Dear John,
We've had just over four months of the Biden-Harris administration.
Aside from a record-high number of executive orders, their biggest accomplishment is the so-called "American Rescue Plan" -- a $1.9 trillion spending bill with 90 percent of those funds going to liberal special interests.
We can only ask in disbelief: Who is being rescued here?
With over $700 million earmarked for "global health" -- despite the troubling links between China and the World Health Organization (WHO) -- the sad truth is: WHO, indeed.
At Family Research Council, we know our calling remains to shine light -- and that's especially true when darkness and deception run rampant.
Whatever mixed emotions we may have about election outcomes, we must pray for our leaders...and do more than pray. God's way leads us to action, to stand and speak for truth.
FRC has a proven track record of effective advocacy for our freedoms and faith. Will you join us and give your best gift of $35, $75, $150, $250, or even more today to fuel our ongoing mission?

One question about this COVID relief law has remained unanswered. If the situation is so dire that we need to spend nearly another $2 trillion, why on earth wouldn't you pick a better person to manage the effort?
Despite great efforts by broad coalitions, Biden's radical anti-life pick Xavier Becerra was confirmed as U.S. secretary of Health and Human Services. As California's attorney general, the only thing he's ever done related to health care is sue Catholic hospitals and nuns!
When conservative leaders in the Senate needed research to inform their questions during Becerra's confirmation hearing, they turned to FRC experts. The results were telling.
"Is there any line [regarding abortion] you would draw?" asked Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) "What about a ban on the lethal discrimination of babies diagnosed with Down syndrome? Would you draw a line there? What about abandoning denials of care to survivors of botched abortions?"
Later, on FRC's national Washington Watch broadcast, Daines gave further insight. "[Becerra] dodged," he told our audience of millions listening across the U.S. "I didn't get an answer."
Though Becerra was ultimately confirmed, this direct engagement on life issues let Leftists know we're watching -- and we are not going away and we will not be silent on the defining issues of our time.
In fact, the Biden-Harris administration's extremism on abortion is starting to backfire.
FRC has been resourcing state leaders and even providing expert testimony as various pro-life state laws proceed through the process.
This spring, Planned Parenthood lamented that a record 517 pro-life policies had been introduced in state legislatures. Already, dozens have been signed into law!
Does this clear pro-life backlash mean Biden and Harris will change their tune? Hardly. Now they're working to discard the Hyde Amendment, which has for 40+ years kept U.S. taxpayers from directly funding abortions.
Surveys indicate 58 percent of Americans oppose using tax dollars to pay for abortions. And that rises to 77 percent opposed to using U.S. taxpayer dollars to support abortion overseas -- including 64 percent of self-described "pro-choice" Americans!
When liberals have such dissent in their own ranks, it gives conservatives an opening to present a better way. Perhaps that's why pro-life state laws are getting so much traction!
This analysis is exactly what the American people need to hear. Some have. But FRC can reach and mobilize many more with the truth in the months ahead -- with your help!
DONATE NOW
With experience in Congress and our foundations in a biblical worldview, FRC analysts research current issues and relay vital analysis to allies on Capitol Hill. Their work is often behind-the-scenes...and absolutely critical to stopping radical ideas and radical nominees.
Without a doubt, the new administration is driven by reversing existing pro-faith, pro-family, and pro-freedom policies. The Biden-Harris agenda champions policies that have proven devastating to our liberties and those of the next generation.
This includes the Equality Act, a proposed massive overhaul of the federal civil rights framework that mandates special privileges for gender identity and sexual orientation.
And that's on top of their plans to mandate churches and faith-based nonprofit groups cover abortion-inducing forms of contraception in health care plans.
Your partnership enables FRC to remain a voice of moral conscience on Capitol Hill and in the heartland.
We remain on the frontlines every day:
- Reaching millions of Americans with biblical analysis through our Washington Watch and Pray Vote Stand broadcasts,
- Informing and activating thousands of pastors and their congregations nationwide with the truth in these deceptive times, and
- Training parents and leaders at local school boards so they are armed with the facts and statistics they need to defend our children's innocence.
Thank you for your generous support of FRC so we can be fully resourced to face the challenges to our faith, our families, and our freedom.
