We’ve been here before. Less than four weeks before an election that could change the course of our nation’s future, all the talking heads are telling you to give up. It’s over, they say.

Dear Friends, The Ninth Circuit recently ruled that a medical center employee’s sincerely held belief did not count as religion, even though the court never questioned her sincerity. Its rulings bind every federal court in Idaho, which is why I led a coalition of 18 states, Puerto Rico, and the Arizona Legislature in asking the […]
