So pleased to welcome to the program, talking about the Protect College Sports Act, former Michigan House Speaker Craig DeRoche, who is the CEO of the Family Policy Alliance.
We're the ones that, we work in alliances, the Social Conservative Alliance, we're Christian ministries, but we also mobilize other groups that share our values.
And we started the Save Girls Sports campaign that a lot of people have heard of now, nearly a decade later in 2017 to protect the civil rights of our girls and stop this nonsense that has been invading our schools.
And we're up to, as of this month, 2 million Christians trying to get them back to the polls.
And I know that this has been a major, major issue going back specifically to the 2024 campaign.

You go to Congress and the senators... put in this vague language, which would have done two things.
