not, please take time to watch this film,
which is recommended for ages 14 years and up.”
~Ricki Giersch, 40 Days for Life Leader in Aurora

Don’t Forget to Vote Today!

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Citizens across the state of Illinois will be casting their votes in today’s General Election. Pro-family candidates need your vote. Therefore, Values Voters must stand up and be counted. Our voice in this election – and in every election – is critical.  So, if you haven’t already voted in this election cycle, please make sure you get to the polls today!

Research the candidates: IFI’s 2022 nonpartisan Voter Guide provides valuable information about where candidates stand on issues related to sanctity of life, parental rights, school issues, and more.

Call your friends, family members, neighbors and remind them to vote. Take someone to the polls with you.

AMENDMENT 1 

The so-called “Worker’s Rights” Amendment on the ballot will amend the Illinois Constitution by tremendously increasing the power of government public sector union bosses and increasing property taxes by an average of $2,100 per year. Click HERE,  HERE, HERE, HERE,  HERE to understand what it means for Illinois and why we urge a NO vote.

PRAY 

Please keep this election day in prayer – humbly asking our Heavenly Father’s blessings on those who are currently in leadership and for those who are seeking positions of leadership in the state, local, and national levels (1 Timothy 2:1-4). Pray that victorious candidates would honor and fear God, be men and women of integrity, and that they would love truth and justice.

Pray that Christians across the state would get out and vote wisely. Pray for integrity at the polls so that legitimate votes are not cancelled out by voter fraud. Pray for God’s will in this election, and His mercy on our state and nation.

If you have not already reviewed our election resources page, please take a few minutes to study it before you vote.

As you know the polls are open from 6 AM to 7 PM. In some parts of the state, the ballot may be very lengthy and lines may form quickly, so you may want to arrive at the polls earlier than you usually do.

Finally, I leave you with this quote:

“Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual – or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country.” ~Samuel Adams

Thank you for participating in our on-going experiment of self-government!

May God Bless America,

David E. Smith
Illinois Family Institute

Written by Pastor Myles Holmes, REVIVE Church in Collinsville

All believers are called to pray at all times and in all situations.

We are to pray without ceasing.

Jesus taught us to pray for His Kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth just as it is in Heaven.

The prophet Samuel said to the people of Israel, “…far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you.”  1 Samuel 12:23

In Luke 18:1 Jesus told us we … “should always pray and never give up.” 

In Jeremiah 29:7, the people of God were told to pray to the Lord for the Babylonian city while they were in captivity…”for its welfare will determine your welfare.” 

American believers in Jesus have a great responsibility to pray, and fast and pray, as this nation was founded on Godly principles and is drifting far from those moorings.

God’s Word and God’s truth is being mocked, scorned, ignored and disobeyed in Washington, DC and in Springfield, IL. 

Truth lies fallen in the streets (Isaiah 55: 14). We now have leadership in our state and our nation who do not know what a baby is, do not know what gender is, do not know what a marriage means, do not know what a border or an economy is, and have absolutely no grounding in any semblance of reality or decency or morality, let alone truth. 

We must fervently pray for an awakening to truth, a revelation of conviction and repentance that can only come from a mighty sweeping of the Holy Spirit through our culture.

We must fervently pray for our churches and pastors to boldly rebuke the wickedness and the darkness and proclaim the good news of the Gospel and the light of God’s truth.

At the very moment that our culture, politicians and media are shouting their love and embrace of every kind of evil and debauchery is precisely the time the church is told to be silent about all these issues.

May God in His mercy deliver us from timid preachers and quiet pulpits.

We must fervently pray for families, and for marriages to demonstrate the grace and the goodness of God.

We must fervently pray for these elections on November 8, both for our state and our nation, that Americans would realize the absolute necessity of voting for individuals who represent Godly, moral, righteous values, who support life and liberty, the U.S. Constitution, freedom of speech and freedom of religion. 

Pray with me now.  

“Our Father in Heaven, God of history time and eternity, we come to You in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and our Savior.

We repent of our rebellion and wickedness and the mocking of your Word and Your Name.

We are ashamed of how far we have fallen from Your truth.

We turn from sin toward Your mercy. 

Your people ask You humbly for a mighty revival, a sweeping move of your Holy Spirit to bring millions to the foot of the Cross.

We ask for Your anointing to grant us boldness and courage to speak up and to speak out for Your truth and morality.

We pray for our children and grandchildren, that they might know Your mercy and Your power in this generation.

Grant that we might be found faithful to our calling and Your mandate on our lives to be ambassadors of your Good News.

We pray that whatever the future calls us to, we would be found honoring Your truth and Your Word, so that You always have a witness of Your power on this earth. 

May Christ be glorified in our lives, our work, our families, our ministry, and our voting.

In the Mighty Name of Christ we pray, Amen.”

I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;
So shall I be saved from my enemies.
~2 Samuel 22:2-4

Should followers of Jesus have a positive impact on every area of society?

Absolutely.

The light of our lives and the light of our message should illuminate our surroundings. Our good deeds and our biblically based values should disseminate love and truth. At the same time, we are not called to take over society and impose our faith on the nation.

There is a vast difference between making a positive impact and imposing a theocracy.

Of course, whatever we do together as followers of Jesus will likely be misjudged by our critics.

As a colleague pointed out in a group text discussion, “In the 1970s it was ‘culture religion’ or ‘civil religion’ that we were accused of. Then in the 1990s we were accused of being ‘theocrats.’ Then it was ‘dominionists’ (though I think most who accused us could not have properly defined the term . . . .). But behold! They have a NEW word for us now: ‘Christian Nationalism.’ And the purpose of this word? It is to bludgeon, bully, intimidate and keep us OUT of the public square. It is to shame us from being activists.”

That’s why, in the days ahead, we will hear dire warnings from the left about a nefarious plot by Christian conservatives to take over the nation. The warnings will be so shrill that they will border on hysteria. “They’re trying to impose a theocracy! They are trying to create an America in their own image! And they are not afraid to call for the shedding of blood!”

Unfortunately, there are some Christian groups calling for this very thing (although, to be clear, when they talk about the possibility of bloodshed, they mean that their blood might be shed as martyrs for the cause). They are espousing an unhealthy Christian nationalism that merges Christian identity with national identity and wraps the gospel in the American flag. And the most extreme among them would even welcome a theocratic kingdom on earth where religious leaders dictate how the society is governed.

Some are political leaders, some are media leaders, and some are ministry leaders. In all cases, I reject their goals, I reject their methods, and I reject their rhetoric. In fact, this is one reason why I have distanced myself from the term “Christian nationalism.” (For an in-depth treatment of this in my latest book, see here.)

To give some specific examples, some of the rhetoric at the DC Jericho March December 2020 was dangerous. Some of the rhetoric of GAB’s CEO Andrew Torba, referring explicitly to Christian nationalism, is dangerous. And when a major speaker at a recent MAGA rally calls on pastors to preach from the Constitution as much as from the Bible, we know things have gotten way off course.

That’s why I continue to distance myself from “Christian nationalism.” We can be Jesus loving patriots without embracing the “Christian nationalist” moniker.

At the same time, we must remember that every effort that we make to bring positive change to our communities will be labeled dominionism.

Every vote we cast will be seen as part of the alleged takeover plot.

Every step that we take to fulfill our calling as the salt of the earth and the light of the world will be branded as part of a theocracy. “You Christians are just trying to take over! Next you’ll be forcing us to read the Bible and go to church, under penalty of imprisonment or death!”

Maybe I’m exaggerating here, but only a little.

In fact, in the same text discussion I referenced above, another colleague pointed out that a left-leaning intellectual was now associating large families with Christian nationalism. To paraphrase (again, in somewhat exaggerated terms), “Beware those evil breeders! They’re probably hoarding weapons too. More babies and more guns! That’s their secret plan. A militia in every home!”

So, I recognize that our best intentions will be maligned. I understand that we will be misunderstood and, even worse, intentionally misrepresented. So be it.

But let’s not give our critics fuel for their fire by our foolish behavior and undisciplined rhetoric. And let’s not confuse the watching masses by playing into their worst fears.

We can be world changers without being world dominators. We can preach the Scriptures without advocating for a theocracy. We can vote and lobby and stand and speak without calling for Christian dominionism.

In short, we should do what Jesus told us to do: “let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven” (Matt 5:16).

We should heed the exhortation of Peter: “Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world” (1 Peter 2:12, NLT).

We should carry out this mandate from Proverbs: “Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.” (Proverbs 31:8–9)

That is how we change the world.

It’s Time for the Scientific Community to Admit We Were Wrong About COVID
Written by Kevin Bass – Newsweek (January 30, 2023)

“Stratifying by age group revealed RIs were significantly higher for age groups 25 – 39 and 60 or older,” explains the study.

“Males over the age of 60 had a 10% increased risk of cardiac-related death within 28 days of mRNA vaccination,” it continued.

As a result, Florida’s Surgeon General now recommends against males aged 18 to 39 from receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.

Unethical: Up to 98x Worse Than the Disease: Top Scientists Publish Paradigm-Shifting Study About COVID-19 Vaccines
Written by Jennifer Margulis and Joe Wang – The Epoch Times (September 10, 2022)

A team of nine experts from Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and other top universities has published paradigm-shifting research about the efficacy and safety of the COVID-19 vaccines and why mandating vaccines for college students is unethical.

This 50-page study, which was published on The Social Science Research Network at the end of August, analyzed CDC and industry-sponsored data on vaccine adverse events, and concluded that mandates for COVID-19 boosters for young people may cause 18 to 98 actual serious adverse events for each COVID-19 infection-related hospitalization theoretically prevented.

New Study Finds Masks Become Disgusting Bacteria Traps as Mandates Continue
Written by Daniel Horowitz – Conservative Review (July 19, 2022)

No sane layman, much less a doctor or scientist, could have thought hanging moist cloths from people’s breathing holes for hours on end in the heat wouldn’t become traps for bacteria and fungi. But shockingly, it has taken two years for a major study to be conducted affirming the obvious. Even more shockingly, a number of localities are bringing back edicts criminalizing bare-faced breathing without these bacteria traps. War is peace, and infections are health.

Biden’s WHO Debacle Highlights Need for More Transparency
Written by Joshua Arnold, FRC (May 26, 2022)

Before World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was re-elected without opposition this week at the World Health Assembly, House Freedom Caucus members took the Biden administration to task for not proposing an alternative candidate. What’s worse, as they wrote in their letter, the Biden team is “now attempting to hand him more control.” Tedros first attained the office after heavy lobbying by the Chinese Communist Party, and his ties to China remained strong through the COVID pandemic. The Biden administration has proposed amendments to the World Health Assembly’s international health regulations which would strengthen the Director General’s unilateral authority. So, House Freedom Caucus members demanded the Biden administration “provide the American people with total transparency and respect for our nation’s sovereignty. Under no circumstances should you cede our government’s operational control in a public health emergency to an international body.”

 

COVID-19 Infection Rate in Ages 5–11 the Same for Vaccinated, Unvaccinated: CDC Data

Vaccinated and unvaccinated children aged 5 to 11 years were about equally likely to test positive for COVID-19, according to the past several weeks of data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The rate of COVID-19 cases detected in children aged 5 to 11 was about 122 per 100,000 for the unvaccinated and over 131 per 100,000 for the vaccinated during the week that ended Feb. 19. In the prior week, the rate was 248 and 244 for the unvaccinated and vaccinated, respectively.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reportedly removed tens of thousands of deaths linked to COVID-19 on Wednesday due to a “coding logic error.” The CDC also quietly decreased the total of children who died with COVID-19 by nearly a quarter, according to reports.

In the “Footnotes and Additional Information” section of the CDC’s COVID Data Tracker, the U.S. health agency noted, “On March 15, 2022, data on deaths were adjusted after resolving a coding logic error. This resulted in decreased death counts across all demographic categories.”

JAMA: mRNA vaccines elevate myocarditis risk by 133x

A new study out on Jan 25th in JAMA shows that the mRNA vaccines elevate the risk of myocarditis by 133x above background rates.

This study almost certainly is an undercount of the true risk elevation. The VAERS data is notorious for being a fraction of the true rate of adverse event incidence. This has been true every single time a study in VAERS is conducted. You’d think the CDC would be at least somewhat interested in how badly this system operates, but you’d be wrong. They are, instead, more concerned with burying the data rather than surfacing better data and then studying it.

 

Natural Immunity is Suprerior to Immunity From COVID-19 Shots; Reports

Time to End the COVID Emergency

The time has come for states and the federal government to end their COVID declarations of emergency and the accompanying closures, restrictions, propaganda, distancing requirements, forced masking and vaccine mandates. COVID may circulate at some level forever, but Americans can now protect those vulnerable to it with standard medical procedures. They can treat it as they would the flu. Emergency measures need continuous justification and there isn’t one anymore.

Johns Hopkins Study: Lockdowns Only Reduce Mortality by 0.2 Percent
Written by Ryan McMaken – Mises Institute (February 2, 2022)

“Lockdowns” for purposes of controlling the spread of covid have always been morally reprehensible. During 2020, police in American communities were actively assisting politicians in essentially confiscating the private property of business owners who refused to close down their businesses. Police in Idaho arrested a mother for daring to let her children play on a playground. And then, of course, there were countless cases of threatened arrest and other threatened sanctions which gained compliance because many of the victims—i.e., the taxpayers—lacked the resources or fortitude to resist.

All such acts by governments should be condemned as repugnant acts of runaway regimes.

Over the past several months, I have faced insurmountable challenges in publishing my thoroughly fact-checked, interview-driven essays on post-vaccine myocarditis—an issue that concerns me personally for obvious reasons: the highest-risk population is young males. My views on the issue have been fully informed by top infectious disease experts and cardiologists—from institutions such as Harvard and Stanford—in this list.

My inability to publish even a single article on this topic strikes me as a shameful departure from my original motivation to become a journalist a year-and-a-half ago: shedding light on stories neglected, distorted, and obscured by elite liberal media.

The president of the Chicago-based American Medical Association, Gerald E. Harmon, M.D., wrote on Friday in Crain’s Chicago Business that employers should impose COVID vaccine mandates as a condition of employment.

Last week’s decision by the United States Supreme Court invalidating the Biden Administration’s attempt to force employers to do so “should not,” Harmon wrote, “prevent these employers from doing what must be done in the name of public health: requiring vaccines to protect their workers, our communities and our nation from the ravages of this pandemic.”

“Our only hope is that large employers do what’s right—not only for their own employees and their families, but for the health of our nation,” says Harmon.

More Good News on Ivermectin
Written by Dr. Joseph Mercola – The Epoch Times (January 6, 2022)

When it comes to the treatment of COVID-19, many Western nations have been hobbled by the politicization of medicine. Throughout 2020, media and many public health experts warned against the use of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), despite the fact that many practicing doctors were praising its ability to save patients. Most have been silenced through online censorship. Some even lost their jobs for the “sin” of publicly sharing their successes with the drug.

Another decades-old antiparasitic drug that may be even more useful than HCQ is ivermectin. Like HCQ, ivermectin is on the World Health Organization’s list of essential drugs, but its benefits are also being ignored by public health officials and buried by mainstream media.

Dear Friends,

We’re almost there! Many of you have given sacrificially, and through December 31st these donations will be doubled up to $150,000 through the generosity of amazing supporters who agree with the work being done at IFI. I can’t tell you how grateful we are to know that you are willing to stand with us. Thank you!

We are closing in on our goal, but we are not there yet. We need your help if we hope to reach it.

With just over 2 days remaining in the year, we still need to raise a little more than $26,000!

If you haven’t made your tax-deductible, end-of-year donation to the only full-time, pro-family group in Illinois, there’s still time! No gift is too small!

These last days of the year are extremely important for Illinois Family Institute as our budget depends on receiving a significant portion of our support by December 31st.

As the nation waits for a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court this summer to see if the misbegotten Roe v. Wade will finally be overturned and once again allow the states to protect innocent life, we have a serious problem in Illinois. Over the past few years, state lawmakers have not only dismantled every abortion restriction on the books, but they have also passed a mandate to teach “comprehensive” sex education to students in government schools, including elementary schools. What better way to ensure the profits of abortion mills than to encourage young teenagers to engage in risky sexual behavior.

If that isn’t bad enough, “progressive” lawmakers are unremitting in advancing their agenda of changing America into a godless Marxist utopia. This past year we’ve seen parents across the nation protest the teaching of hate-America lessons through critical race theory (CRT). Over the past several years, Laurie Higgins has done an amazing job writing about this threat to students and the nation’s future.

Of course, any opposition to CRT is quickly labeled “racism” or “white privilege.” But we are immune to their feckless tactics. When we oppose the “LGBTQIA” agenda, we are called “homophobes.” When we assert that God made us immutably male and female, we are smeared as “transphobes.” When we boldly call out abortion as a holocaust, we are labeled “haters.” When we opposed Planned Parenthood’s sex education bill, we are falsely called “science deniers.”

This is why we launched our Rescuing our Children initiative this year. Students in public schools across the state and nation are being indoctrinated with godless ideologies. Leftists do not believe that Judeo-Christian values and Western civilization is worth defending. In fact, they are working to dismantle them because they believe they are the problem.

They are doing this in the classroom to ensure that their worldview is passed along to subsequent generations. They are also doing this in the legislatures in Springfield and Washington D.C., taking any ground they can to destroy the legacy of our Founding Fathers and our Christian faith.

That is why we need your help ending this year prepared to fight the battles of 2022. End-of-Year giving is an important time for us. Donations from moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas like you make up a large part of operating budget next year.
