Arrest made in firebombing; Supreme Court election is this Tuesday!
Election Day: Tuesday, April 4

There are two top news items we want to share with you this week:

1) Remember that this coming Tuesday, April 4, is the Wisconsin Supreme Court election! The stakes have never been higher for our state. This race is being watched around the nation, and the outcome could directly impact the future of life, religious freedom, election integrity, marriage, and more in Wisconsin. Please use and share the resources below, and we will see you at the polls on Tuesday!

2) An arrest has been made in the firebombing attack on our offices. Yesterday, it was announced that a 29-year-old Madison man was arrested and faces up to 20 years in prison. Our official response to all the media inquiries we have had regarding this recent arrest (and there have been many from both state and national outlets) is, “We have no comment at this time.”  We realize this doesn’t give people what they are looking for, but right now it is the most prudent response. That said, we wanted you to hear directly from us about this recent development and to assure you we are aware of what has happened and have met with law enforcement officials in person. Frankly, we are working to stay laser-focused on the incredibly important Supreme Court race we are in the midst of right now.

We will keep you updated as more information becomes available on the case involving the arrested alleged perpetrator.

Thank you for your concern, your prayers, and your support in so many ways. 

Again, this weekend is the final push to get family, friends, neighbors, and church attendees out to the polls on Tuesday. The resources below are critical guides to help Wisconsinites cast an educated vote.

See you on Tuesday!

World Athletic Council preserves women’s sports

LifeSite news reports that recently the World Athletics Council voted to ban “transgender athletes” from elite races and other contests reserved for women only. In other words, gender-confused men will not be allowed to compete at high-level international track and field events against women who live according to the way God made them.

In its press release, the group says, “The Council decided to prioritize fairness and the integrity of the female competition before inclusion.”

Finally, an athletic organization showing courage, common sense, and fairness. The council’s press release also points out that research shows what common sense tells us: males have physical advantages over women in these competitions. We need more athletic organizations at every level of competition to follow the example of this Athletic Council.

Praying for Nashville

Our hearts are broken for the lost lives at The Covenant School, a Christian school and church in Nashville, Tennessee.

Sadly, a gender-confused individual was the perpetrator behind this horrifically evil attack.

Not only do early reports indicate the courageous and swift response of local law enforcement, but even one of the victims, 9-year-old Evelyn Deickhaus, is being hailed as a hero.

Evil is real, but so is God. Please join us in lifting up this community in prayer.
