Special Message from Kristen Waggoner
In a time when basic truth is questioned, when even the meanings of simple words like “male” and “female” are up for grabs, Congress cannot leave any room for ambiguity. The future of women’s sports depends on clarity—and action. We must fix the Protect College Sports Act!
FREEDOMS WE DEFEND
That all might be free
Standing for the freedom to live and speak the truth, to worship, to raise our families, to protect every life made in his image. And in doing so, to hold open the doors for the Gospel.

Sanctity of Life
Every human life is worth protecting from conception to natural death, because all life was created in God’s image.

Religious Freedom
Every human has the right to live out their faith across all walks of life—at home, at work, and in the public square.

Free Speech
Every human should be free to speak their mind and express their views, whether or not the government agrees with them.

Marriage & Family
God’s design for marriage & family is the building block for civilization, and Government Policy should reflect this truth.

Parental Rights
Parents have the God-given right & responsibility to direct the upbringing, education, and healthcare of their children.
