as a grass roots effort, and being just ordinary folk...it's tough to know how to go about effectively spreading the word regarding govenor huckabee.
who do we contact? how do we access them? many non-profit christian organizations and ministries are legally prohibited from endorsing a political canidate or party. but we don't need an endorsement from churches, we just need to educate and inform people of their options, and allow them to make their own decisions.
but how??
i've already sent numerous emails to various christian leaders, to highlight govenor huckabee and his christian values. i'm not expecting any responses, but feel i must at least make an effort and try to contact them.
i've also sent letters to christian radio stations and christian newspapers in my area. although at this point, we may be a small grassroots contingency of people, if we all take action and contact who we can within our communities, we can have a big impact collectively. like that quote says, " the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts". and with the power of prayer.....and Jesus on our side.....LOOK OUT! like govenor huckabee mentioned post-ames..."it's like the 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread!". yes, God is working! so let's step out in faith!!
so try contacting christian leaders, radio stations, newspapers in your community. many radio stations and newspapers have 'opinion shows or columns' where issues can be openly discussed. i realize this seems like a 'drop in the bucket'...but we've gotta DO SOMETHING....so we might as well start here!
i feel confident, if people are informed about govenor huckabee, the contributions will follow. we don't have to "hit the pavement begging for money". we simply need to inform and educate people regarding the govenor, and let people do as they feel led.
so come on, christians...let's go out and GET THE WORD OUT.... and don't forget to KEEP PRAYING!
onward!
"rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks. for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 thes 5:16-18

I noticed a few years ago when I was dropping off Christian Coalition score sheets that many churches are getting skittish about political involvement. However, contacting them early will indentify those that we can work with later.
thanks for the comments, mike!
it's so disappointing and frustrating to see the churches becoming so skittish and hesitant regarding political issues. i don't claim to understand the law or the nuances of it...but it seems many churches just don't wanna get hit with "breaking irs law". so they back away entirely.
the irony is that it is the church and christians who are so greatly effected and frustrated by government and laws. we watch and become frustrated as our nation leaves the christian principles upon which it was founded. yet, it seems christians are somehow immobilized from acting. it's taboo..it's a no-no.
i've never been an activist in my life, but mike huckabee has changed all that.
"we wrestle not against flesh and blood"...come on, christians...let's go!!!!
