When one viewer saw the clip of my appearance on NECN last night discussing the Sex Ed Mandate, her response was “It’s shocking that they’re not shocked!” She’s right. Despite the fact that I held up a roll of “non-microwavable saran wrap” and explained what Planned Parenthood’s “Get Real” curriculum would teach our children to […]
This week, I had the privilege of gathering with pro-family leaders from around the country at the Focus on the Family headquarters in Colorado Springs. It was here that I received the wonderful news that Governor Sam Brownback of Kansas has been named U.S. Ambassador for International Religious Freedom. This is encouraging to all of […]
Like many of you, I was eager to see if President Trump would make good on his pledge to nominate a conservative Supreme Court Justice to replace the late Antonin Scalia. I was therefore very happy to hear the president announce last night that he is nominating Judge Neil Gorsuch. Several weeks ago, I had […]

Our family policy counterpart in the Lone Star State, Texas Values, helped lead the charge that saw the Bathroom Bill go down 62% to 38%. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Texas Values President Jonathan Saenz over the past several years. We’ve […]
Last week I was called upon to debate the Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act on NECN. You can watch that six-minute segment here. My opponent’s strategy was to say the word ‘discrimination’ as much as possible, particularly when faced with questions he didn’t want to answer. Unfortunately, this is true for so many in the conflict between […]
