Are you sick of partisanship? Have you felt powerless to do anything about it? Let’s change that! I believe, collectively, we can make a difference.

It’s not new, but it may not have been used precisely in this way before. Practically all religious denominations talk about it in one way or another; it is the power of the intentional pra …

Why we call ourselves the Faith & Freedom Coalition: "Freedom regards religion as the companion in all its battles and all its triumphs as the very cradle of its infancy and the source of all its claims.... because religion alone is the safeguard of morality, and morality is the best and surest pledge for the survival of freedom.” -Alexis de Tocqueville We believe that the greatness of America lies not in the federal government but in the character of our people — the simple virtues of faith, ha …
