Email from Citizens for Traditional Values our latest insight for you View in Browser   I submitted testimony this week to the Michigan House Families and Veterans Committee regarding amendments to the MI Safe Delivery of Newborns Law that would give women in crisis another way to save their newborn's life. The bills provide a way for hospitals and police/fire departments to install “baby boxes” next to their buildings that: Keep the baby safe and secure with alerts for medical care immediately after he/she is placed in the device. Allow for anonymity and confidentiality of the mother in crisis Shield the mother from criminal charges while saving the surrendered baby We applaud the work done by bill sponsors, State Representatives Bruck, Wortz and Woolford amongst others, who kept pushing this forward. For more details on all three bills, view here.   I also want to share this special piece of encouragement for you: I believe God is calling us back to common sense. Thomas Paine talked about it. Our founding fathers lived it. Many of us were trained in common sense by our parents and grandparents. But we have seen our culture run away from common sense - until now. I believe you can even feel this running back to the simple things - people are hungry for what is good, true, basic, decent and common sense minded. This short message from Dutch Sheets hit home for me. I hope it encourages you. Thank you for reading. Would you pass this along to a friend?

We gained great feedback as church leaders were able to have a robust dialogue on the issues they are facing, and ideas on how to engage the culture. Many left with a hunger for more. We are working now to organize more Clergy gatherings throughout the state. If you would like to partner with us and host one in your area please let us know.

Many Christian and private K-12 schools are already doing this and seeing a positive difference in student attention spans, work habits, and social interactions with each other. Public school children would benefit no less. National News that Impacts Michigan We continue to monitor topics like these - very closely. If it's happening on the national (or international) level you have to anticipate it coming to Michigan. Throuples in Canada - we knew it was coming (the trajectory of no morals leads to additional bad policies upon bad policies). Special note: the reference to "CTV" in the article is not us, but a Canadian news source. AMA says "no" to assisted suicide - but yet it remains a big threat: "With several states having approved physician-assisted suicide, the American Medical Association (AMA) staked out a firm position opposing the practice." American College of Physicians (ACP) - one of largest physician organizations in America - is now considering whether to change their long term opposition to assisted suicide. If you know any Physicians, Nurse Practitioners or Physicians who are members of the ACP please ask them to become involved in opposition to the 4 S25 and 5 S25 resolutions.
