At first glance, the annual National Prayer Breakfast looks like a feel-good event meant to bring Democrats and Republicans together.
In reality, the forum is intended to help right-wing lobbyists and foreign dictators hobnob with U.S. officials. That's because the famous breakfast is organized by "the Fellowship" (or "the Family"), a secretive right-wing organization that teaches "totalitarianism for Christ;" favorably compares Hitler, Lenin, and Mao to Jesus; and works to recruit powerful leaders into its fold.
The National Prayer Breakfast tries to hide its true agenda behind a facade of Congressional hosts and bipartisan legitimacy. The good news is that Democrats are finally waking up: Nine out of 14 Democrats on last year's host committees have dropped out, including presidential candidate Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
Unfortunately, some Democrats still support the event. Event hosts like co-chair Rep. Tom Suozzi and former vice-presidential candidate Sen. Tim Kaine need to hear from Christians who reject the Family's hijacking of our faith.
