Pelosi's House Just Passed Most Dangerous Bill. Now What?
Just a little while ago, the U.S. House voted 225-208 to pass H.R. 5,
the deceptively named bill that is actually the biggest current threat
to freedom and the sanctity of life.
What now?
In some ways, this is where the battle really begins.
It was always a longshot to stop the so-called "Equality
Act" in Nancy Pelosi's House, yet it was critical that you
and I engage there. And together, we sent a reverberating "shot
across the bow" of politicians in both parties who would cater
to this dangerous agenda.
* Thousands upon thousands of you sent messages to your
representative. The sheer volume of opposition got the serious
attention of Congress. You even helped us change the vote of two
Republicans who voted FOR it last year but AGAINST it today
- after we rallied the people in their districts to speak
up!
* You also helped Members of Congress shape the debate and expose
what is at stake in the bill! In particular, your support and
action on saving girls' sports over the past year made
that an important part of today's debate.
* Your support helped us put together an online rally that, in
just days, gathered thousands of live viewers - and
brought together a Who's Who in a diverse coalition
working to stop this. In fact, it grew so big so quickly that
members of Congress came to us asking to participate, even up to
the night before.
* And together, the rally and our Promise to America's
Children - a policy and parental statement designed to
push back on the Equality Act - have reached tens of
thousands of Americans (at least) in just the last week!
All of this gives great momentum as this battle now shifts to the U.S.
Senate. After all, this is where the fate of the Equality Act will be
decided, as President Biden has already declared that passing it is
his #1 priority.
Will you help us ramp up even more to defeat this scheme in the
Senate? Your gift of support is needed - not just for general
pressure on the Senate - but specifically to reach and mobilize
citizens in the states of certain senators who could decide the
outcome. It worked in the House. Now it's urgently needed in the
Senate!

So much is on the line, it's hard to overstate:
* The sanctity of life, as H.R. 5 could undercut abortion
restrictions nationwide
* Religious freedom of individuals, churches, Christian schools
and colleges, etc.
* The well-being of children who are in the crosshairs of the
transgender agenda
* The privacy and safety of women and girls - and the
relevance of girls' sports
* Stopping the silencing of anyone who disagrees with the
bill's agenda
Thank you for helping us build momentum against the Equality Act to
this point! We couldn't have done it without you. And now
- as we head into the thick of the battle - we need you
more than ever.
As God has enabled you, will you join in the action with your gift
today?

P.S. Today's outcome in the House was virtually certain, but the
battle to stop the dangerous Equality Act could go either way in the
Senate. Your gift will help build the public momentum against it and
mobilize citizens in the states with swing-vote senators. Thank you
for your gift to make it possible!
