Saturday’s Hartford Courant had an op-ed by the ACLU praising Gov. Malloy’s veto of a campaign finance bill and again mentioning Family Institute of Connecticut by name. We agree the Governor was right to veto and if the ACLU thinks it helps their point to repeatedly reference FIC, well then, we are just fine with […]

It is unlikely to win one of the Courant’s “best letters of the year” awards, but it should. Daniel Harazim calls out our local paper of record for ignoring Father’s Day and boy, does he have their number: I might have at least thought that the paper would do a fabulous spread on the glories […]

We don’t blame the editors of America’s oldest continuously published newspaper for being continuously confused. The Hartford Courant could not bother to send a reporter to FIC’s March 23rd Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally, even though there were 615 of us just a few blocks from the Courant’s office at noon on a weekday. […]

At noon this past Friday (June 8th) the Family Institute of Connecticut helped gather over 520 people on the New Haven Green for a second Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally. This was one of hundreds of rallies occurring simultaneously in about 150 cities to protest the federal mandate requiring religious institutions to pay for […]

What We’re Up Against The Connecticut Post is running a fawning, puff-piece series on Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy’s first year in office. The series inadvertently reveals what we are up against–and why Family Institute of Connecticut is so crucial to faith and family in our state. There is, for instance, this in the first installment: […]

In the three years since one judge redefined marriage for all of Connecticut we have faced blatantly unconstitutional attacks on religious liberty and shocking new assaults on parental rights. The media downplays all of it. But they at least get one big thing right: “We forced the legislature to pass the strongest religious liberties guarantees […]

FIC Action’s update on forced pro-gay indoctrination at Hartford Public High School and a response to the Hartford Courant. Read it here.

On September 16th a Hartford jury acquitted a blogger of threatening and inciting violence against three state officials because, they told the media, the prosecution did not meet its burden of proof. This blog post is not about that. It is about the laughingly incomplete description of S.B. 1098, the 2009 Bishop Removal Bill, given […]
