March/April 2007 Action Update
As the new Congress opened this year, with liberals in control of both the House and Senate, we knew things would be bad—and we were right. The Democratic majority, as well as some Republicans, seemed intent on calling up anti-family and immoral legislation faster than we could stop them.

January 2007 Action Update
We knew the onslaught would come fast, but it’s even worse than we imagined.

When we got wind of it, we did everything we could to thwart this audacious destruction of human life.

November 2005 Action Update
How do you get a U.S. senator to pay attention — especially one who is not inclined to listen to conservatives? The answer is heat. That’s what it will take to convince senators to vote for the President’s Supreme Court nominee, Samuel Alito. The senators will be hard-pressed by the Left to turn against him, because they know that if Alito is confirmed, the Court will take a conservative turn, one that we will celebrate.
