This Week in Woke Capitol

 
 

Woke Capitol is more woke than ever.

* More LGBT Agenda

If you recall, our team found nearly 100 bills containing the term
"gender identity." What does that mean? Democratic
leadership realizes that the full Equality Act doesn't have
enough support. That is in heartfelt thanks to many of you who have
helped stall that dangerous bill with your prayers, taking action, and
financial support!

Now, Democratic leadership has employed their backup plan: force
through the tenets of the Equality Act piece-by-piece. In many ways,
this is even more dangerous because there are so many bills to keep
track of that touch nearly every area of law.

For instance, just this week, the House passed the Appropriations Bill
for the Departments of Labor, Health, and Education that includes
Equality Act language. Specifically, this language could punish
or deny federal grants to faith-based child welfare providers that
hold Biblical beliefs about marriage and biological sex.

* #SaveHyde!

But that's not all. For the first time in nearly 45 years, House
Democrats eliminated the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits taxpayer
dollars paying for abortion. House Democrats also eliminated the
long-standing Mexico City policy, meaning taxpayers will be forced to
fund abortions overseas.

We are thankful 208 House Republicans fought back and called for a
vote to include the Hyde Amendment, but their effort was opposed 208
- 217. Now, all eyes are on the Senate to determine if taxpayers
will be forced to pay for the deaths of preborn children.

* Infrastructure Bill Missing Its Structure?

Speaking of the Senate, you're probably hearing a lot of talk
about the Infrastructure package. This week, the Senate voted to move
this legislation forward in the process- without being able to read
the text of the bill. Yes, you read that correctly- they're
moving forward a bill that the Senators haven't seen! Our team
will be monitoring this major piece of legislation (once they finally
have the language!) for impacts on important family values.

* Cancelling Rosie the Riveter?

ROsei the RIveter padded L

This week, the Senate Armed Services Committee also voted to add an
amendment to the big "National Defense Authorization Act"
(NDAA) that would require women to register for the draft. It's
another misguided proposal from DC that not only demeans, but also
erases women.

Family Policy Alliance and the alliance of state-based family policy
councils released a joint statement in response and will continue to
oppose this amendment as the NDAA heads to the full Senate floor for
consideration.

"Now Woke DC is canceling Rosie the Riveter? Men and women
are equal under the law and equally made in the image of God, but Woke
DC has an agenda to erase any differences between men and women.
Insisting that women need to be drafted in order to fully participate
in our nation's defense demeans women who have kept our country
safe and on track on the front lines in our manufacturing plants and
labor force, with our families, and by their voluntary service in the
armed forces.

"To win a war but have no American families left at home would
be doing the enemy's job for them...

* Woke DC Takes a Break?

Now, Representatives and Senators head back to their states for August
break, which means we'll all get a break from the steady stream
of "wokeness" in Congress. And, hopefully they will be
reminded of how real America feels about the issues at stake today.

However, the Biden Administration has been hard at work implementing a
radical agenda through administrative action-getting around
doing the hard work of the legislative process. Be assured, we will
continue to watch, respond, and bring believers together to take
action when the Administration attempts to write rules that harm life,
religious freedom, and families.

Thank you for your ongoing support and prayers!
