Right in YOUR neighborhood!
Join Wisconsin Family Council next Thursday, February 11 at the Fond du Lac Pizza Ranch as we explore how we can change our communities and protect our families by getting involved in local government.
Progressive liberals have figured out the action is really at the state and local levels. We all felt the power of the local government overreach as we watched our freedoms greatly erode throughout 2020. From the closing of churches, schools and “non-essential” businesses, to the shameless politicizing of a virus for political benefit.
Don’t despair! Great opportunities await for real change. The time has come to engage in our local communities, the breeding ground for the progressive liberal agendas. Join us and learn about what is coming to your “backyard” and what you can do to stop it.
We look forward to seeing you Thursday, February 11, from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the Pizza Ranch 1235 W Johnson Street, Fond du Lac for “Time to Roll Up Our Sleeves!” Supper is included. There is no charge for the event or the food – however, we will take a free will offering at the end of the evening.
Please register using the link below, or by calling us at 888-378-7395.
Ready? Let’s roll!

Vaccines & Our Rights
 Universal vaccine talk sounds like something out of George Orwell’s 1984. Calling the development of the COVID-19 vaccine "Operation Warp Speed" doesn’t help, in our opinion. It’s all surreal, but it’s the reality in which we live as we continue to deal with this virus.
Now that the COVID-19 vaccine is available, talk of mandating the vaccine has been swirling—from the federal level right down to the state and local levels. Individuals are scrambling to get informed so that they can make a knowledgeable decision for themselves about whether to have the vaccine or not. Parents are looking for help as they consider what they want to do for themselves and their children.

#AreWeNext: Twitter Faces Backlash After It Bans
Focus on the Family-Owned Account
From Family Policy Alliance:
"Twitter jail is getting full, and the latest detainee is an account owned by major national ministry Focus on the Family. The group’s news outlet, The Daily Citizen, was recently banned from Twitter after a tweet about Biden’s Assistant Health Secretary pick, Dr. Rachel Levine. The tweet described Levine as 'a transgender woman, that is, a man who believes he is a woman.'
When The Daily Citizen attempted to seek clarification on what they could say that would restore their account, they were not given an answer, but instead a choice to delete the tweet or continue having their account blocked.
In response, allies of Focus on the Family are firing back. READ MORE HERE
On Friday, January 29, Wisconsin Family Action took part in leading a Twitter campaign alongside Family Policy Alliance and many other allies with the following Tweet:
WFA has also partnered with Family Policy Alliance and other national allies in calling upon the public to contact Twitter through a petition that asks the company, “If you are going to ban [The Daily Citizen/Focus on the Family], are you going to ban millions of others like me who believe that biology is reality—and that freedom of speech matters in America?” Please consider signing this petition today.
Wisconsin Republican lawmakers push bill to allow pharmacists to prescribe birth control pills
.Rep. Joel Kitchens of Sturgeon Bay and Sen. Mary Felzkowski of Irma and Sen. Kathy Bernier of Chippewa Falls have once again introduced a bill that would allow Wisconsin pharmacists to write prescriptions for certain contraceptives.
 Currently, pharmacists in Wisconsin cannot write prescriptions. However, if these authors and the other Republican state legislators who are cosponsoring this bill have their way, that would change. If this bill, Senate Bill 30, passes, pharmacists would be able to write prescriptions for certain contraceptive drugs and patches for women eighteen and over who have filled out a self-assessment questionnaire and have undergone a blood pressure screening provided by the pharmacist. After the prescription is issued, the pharmacist would be required to report the prescription to the patient’s primary care practitioner.
READ MORE HERE
This is the second time Republicans have rushed to sponsor this bill. Last session the Assembly passed the proposal, but it died in the Senate. Supporters argue women need more access to contraception. Opponents allege access isn’t a problem. What concerns them, however, is the well-being of the woman with no doctor involved prior to the prescription being written and issued. Wisconsin Family Action opposes the bill.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Call your legislator and weigh in on this issue as soon as possible. Find your legislator and his/her contact information HERE.
Share this information with your family, friends and neighbors and ask them to do the same.
Commit to praying for your legislators on a regular basis.
