Value Your Vote, Vote Your Values Campaign

By David Crowe

The outcome of the November General Election could well determine whether America retains its Christian based institutions and freedoms, or is given over to the religion of secular humanism and all that is contrary to the Founder’s vision and the LORDSHIP of Christ. That outcome depends on America’s Christians!

Daniel Webster, Secretary of State for three Presidents and one of America’s greatest statesman said…“Our destruction, if it come at all, will be from…the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence.”

Calvin Coolidge, 30^th President of the United States, nearly a hundred years later said…“There has been a marked increase in the tendency to remain away from the polls on the part of those entitled to vote. . . Election day in the olden times was generally considered more or less sacred—one to be devoted to the discharge of the obligations of citizenship.”

The 52 million VOTER ELIGIBLE Evangelical Christians in America comprise the largest voting block in the nation. Unfortunately, only 33 million of them VOTED in the 2004 General Election, and only 20 million in 2006! That MUST, and CAN BE changed if America is to retain its sacred liberty and Christian institutions! But it will take vision, leadership, and a determined effort by Christians in Oregon and across the nation to achieve.

Proverbs 29:18 says: “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” The word ‘perish’ in Hebrew means to be ‘unrestrained,’ a condition that leads to social, moral, and economic destruction.

Please Join Restore America, Vision America, FRC Action, Focus Action, AFA (American Family Association), and many others in this critical endeavor as we seek to rally, mobilize, and turn out the Christian VOTE in Oregon, and across the nation.

Our goal in Oregon is to mobilize Oregon’s 1600 Fundamental, Charismatic, Bible Believing churches to hold three consecutive non partisan Voter Registration Sundays—starting September 28^th—with a call for 100% participation in the Election each Sunday through November 2nd.

With the Restore America “Value Your Vote, Vote Your Values” Campaign to register and turnout tens of thousands more Oregonians for the November Election, Christians can make a significant difference in Oregon. (See our Campaign Slide Show at www.restoreamerica.org )

President Franklin Roosevelt said…“Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves-and the only way they could do this is by not voting.”

Important: Email us at david@restoreamerica.org indicating your participation in the Campaign. We will be communicating with churches by email up to the Election and want to ensure that all who wish to participate are receiving needed updates. (Your email will be protected and respected.)

The ‘Tool Kit,’ put together by Focus on the Family and Family Research Council is the most thorough and complete guide for individual Christians, Churches, Pastors, and Church Leaders that exists today.

“Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote… that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country.” Samuel Adams, Father of the American Revolution.
