Thanksgiving - Our Heritage
On November 11, 1620, after over 2 months at sea on the Atlantic, The Mayflower landed at what is today Provincetown Harbor in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. In late December, after exploring the area from the Cape southwest and then north, the exploration party determined that Plymouth Bay was the right place for those who had come over on this voyage to establish their colony.
And who were those who had come over on The Mayflower? Many of them were Pilgrims and Puritans, or Separatists, who left home and extended family to come to the New World for one reason—to find religious freedom for themselves and their children.
Read the rest of this week's Wisconsin Family Connection radio transcript "Thanksgiving - Our Heritage" HERE, or listen HERE.
The board and staff of Wisconsin Family Action and Wisconsin Family Council wish all a very Happy Thanksgiving!

It's Not About the Turkey
 What is the appropriate response of thanks and gratitude we should be rendering as we focus on the Thanksgiving season? According to Julaine Appling, WFA president, too often we don't recognize the subject or the object of our thanks—GOD, the One to Whom we owe everything!
CLICK HERE to listen to last week's transcript of our Home Front radio program that challenges all to consider what we can do to raise up a generation of young Americans to know the truth about our founders and our nation's founding and how to give our great God honor and glory as we do so.

Diaper Duty: It's For EVERYONE!
TOUR ARRIVING IN MADISON, WI ON JANUARY 2, 2021
Every year, an average of 130,094 babies die in the Midwest because of the tragedy of abortion.
Sometimes, numbers like this are incomprehensible and we don't truly take in the enormity of this loss.
That's why this year Wisconsin Family Council is a proud co-sponsor (along with Pro-life Wisconsin, Wisconsin Right to Life, and the Wisconsin Catholic Conference) of the March for Life of Chicago's Moving the Movement Tour, which is helping to collect 130,094 diapers for pregnancy resource centers across the Midwest.
Together, we can make a very real difference in the lives of babies and their mothers.
You're invited to bring diapers of any size (we want to help babies throughout their first year) to any of the stops on the March for Life tour. Bring 1 pack or bring 3; each and every one will be a gift to those who receive it!
If you can't attend in person, there is an easy option to donate diapers online!
This is a simple, yet powerful, way to witness to the gift of life and to serve families who need our help. Join us by SAVING THE DATE to drop off your diapers in Madison, WI, on Tuesday, January 2, 2021.
Register by clicking HERE and you’ll receive updates on logistics, speakers, and more in the coming weeks.
This will be an exciting, strong, pro-life event, that is also safe and will follow guidelines from civil authorities.
CLICK HERE to learn more or to donate diapers securely online.
We'll share more information on time and location as we get closer!
Is Georgia On Your Mind?
 We’ve had a number of people ask what they can do to help with the US Senate run-offs in Georgia on January 5.
Typically, no state can have both US Senators up for election in the same year. However, due to a death, Georgia had to have both a regular race for one US Senate seat and a special election for the other US Senate seat, both held earlier this month.
Georgia election law requires that to win a race, a candidate must get at least 50% of the vote. In both US Senate races, no candidate received 50% or more of the vote, forcing a run-off, where the top 2 vote getters in both races face off in an election scheduled for Tuesday, January 5.
CLICK HERE to learn more about who the candidates are for this election, why the run-off elections are important and what you can do to help.
