06/27/17
The score released by the Congressional Budget Office this afternoon confirms what was already painfully and unmistakably clear: The U.S. Senate health bill, the Better Care Reconciliation Act, is cruel, heartless, and would be a giant step backward for this country. It’s no wonder Republican...

Prayers for a More Just Nation

06/26/17
Might it be that this land with all of its richness, with all of its opportunity for true greatness, its opportunity to present itself before the world as what a nation ought to be, might not be sowing the seeds of its very destruction in abandonment of its children? -Dr. Gardner Taylor, Pastor...

#MilitaryMonday: Anything but Cliché

06/26/17

I grew up in a broken home as the oldest of 6 children with a variety of stepfathers that were less than qualified for the job...

Moms to U.S. Senate Republicans: Stop Attacking Our Families

06/22/17
