How will we remember the year 2017?
What will we say?
"We had our chance -- and we seized the day . . . we did it."
Or . . . "We missed our chance. . . . We failed."
With the combination of this administration and this Congress -- plus friendly legislatures in an overwhelming majority of the states -- we can truly turn America around.
But after only four months of the new government, it's obvious that it won't be simple.
To help seize this opportunity, I'm asking for a special gift at the four-month mark of 2017 and the new government.
The Left is pulling out the stops to destroy President Trump and to stop conservatives any way they can.
Here are five ways the "Progressives" have intensified the war on your values and freedoms:
1) Igniting an explosion of propaganda sold to Americans as "news." The mainstream media are overwhelmingly committed to undermining President Trump and the conservative cause. We now know that many supposedly nonpartisan journalists were heavily -- even financially -- committed to Hillary Clinton's candidacy for president.
2) Destroying public trust and spreading confusion. The media are hard at work in supporting the leftist agitators by spewing "fake news" and sounding the alarm about nonexistent crises virtually every day -- dutifully affirmed and repeated by liberals in Congress and statehouses across the nation -- all designed to deceive the American people.
3) Unleashing lawless radicals in the streets and town meetings. It's now evident that Barack Obama is behind the mobilization of tens of thousands of radical agitators to shout down conservative members of Congress when they hold town meetings back in their districts and states.
4) Maintaining a shadow government working against the American government. Obama appointees who are still serving as unelected bureaucrats inside the federal government are now working against the Trump White House, essentially operating as a sort of "shadow government" from within the government itself. A torrent of suspicious leaks, some of them endangering our national security, as well as several other outrages, have made it painfully clear that enemies of America are at work inside the federal bureaucracy.
5) Coordinating and unifying the falsehood and disruption. The Left is obviously unified in its anti-Trump messaging, and its attacks are clearly coordinated across the entire spectrum of liberal media platforms and organizations.
While the Left threatens with a new level of agitation, I am encouraged. We have already made remarkable progress, and looking ahead, we have a golden opportunity to make even greater progress.
Your support for FRC Action has enabled us to establish good, strong relationships on Capitol Hill and inside the administration.
As you read these words, multiple strategies are moving forward:
- We're working faithfully with conservatives on the Hill to craft and pass crucial pro-family legislation.
- We're working to see the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act passed to spare countless babies from an agonizing death by abortion.
- We're working with the Trump administration to unravel and reverse a whole host of extremely damaging executive orders issued by President Obama before he left office.
- We're working to defund Planned Parenthood.
- We're working toward repeal of the oppressive Johnson Amendment, the utterly unconstitutional law that muzzles the free speech of pastors and others doing faith-based work through churches and nonprofit organizations.
- We're just months away from implementing our plan to build upon the base of conservatives in Congress for the 2018 election.
And there's much more, of course. But here is the bottom line: For the first time in eight long years, we are not obligated to play defense. We can get a terrific array of positive things accomplished -- if we are willing to do the enormous amount of work that it's going to require.
But our success will depend on the generosity of committed conservatives like you. So I ask you to give a generous contribution today to keep our work going strong.
FRC Action will be your voice in the "inner chambers" of the formation of the laws and policies that will guide America into a brighter future that is open to the influence of Christianity.
Plus, you'll support our daily nationwide radio program, which is reaching millions. You will enable our vitally important work with pastors all across the nation. You'll empower our grassroots efforts from coast to coast and our preparations for the next crucial battles.
You have played a key part in getting to where we are today through your giving to FRC Action. You've enabled us to support and influence conservative caucuses in Congress -- and if you don't give up, we are going to see amazing advances in the days ahead.
I think again of what John Quincy Adams said: "Duty is mine; results are God's." This is our credo. Duty is ours. Results are up to God. I urge you to give this everything you've got. Thank you for advancing the cause of faith and freedom today. God bless you.
Standing (Eph. 6:13),
Tony Perkins
President
P.S. In his very first Cabinet meeting, President Trump began by inviting Vice President Mike Pence to pray. We now live in a nation where prayer is the first order of business for the federal government. We have hope. Let's not miss this God-given opportunity to reshape America. Thank you again, in advance, for your generous donation today. |
