Christian author, psychologist and founder of Focus on the Family Dr. James Dobson brought the heat when he and two colleagues, Gary Bauer (Senior Vice President of Public Policy, Dr. James Dobson Family Institute) and Joe Waresak (President, Dr. James Dobson Family Institute) signed an open letter to President Joe Biden.
Within this cutting correspondence, they accuse the president’s policies of being an existential threat to the future of the nation.

Here is a breakdown of their talking points in the letter:
- Threatening Our Democracy: “Your government agencies regularly attack our Bill of Rights, most notably our First Amendment rights to freedom of religion, speech and assembly.”
- Undermining Religious Liberty: “Your FBI has infiltrated and monitored Catholic churches, while your IRS harasses religious nonprofits that dare to advocate Christian citizenship.”
- Discounting Parental Rights: “Your administration regularly attacks the rights of parents to raise and educate their children.”
- Devaluing the Sanctity of Life: “In blatant defiance of your own expressed Catholic faith, you uplift the right to painfully kill unborn children, and have expressed a desire to codify it into federal law.”
- Dividing People by Race: “You regularly employ rhetoric that amplifies racial divisions for your own political gain. This is ‘race-baiting,’ and it is immoral.”
- Risking America’s Welfare through Open Borders: “You have willfully failed to enforce the laws governing immigration, allowing millions of people who we can’t possibly ‘vet’ to enter our country—many from nations that are enemies of the United States.”
- Threatening the Well-being and Safety of Women: “Your administration is eliminating safe spaces for women by allowing men to use their bathrooms, changing rooms and locker rooms.”
- Foreign Policy that Weakens America and its Allies: “You threaten other countries that have traditional cultures by trying to force them to accept abortion and same-sex marriage, or else face a cut-off of U.S. aid.”
- Destroying the Economy: “Your massive deficits are breaking the backs and budgets of working-class and middle-class families. You condemn our children and grandchildren to lives of debt and fewer opportunities.”
- Demoralizing Law Enforcement: “The rising crime and anti-law policies you supported are making all American citizens less safe, particularly in the minority communities you claim to care about.”
- Corrupting and Harming the Welfare of America through LGBTQ Ideology: “The LGBTQ movement began with a call for ‘tolerance.’ But now you join those who are attempting to make every American kneel to their ideological demands. You promote more days, weeks and months dedicated to honoring that agenda than days dedicated to honoring America, our flag and our veterans. You even celebrated March 31 this year—Easter Sunday—as “‘Transgender Day of Visibility!'”
