When asked, Press Secretary Jen Psaki could only promise "more detail in the coming weeks." Coming from the administration that blew away previous records for the most executive orders in its first 100 days, this foot-dragging indicates there may be a reason for the delay.

To Summit All Up: Pray Vote Stand
|

Building upon the success of that event that stretched for a decade and a half, we see the need for an event with a sharper focus upon the true source of our strength. And just outside of our nation's capital on October 6-8, the Pray Vote Stand Summit is a conference that does just that.
