In this issue:  Senator John McCain verbally attacks Syrian clergy visiting the Capitol to plea for help – this after he had traveled to Syria promoting the civil war there.  Senator McCain and Secretary John Kerry travel to Kiev to encourage the mobs which have forced out a  democratically elected government there.  Why do President Obama and the Western media hate Russia so much?  Also, the Religious Freedom Coalition makes specific plans to help Christian refugees in the Middle East.

A local atheist group attempted to hijack National Religious Freedom Day at the site Thomas Jefferson wrote the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. Religious Freedom Coalition chairman William J. Murray was the keynote speaker and atheists demanded a "rebuttal" at an event that was 90% parade and celebratory. The atheists were informed that this was a celebration not a debate.

For nearly two decades I have written a weekly news update from Capitol Hill which was emailed to supporters of the Religious Freedom Coalition. Regrettably over the years the number of subscribers declined as news feeds became more popular and the number of readers did not justify the amount of preparation work required. The service has been discontinued.

We made a difficult day special – On Monday, December 16 the Christmas for Refugees dinner for Christian refugee children was held in Jordan despite deep snow and lack of power.   A last minute location change and splitting the event date saved us from disaster!
