Citizenship Sunday
Dear Friend:
Billy Graham once commented: "In a world that might say one vote
doesn't matter..., it does matter because each person is of infinite
worth and value to God... Your vote is a declaration of importance as
a person and a citizen."
Voting is the most foundational of all American institutions. Our
Founding Fathers believed strongly in the right of all Americans to
participate in their government. Succeeding centuries have seen
voting rights secured by an ever increasing segment of the
population.
Unfortunately, however, only half of those Americans who are
eligible to vote are registered to do so. And equally disheartening is
the fact that the percentages among Christians mirror those of
America as a whole.
At Christian Coalition, we are dedicated to seeing every Christian
register to vote. That is why we are sponsoring Citizenship Sundays in local congregations all across America.
I am very encouraged by the increased conservative mandate in the
2000 and 2002 elections; the increase brought on by pro-family voters.
It is my belief that these Citizenship Sundays can ensure a
continuance of the trend into 2004 and beyond.
In order for Citizenship Sunday to be a success, we need your help. Take a step toward sponsoring a Citizenship Sunday voter registration project in your church.
We must see the political tide of this nation continue to turn away
from liberalism and toward traditional family values in legislatures
all across the land.
May God Bless you.
At your service,
Roberta Combs
President
