It’s time to work to genuinely bring Americans together to condemn this shameful and craven effort at destroying people with whom you disagree.

** [link removed] CHAMPION MESSAGE ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------

"The peaceful transition from one administration to the next is also a core American strength and continues today. Of course, millions of Americans have lost faith that the government, including our election system, operates fairly. But that is a cause that resumes tomorrow and will be won through the battle of ideas and by advancing positive policy reforms."

— Carrie Lukas, IWF president

** We Need the Electoral College Now More Than Ever ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
If you’ve ever wondered why America needs the Electoral College—the state-by-state process for electing a president—look no further than the angry mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Without it, contested elections, massive political protests, and civil unrest would likely occur with much greater frequency ([link removed]) . The framers of our Constitution distrusted government power, but they also worried about mob rule. To protect us from these twin evils, our founders deliberately created a decentralized system for choosing our chief executive.

** What To Do When Your Child’s Teacher Preaches Politics ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
We know parents are juggling a lot right now—virtual school, childcare, employment loss, and possibly health problems. Add to that the increasing need to push back on the political indoctrination children are facing in the classroom, and you have a recipe for anxiety, uncertainty, and anger—all emotions that make the already stressful job of parenting harder. Sadly, and increasingly, some teachers view this as their, not the parents’, role ([link removed]) . Instead of introducing topics and presenting various positions, many educators skip straight to telling students the “correct” position to take on an issue.

** The Potential Impact of a National $15 Minimum Wage ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
In recent years, Democrats and left-leaning pundits have frequently described minimum-wage increases—even very large increases—as more or less a free lunch. Now, President Biden wants to mandate a $15 minimum wage nationwide as part of his so-called COVID-19 relief plan. The old conventional wisdom among economists held that such a massive increase would lead to significant job losses, particularly among younger and less-skilled workers. Today, some analysts argue that the impact on jobs would be minimal or perhaps even nonexistent. Who’s right?

------------------------------------------------------------
Chances are, you or somebody you care about should be getting a COVID-19 vaccination as soon as possible but has not been able to do so. In many cases, vulnerable people have not been able to even find out how and when the shots will be administered. But several states are getting the shots into the arms of their citizens. South Dakota, for example, is doing so well that Governor Kristi Noem, a frequent target of mandatory extended lockdown advocates, is being dubbed “Vaccine Queen” in recent headlines.
