Here at Family Policy Alliance® we receive news on life and family issues from around the country. Many of you on our email list get glimpses into some of these issues, but we certainly can’t fit everything into an email or two. For that reason, let me recap some of the headlines you won’t see highlighted in the media. All the following news stories were published recently over a two-week period.
-
- Planned Parenthood Sets New Record for Abortions in a Single Year (Daily Signal)

That balances things out a bit, but the situation can certainly be worrisome. That’s where we come in.
Here in Wyoming, we know the importance of guard dogs for our livestock. Family Policy Alliance is like a guard dog. A guard dog has two primary functions: alert you to danger and protect you from it. That’s what we do on issues such as life, religious freedom, family values, education, and many more. We do the work of combing through articles like those above, finding the more significant ones and alerting you.
Then in our second guard dog role, we stand strong for our shared values on these issues (and more) here at home and on Capitol Hill.
The work of Family Policy Alliance in Wyoming is to serve as the guard dog on these and other important issues right here. That all takes resources and we need your help in launching Family Policy Alliance of Wyoming. I know that by working together we can make a better Wyoming for future generations where God is honored, religious freedom flourishes, families thrive and life is cherished.
Today, your gift will help us continue the work of building the framework for our organization – won’t you join with us today?
Sincerely,
Nathan Winters
Director of Advocacy – Wyoming
