Washington Weekly Review

We Say a Prayer in Remembrance

On this 8th anniversary of the Islamic terrorist attacks on America, September 11, 2001, we say a prayer for the families of the victims from attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the heroes of Flight 93, headed for Washington D.C., which crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

On that fateful morning 8 years ago, Christian Coalition of America staff was beginning to gather for our daily prayer service in our Capitol Hill office and preparing to offer up prayers for the events taking place already in New York City. From one of the huge picture windows in Christian Coalition's conference room, the staffers already present saw a plane pass closely by, heading in the direction of the Pentagon. Moments after beginning our prayer service, we were told to evacuate the building. None of us will ever be able to forget that horrible day.

May God bless America today and we pray that He will keep his hand of protection on this wonderful country and our leaders.

Roberta Combs, President
Christian Coalition of America

It is an honor to be here today with family members of the brave heroes of Flight 93, whose important place in history will now be forever memorialized here. We will never forget their sacrifice, nor the sacrifices of so many others on that sad day.

In the life of a nation, some moments are worth remembering. Others are impossible to forget. September 11, 2001, is both. With each passing year, the day becomes more distant, but the memories do not... (Read More)

Capitol Hill Update: President Obama is Still Defying the Will of the American People

After President Obama's speech tonight, it is still apparent that he is defying the will of the American people who do not want a government option included in health care reform or the numerous government mandates he listed in his speech. The including of a so-called "trigger" - blackmailing health care insurance companies, as some Democrats propose - basically guarantees a government-run health care system in America.

The fact that American taxpayers will eventually pay for elective abortions is abominable and is reason enough to vote against the health care bill being proposed by the Democrats.

If President Obama listened to the American people and heard their concerns, it was not evident in his speech tonight. He is still defying the spirit of the massive protests by Americans as expressed in August's town hall meetings... (Read More)

Health Care Action Center

Barack Obama and the liberals in Congress are pushing for a drastic government takeover of our nation's health care system. And the only thing that can stop them is you!

Unless Americans take action immediately, this bill could become law in just a few months! But we can stop it. We simply must stand together and speak out with an overwhelming voice and say "NO"!

Use the information provided within our Health Care Action Center to get the facts on the health care reform debate. Share them with others.

Get informed, and then speak out. Before it's too late.

Look For the Union Label... on the Health Care Bill

As if Americans didn't have enough reasons already to oppose - or at least be suspicious of - the efforts of the far-left on the issue of healthcare, the hits just keep on coming.

The latest comes from an analysis of the pending Democrat plans by Mark Mix of the Wall Street Journal.

It turns out, the one thousand-plus pages have been hiding early Christmas presents to the Democrats' buddies in the unions, ranging from bailouts of their own health care plans to the forced unionization of American health care workers... (Read More)

Capitol Hill Update: Even Liberal Maine May Join 30 States Outlawing Homosexual "Marriage"

The "Washington Times" reported last week that the governor of Maine, John Baldacci, has signed a formal proclamation putting the state's homosexual "marriage" law up for a vote this November. Since it is an off-congressional election year, there is a good chance that those committed to traditional marriage between one man and one woman will prevail as traditional values voters have in 30 other states so far.

The state constitutional amendments banning homosexual "marriage" in those 30 states have passed overwhelmingly by an average margin of 70% approval, including the liberal states of Hawaii, Oregon and California. The Maine legislature has passed a law approving homosexual "marriage." However, the procedure called the People's Veto enables the citizens of Maine to override their state legislators.

A total of 55,087 signatures of those Maine citizens who opposed the legislature's homosexual "marriage" bill were required. Instead opponents turned in nearly 100,000 signatures... (Read More)
