Ever-increasingly, Democrats in Congress pass laws that are anti-Christian and especially anti-Protestant.
https://federalnewsnetwork.com/government-news/2023/01/survey-religiously-congress-doesnt-reflect-america/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The Congress “remains largely untouched by two trends that have long marked religious life in the United States: a decades-long decline in the share of Americans who identify as Christian, and a corresponding increase in the percentage who say they have no religious affiliation,” said the Pew report, released Tuesday. It was based on a CQ Roll Call survey of members of Congress. Nearly 88% of members of Congress identify as Christian, compared with only 63% of U.S. adults overall. That includes 57% of congresspersons who identify as Protestant and 28% as Catholic, both higher than national rates. Also, 6% of members of Congress identify as Jewish, compared with 2% of the overall population. While 29% Americans claim no religious affiliation, they’d have to squint to see themselves reflected in Congress. The only overtly non-religious members are U.S. Rep. Jared Huffman, D-Calif., who identifies as humanist, and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, independent of Arizona, who says she’s religiously unaffiliated.)

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Who’s Crazy Enough to Be a Republican Speaker? You can’t lead a majority that would really rather be in the minority. – Editorial (COMMENT: McCarthy got elected as a Republican. He should agree to defend and advance the Republican Party platform which is conservative. I should write a book about Republican leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton who have talked and/or acted the most like they would rather see Democrats elected than conservative Republicans.)

— COMMENT: Democrats say “California Republicans fear McCarthy’s loss would be theirs as well.” McCarthy got elected as a Republican. He should agree to defend and advance the Republican Party platform which is conservative. I should write a book about the biggest adverse actions that have been taken against me, who took those adverse actions against me, and who could and should have come to my defense, but did not. I have been Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) member since 1999. Since 2021, Wheaton has stopped me from raising funds from Republicans to help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks. In 2015, DuPage County gerrymandered my precinct. In 2012, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois leaders ended my chairmanship or the organization. In 2007, Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) leaders ended my service on ICRC’s Steering Committee. In 2006, ICRC leaders almost succeeded in censuring me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters. I would focus on past and present leaders of MTRO, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, TAPROOT, and ICRC. I would focus on those who read my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.)
