Family Action: 2008 VALUES VOTERS PLEDGE...Please Sign & Share!!!

friends,

exciting news!!! dr. james dobson, and focus on the family action are initiating a pledge for values voters across america!!! this is a fantastic opportunity for values voters to band together, solidify our support of traditional values and send a message to washington leadership, the media and the pundits.

apparently, those in washington and the media, are discounting the power of the values voters demographic. they think values voters are a passive and ignorant sort. in light of what the msm has decided the result to be, they are assuming that although we, values voters may disagree... we good little values voters, will simply accept their declarations and our defeat, and will all go away quietly and graciously ...fading back into our church pews to go lick our wounds and comfort one another. WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! WRONG!!!!!!!!! WRONG!!!!!!!!!!

i hate to burst their bubble (well, honestly.. i do kind of enjoy it!! ;) ) but newsflash: VALUES VOTERS ARE COMMITTED BECAUSE OF MORAL ISSUES. unlike other groups that are committed to a person, or a bill or a philosophy, for values voters it is much more personal.

VALUES VOTERS ARE COMMITTED BECAUSE OF OUR FAITH, OUR VALUES AND OUR BELIEFS....NOT because someone said so, or because it was politically correct or because it was 'hip or the flavor of the month'. VALUES VOTERS ARE DEEPLY COMMITTED. AND VALUES VOTERS ARE NOT EASILY INTIMIDATED OR SUBDUED.

with that in mind, dr. dobson and focus on the family action has launched a 'values voters pledge'. in it, voters can sign up and pledge to vote their values this upcoming election. the goal is to get 1,000,000 signatures, and send a message to washington and the media, that VALUES VOTERS CAN AND WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS ELECTION.

please take the time to check out the pledge below. if you are interested in participating in this pledge, please go here. please be sure to share this with your church, friends, and family. this is a great opportunity to help mobilize the values voters to make a difference in 2008!!!

The Values Voter Pledge:

As a concerned citizen, I am signing this Values Voter Pledge for 2008 indicating my commitment to stand for the values of life, faith and family during this election year. I am pledging to support candidates who uphold these bedrock values of:

•Life -- I will only vote for candidates who have committed to defend sanctity of life from conception to natural death.

•Family -- I will only vote for candidates who stand for one-man, one-woman marriage and oppose efforts to undermine the nuclear family.
