We wanted to make sure you were aware that
TOMORROW—Tuesday, March 3rd—is your last chance to vote in this
important primary election!
Incase you didn't get a chance to vote early, we strongly encourage
you to practice your civic duty by voting during tomorrow's
election.
If you're considering sitting this one out,
don't.
We need Christians all across our state to vote in every
election—be it voting for primary candidates, for municipal local
elections, or for the president of the United States.
Regardless of the time of year or the offices up for vote, every
election is equally important and worth participating in. Throughout
the year, the NC Values Coalition is active on the front lines of the
culture war battling:
- Against privacy invading transgender policies in bathrooms and
locker rooms, as well as high school athletics
- Against sex-ed curriculums that promote LGBT behaviors and early
sexualization
- For legislation that would protect babies born alive after a
botched abortion with life-saving medical treatment
- Against abortion-on-demand all the way up to birth and paid for
with taxpayer dollars
- For policies that protect religious freedom
- For school choice and allowing parents the freedom to choose the
best educational opportunities for their children.
However one thing all our battles share in common is that many of
them originate with elections. Who gets elected is more
important than what you say to them once they are in office. School
boards, County Commissions, the General Assembly, Congress, and the
President determine the policies and laws that affect our everyday
lives and the freedom that we have to live out our values.
The biggest impact we can make in defending our pro-life,
pro-family, and pro-religious liberty values is to get
individuals elected to office across all levels of government that
share your values. It is much easier for Christians to
vote value-defending candidates into office like Dan Forest who
is running for Governor, than it is to reverse the damage done
by individuals like Governor Cooper who continue to try and promote
policies that seek to turn North Carolina into New California.
This is especially the case with primary elections, which set the
bar on just what type of value-defending representatives we want to
send to the general election.
Many of you have contacted us asking which candidates we think are
best suited to defend your values. This is one of the primary reasons
we sponsored the independent iVoterGuide,
which allows you to search candidates on your ballot and see which
ones best match your values.
We strongly encourage you to review the iVoterGuide,
and our NC
Values Legislative Scorecard, and use these resources to
help you determine which candidates to vote for. We also want to
remind you that we have endorsed Dan Forest for Governor!
We've also made it easy to find your local polling site. Just
click here to visit our NC Values Voter Toolkit, enter
your zipcode, and get a map of your nearest election day voting
site.
You've got no excuse not to vote your values. We’ve provided
you with a number of great tools to make informed choices. At
the end of the day, the power to determine which values our state
adopts are yours, and it starts with you getting out tomorrow on
election day and voting!
Sincerely,
Tami Fitzgerald
