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
