In mid-November, the U.S. House passed the destructive “Build Back Better” bill. While Faith & Liberty does not often get directly involved with legislation, this bill is a threat to religious freedom. That’s why it must be stopped.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy called it “the single most reckless and irresponsible spending bill in our nation’s history.” He delivered a scathing, almost nine-hour speech against this bill in the House.

Now we need your help to stop this bill in the Senate. It crushes freedom and wastes trillions of dollars to push anti-Christian radicalism. Click here or the button below to send your urgent fax demanding our senators immediately stop this bill! —Your Faith & Liberty team

Large portions of this massive 2,468-page bill support a socialist agenda! The so-called “Build Back Better” (BBB) bill will do all the following and more:

• Eliminate the Hyde Amendment, which will make your tax dollars directly pay for elective abortions. That alone is reason enough for your Faith & Liberty team to fight against it!
• Authorize government oversight of every financial account that has 10,000 dollars in transactions over a year, which will trigger the IRS to look at every 600-dollar transaction. This is Big Government on steroids.
• Give the IRS almost 80 billion to increase audits and other enforcement efforts.
• Pay an additional 150 million to IRS lawyers to drag people to court.
• Block all faith-based child care organizations from receiving funding. This undermines all of the faith-based initiatives over the last 20 years and blatantly discriminates against people of faith.
• Establish taxpayer-funded babysitting and tuition from preschool up to the sixth semester in college. That puts the government in control of every step of your child’s education.
• Devastate black communities by kicking independent contractors and temporary workers out of their jobs, forcing child care workers to be college graduates and taking over housing in local communities.
• Offer state-issued identification—essentially amnesty and citizenship—to illegal immigrants.
• Pay child support to illegal immigrants, encouraging more border crossings.
• Offer welfare without any work, or attempt to work, requirements.
• Create a radicalized, militarized “corps” for climate change, fully funded by taxpayers for housing, food, salaries, travel, etc.
• And much, much more.

BBB undermines the sanctity of life. It discriminates against people of faith, it opens our borders and rewards people for breaking the law, and it creates a climate police corps that directly threatens the entire concept of private property in America.

It is critical to block this bill. Our senators must hear from you. Send your urgent fax to Congress to fight this today.

As in the movie A Few Good Men, Joe Biden “can’t handle the truth.”

“It’s fully paid for. Fully, fully paid—it doesn’t increase the deficit one single cent. As a matter of fact, it will reduce the deficit,” Biden claimed.

The BBB is bad enough at 1.85 TRILLION, but it’s even worse than that. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget and the Wharton School of Business of the University of Pennsylvania, both independent budget estimators, say the cost of this bill over 10 years is more than 4 trillion dollars.

To put this in perspective, you would have to spend 6 million dollars every day for nearly 2,000 years to spend 4 trillion dollars!

There is no way to pay for this. The BBB will increase the size of the IRS and ramp up enforcement.

Why is that a concern for all of us at Faith & Liberty? Because this is the same IRS with employees like the infamous Lois Lerner who targeted Tea Party and conservative groups. More than 400 groups in a class action lawsuit applied for a 3.5-million-dollar settlement from the IRS for its abuse of law-abiding citizens.

Build Back Better will empower the IRS to repeat this sordid history. That is a direct threat to every evangelical believer who desires to get involved in civic engagement.

This bill can be stopped IF we tell key members of the Senate. To see this ghastly bill fail, we need at least one Democratic senator to say NO! Send your urgent fax today.

Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently confirmed on Twitter: “Happy to announce creation of a U.S. Civilian Climate Corps is now in the Build Back Better Act.” This was first proposed as part of the radical Green New Deal and now is part of Biden’s budget plan.

“This band of young Democrat activists would receive government provided salaries, housing, medical care, and food in exchange for their advocacy,” the media reported. This will enlist thousands of environmental activists as the nation’s new “Climate Police.”

There needs to be a groundswell to stop this BBB bill. THIS BILL THREATENS THE CHURCH, WILL DESTROY AMERICA’S FREE MARKET ECONOMY AND WILL USHER IN SOCIALISM.

We have incredible staff fighting the BBB on Capitol Hill, but we cannot win this battle on our own. Your message to the Senate is critical. We need to flood Senate offices with faxes opposing the BBB.

A member of our team recently spoke in Washington at a press conference against the BBB, and team members are working with the Senate to stop this destructive bill. Since this is a budget bill, it requires only 51 votes.

We need your help to block this serious threat against our nation.

You can also DOUBLE your gift through our Matching Gift Campaign.

It is critical to act NOW! The BBB will devastate our nation. But we can stop it IF we work together.

Your missionaries to Washington, D.C.,
