National Praise And Prayer Points

Federal Legislation: Let’s pray the filibuster stays intact as is and that the senate is a firewall against all bills and language – all efforts – to undermine our Constitutional Republic, Judeo-Christian Heritage, and First Amendment Rights.

Round 2: House Passes Bills To Undermine Life, Liberty, and Freedom of Conscience

This effort failed in the senate by a very narrow margin recently. This is round two after the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Pray this and all similar efforts to undermine life, liberty, our Constitutional Republic, and our Judeo-Christian heritage fail at the federal and state level.

Celebrating ‘In God We Trust” Anniversary – July 30, 2022

At the end of the month we will be celebrating the 66th Anniversary of “In God We Trust” as the national motto of the United States of America. On July 30, 1956, President Eisenhower signed into law the establishment of “In God We Trust” as our national motto.

The CPCF’s “In God We Trust” website has resources like decals, talking points, social media memes, legal information, and other encouraging resources around displaying our national motto this month and year-round!

Ongoing: Biden Calls On Congress To Advance The ‘Equal Rights Amendment’

Recently, Biden announced a Resolution on the ERA and called on Congress to take action. On March 17, 2021, the House passed H. J. Res. 17 to remove the deadline for the ratification of the ERA. A companion resolution (S. J. Res. 1) awaits further action in the Senate Judiciary Committee. There’s many concerns about the future of conscience and religious freedom, should this Constitutional Amendment advance federally or at the state level.
