You Make It Happen
I want to take a moment to explain why you have been receiving daily messages from American Values asking for your support. In recent months, because of health and financial issues, we have lost a couple of very significant donors we relied on over the years.
That loss has left us nearly $350,000 behind what we need to adequately fund our programs in 2016, which will be an extremely important year.
Unless there is a dramatic pickup in donations over the next 15 days, we will have to slash important programs and shrink our staff. Trust me, it would be very painful. We already operate on a very stringent, low-overhead budget.
If you can give $50, please do so. If you can give $500, fantastic! If you are able to give more, that would be wonderful.
If all of you who say you love this daily report and appreciate the rest of the work we do could give something, I know we could make up this shortfall. The truth is, only your support makes our work possible. You make it all happen.
Please pray about this request and respond however the Lord leads you.
Thank you, my friends.
Debate Night
The final Republican presidential debate of 2015 airs tonight on CNN. Thirteen candidates will participate in two forums.
Former Governor Mike Huckabee, former Governor George Pataki, former Senator Rick Santorum and Senator Lindsey Graham will take the stage at 6:00 p.m. ET.
The main debate will begin at 8:30 with Donald Trump once again at center stage, reflecting his lead in the polls. To his left and right will be his closest competitors — Senator Ted Cruz and Dr. Ben Carson.
Joining them will be Sen. Marco Rubio, former Gov. Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, Gov. Chris Christie, Gov. John Kasich and Sen. Rand Paul.
Foreign policy and terrorism are expected to dominate the debate, coming in the wake of the Paris and San Bernardino attacks.
Good News In New York
Yesterday I told you about the left’s attack on our Judeo-Christian heritage in one Brooklyn public school. Well, I am pleased to report that school officials are beating a hasty retreat today.
Evidently, it was all just a terrible misunderstanding — a poor interpretation of guidelines that is being corrected immediately. The principal has issued an apology to outraged parents, and the Pledge of Allegiance will be recited every morning from now on.
It is ridiculous that we even have to fight these battles. The left is so far out-of-touch. A new Rasmussen poll finds that 76% of all Americans (and 82% of adults with school-age children at home) believe Christmas should be celebrated in the public schools. Only 15% disagree.
