Elections matter.
We seem to be told that at every turn.
Yet for a nation that was founded on Christian principles, many
evangelicals are turning their backs on their country, their civic
duty and their faith.
Some 41 million of them.
You read that right. 41,000,000 likely born-again Christians
aren't expected to vote.
On November 5th, they are planning on staying home. They won't
be voting early or absentee. And they certainly won't be going
to their polling place on election day.
But this isn't an election that people of faith, especially
Christians, can afford to sit out.
There is just too much at stake.
To learn about what's at stake this election and why this large
block of Christians have become unlikely voters, watch our interview
with First Liberty's Kelly Shackelford. Kelly provides keen
insights into the dangers we are facing and the things you can do to
motivate people of faith to vote.

As Kelly points out, there are things that you do right now to
encourage people of faith to vote.
Religious non-voters appear more likely to cast a ballot when
they've been informed and educated about the importance of civic
participation. Helping them understand why their vote matters can make
all the difference.
According to a new study by George Barna, some of the biggest voting
motivators include:

* If family or friends are able to convince the non-voting person
of faith that voting is too important to not participate, they
will be more likely to vote.
* If they perceive the race to be close enough that their vote
might actually make a difference, they will cast a ballot.
* If they receive an unbiased, objective briefing about what each
of the major candidates supports and opposes, they will be more
likely to vote.
* A church teaching its congregants that voting is a biblical
responsibility of every Christian would cause many to
participate on Election Day.
With that in mind, here are 3 things you can do to motivate unlikely
Christian voters to vote:
1. Pray for our current leaders, the candidates running for office and
those you know that aren't planning on voting.
2. Ask each candidate their positions on issues that you deem most
important.
3. Share what you learn with everyone you know family, friends and
followers.
As we enter into these final few days before the election, it is
critical that each of us understands that there has never been more at
stake and our involvement goes beyond the polls.
That's why at First Liberty we are doing everything possible to
extend the reach of this message. But that's only possible
through the support of faithful friends like you.
Will you help us get the word out?
