The push continues to save the life of Christian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani in Iran is intensifying. Pastor Youcef is facing execution because of his Christian faith and our international team continues to work to bring international attention to his case. There are troubling new developments involving the Iranian government and their effort to discredit Pastor…

It’s a disturbing development – an assault on the conscience rights of people of all faiths. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has proposed a potentially crippling policy change aimed squarely at imposing a pro-choice agenda on America’s religious institutions in their role as employers. Under the Interim Final Rule on Preventive…

For years, we have been pursuing Planned Parenthood – challenging them in court. It is encouraging that Congress is now taking a close look at the nation’s largest abortion provider, with an eye toward investigating how Planned Parenthood spends federal taxpayer funds. In the House, Rep. Cliff Stearns, chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee’s…

There’s been another step forward in having the United States Supreme Court hear the constitutional challenges to ObamaCare. As I told you last week, our legal team completed oral arguments in our federal lawsuit urging a federal appeals court in Washington to reinstate our lawsuit and declare the individual mandate, which forces Americans to purchase…

We knew that it would happen. Palestinian President Abbas submitted his request to the United Nations seeking complete statehood for the Palestinian Authority (PA) – a government led by Hamas, a terrorist organization that vows to destroy Israel.

It’s an argument we have made before. This time to a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. We argued that the individual mandate, which forces Americans to purchase health insurance, violates the Commerce Clause of the Constitution. We asked the appeals court to reinstate our lawsuit and…

With the spotlight on the push by the Palestinian Authority to seek full statehood at the United Nations, it’s easy to overlook something else that’s playing out at the U.N. involving one of the world’s most dangerous dictators.   Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took center stage today at the United Nations General Assembly for the seventh time,…

As we prepare for oral arguments Friday before a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C. in our appeal of our lawsuit challenging ObamaCare, it’s important to note that a growing number of Americans reject the pro-abortion, government-run, and costly health care law. In a new poll released by Rasmussen, 56% of likely voters favor repeal…

With a showdown expected this week at the United Nations, where Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is expected to push for complete statehood for the Palestinian Authority (PA), there’s a new question being asked today about what President Obama has said about Palestinian statehood in the past. In 2010, President Obama told the U.N General Assembly: “When…

All eyes will be on the United Nations this week as the Palestinian Authority (PA) seeks recognition as a sovereign state. Of course, what is most troubling is the fact that the Palestinian Authority has embraced Hamas, a terrorist organization that vows to destroy Israel. With Hamas a part of the PA government, it’s clear…
