Pearl Harbor, Bunker Hill and the 2020 Election
 The Death of General Warren at the Battle of Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775 by John Trumbull
Dear John,
Late in the day on December 7, 1941, the Japanese high command was jubilant. Thick, black smoke rose over Pearl Harbor as fires raged on dozens of vessels that made up the American Pacific Fleet, including eight battleships!
One hundred and sixty-six years earlier on the north side of Boston, British forces celebrated as the upstart colonial militia withdrew at the end of what became known as the Battle of Bunker Hill.
Had they been able to see the future though, the Japanese, and the British before them, would have been a bit more circumspect. In the end, these wins were more like losses.
I think there’s a lesson here for many on the Left, who have been giddy with self-congratulations after last month’s election. They would be wise to consider the overall narrative, to observe which way the winds are actually blowing, and to plan accordingly.
That’s what we’re doing. Yes, there’s a sense of mourning among conservatives over the loss of the presidency, but we can’t afford to mourn for long – nor should we in light of the bigger picture. Now is the time to press on, prepare, and build on the positives.
Right now, I’m asking for your help as we approach the end of this crazy year. We made a big financial investment in pro-life, pro-family candidates this election – and we have much to show for those efforts (more about that in a moment). Now we need to
A strong, healthy Minnesota Family Council is needed right now to do that important front-line work. That’s why I’m asking you to prayerfully consider a year-end gift to support this ministry. Your generous gift of $25, $50, $100 or even more, as God leads, will help us persevere and set us up to continue mounting a strong defense in 2021.

What's Going On In Your Kids' Classroom? This NEW Guide Has the Answers
I want to share with you a new, informative, and FREE resource for parents and grandparents with some crucially important information. This guide is the perfect complement to our Parent Resource Guide, which you can download HERE.
Our national allies at Family Policy Alliance and Focus on the Family have just released a new guide designed to help parents navigate the cultural and legal landmines their children increasingly face at school.
Called "the most important book a parent will ever read" by Dr. Michelle Cretella, executive director of the American College of Pediatricians, this guide offers parents help and hope to face challenging school situations.
Download "Back to School – for Parents: A busy parent's guide to what's happening in your children's classrooms and practical steps you can take to protect them" for FREE from Family Policy Alliance.
Recent school closures have given parents a unique glimpse into classrooms, and they may not like what they’ve seen. Classroom content may be overly sexualized, teach radical viewpoints as fact, or shut down faith-based perspectives – just to name a few concerns. Family Policy Alliance and Focus on the Family hope this guide will help parents navigate these challenging waters.
“Families today face unprecedented challenges at school—from highly sexualized curriculum, to men in their daughters’ locker rooms, to counselors encouraging children that abortion or cross-sex hormones are the right choice, without ever talking to a child’s parent,” said Stephanie Curry, Esq., Policy Manager for Family Policy Alliance. “We receive questions every week from parents about what their rights are, how to navigate the bureaucracies responsible for passing these harmful policies, and how to talk about these issues with children at home. We’ve created Back to School—for Parents to answer these questions, because we firmly believe that parents—not any government entity—are truly best at parenting.”
