A meme on social media says: “Pretty excited. Our loan was approved. We’re closing on a full tank of gas.” Yesterday, we were shocked by how much it cost to fill up a tank. Gas prices reached an all-time high!

On Day One, Joe Biden killed the Keystone XL Pipeline. Now he says he wants to buy oil from countries that hate us.

Some may ask why energy policy is of concern to the Faith & Liberty missionary team. The answer is simple. We’ve spent years reaching out to our public policy makers in support of policies that align with our constitutional values, including our religious liberty. Any agreement made with nations that hate religious freedom ultimately threatens our own.

There is a better option. A U.S. Senate bill will end this administration’s ability to block the Keystone XL Pipeline and open the path for energy production. America is rich in oil and natural gas and must become energy independent again. This will strengthen our economy, create new jobs and keep us strong internationally—protecting and preserving our religious freedom.

But Biden apparently wants to enrich dictators that despise us, like Iran (which has called America “The Great Satan”) and Venezuela, a communist country that already has Iranian missiles able to reach U.S. soil.

This cannot stand!

At this moment, Joe Biden is toying with breaking longstanding sanctions against Venezuela’s brutal communist dictator President Nicolás Maduro.

Venezuela is the first nation in the Western Hemisphere with Iranian-made unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) capable of dropping bombs. This technology is stationed in the northeast corner of South America, less than 1,300 miles from Miami.

These UAVs include “thousands of unmanned systems, which are designed to gather intelligence, and to strike surface or air targets, either by launching missiles and bombs, or conducting a suicide explosive attack by diving into the target.”

“Ultimately, the Iranians have marked out Venezuela as a potential base for some sort of activity against the U.S. in the future,” said Major Tal Beeri, head of the research department at the Alma Research and Education Center and a former member of the Israel Defense Forces’ Military Intelligence Directorate.

“Even if they do not actually act from it, in Iran’s strategic view, merely having a presence there is a threat to the United States.”

The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei, even claims that Venezuela is, at least symbolically, part of its radicalized Shi’ite axis. Beeri told reporters, “The Venezuelan regime, like Iran, is isolated. They share common interests and foster ties. Iran has clear economic and military interests in the country.”

Venezuela is philosophically opposed, and physically threatening, to American liberty. Why are we rushing to pay millions of dollars to this nation’s communist dictator when we already have these natural resources?

We must throw off the shackles of our dependency on nations that despise us. Biden’s actions are escalating an already serious threat to America.

Demand that Congress protect America and allow us to build American self-reliance. STOP Biden’s bad decisions and support Sen. Cruz’s bill and all actions to create natural gas and energy independence with your faxes today.

America cannot become dependent on Venezuela or Iran—or any other nation or philosophy that despises our freedoms, including our religious liberty.

Legislators in D.C. need to be flooded with messages of support for Sen. Cruz’s bill and other efforts like supplying natural gas so our nation can be self-reliant. Urge our federal legislators to demand energy independence today.

We are fighting for much more than energy independence.

Last week, our chairman, Mat Staver, was back in court representing military members against Biden’s forced COVID shot mandates. Mat was able to help expose how the Navy was caught lying about people of faith.

The Navy professed it had lost confidence in a ship’s commanding officer because of his vaccine status and claimed that to keep him in command, while not injected, would force them to park the ship.

However, when this lie was filed in court, the commander was on board the ship far out to sea for two weeks of maneuvers, testing and training for military readiness. The ship returned to port March 4 after having completed the military drills assigned to it—and after the military claimed the ship could not be deployed unless every sailor had the jab. This is not the first time Joe Biden’s Department of Defense has been caught lying.

This reeks of petty retaliation and contempt for people of faith. Your team at Faith & Liberty has fought hard to stand with the brave men and women of our nation’s military and fight for their religious freedom. But your team at Faith & Liberty cannot fight these battles alone. Please consider giving today and having the impact of your gift DOUBLED through our 2022 Challenge Grant. Support Faith & Liberty today.

All of God’s very best to you!

Your missionaries to Washington, D.C.,

Peggy Nienaber, Vice President
Mat Staver, Chairman
