Dear John,
As Election Day approaches, it's easy to get caught up in the drama of the presidential race. But there are many important decisions in our hands right now, not just the presidency -- decisions that we, as Christians, must take seriously.
When Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, the pro-life movement celebrated, and rightfully so. But that ruling didn't end the fight for life, it simply changed the location of the fight. Now, life is on the ballot in 10 states this November. It is critical that Christians show up to vote and make their voices heard.
Proverbs 31:8 tells us to "speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves." There is no group more vulnerable than the unborn. Yet across America, ballot measures threaten to enshrine a culture of death in state constitutions, going way beyond where states were prior to the overturn of Roe. These measures would allow abortion until birth and in some cases beyond.
For example, a recent ballot measure disguised as protecting "reproductive freedom" sought to allow abortion on demand, even up until the moment of birth. This is not about choice -- it's about the devaluation of human life. The stakes couldn't be higher. Christians must rise up and defend those who cannot defend themselves by rejecting these dangerous proposals.
Family Research Council is committed to fighting this battle. With your help, we can continue to educate voters about these post-Dobbs initiatives and expose the radical agenda threatening the unborn. We cannot afford to be silent when innocent lives are on the line. Every child is made in the image of God, and every life is precious.
Right now, your gift will go twice as far thanks to a 2x Challenge Match provided by generous friends of FRC. Your support is crucial as we work to defend life and share the truth with those who may not realize what's truly at stake. By partnering with FRC, you are helping us create resources, mobilize voters, and engage communities in defending the unborn.
DOUBLE MY GIFT
And abortion isn't the only concern. Ballot measures in three states threaten to erase constitutional language that defends traditional marriage -- the union of one man and one woman as God intended.
The Bible is clear on marriage: "Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral" (Hebrews 13:4). Marriage, as God designed it, provides stability and guidance. We must stand firm to protect this institution from those who seek to destroy it.
Traditional marriage isn't just a religious ideal -- it is the foundation of a healthy society. When marriage is redefined, the consequences ripple across every facet of our culture, affecting children, families, and the future of our communities. In recent years, we have seen the push to legalize same-sex marriage evolve into an effort to silence those who hold biblical views on marriage. Business owners, faith leaders, and individuals are being targeted simply for believing in the truth of God's Word. And tragically, children are being indoctrinated into this sexual confusion which has given rise to the transgender craze.
Family Research Council is working tirelessly to see our shared Christian values reflected in U.S. policy. But we need your help to fight back against those who want to see our values eradicated in states across the country. We must act now by voting and educating our communities about what is truly at stake. If we do not take a stand, we risk losing the freedom to live out our faith and pass it on to the next generation.
Every election matters. Every vote counts. And in this critical moment, we cannot afford to be silent. Please partner with FRC today and remember that every dollar you give before midnight tomorrow will be matched. Together, we can stand for life, defend marriage, and keep Christian values alive in American policy for generations to come.
DEFEND THE FAMILY AND DOUBLE MY GIFT
To help equip voters with the information they need, we've assembled the 2024 Voter Toolkit -- available in our Stand Firm app.
The 2024 Voter Toolkit is a powerful resource that you can use to educate yourself, your family, and your church community. It provides side-by-side comparisons of where candidates stand on key issues, guides for praying over the election, and tools to help you make informed decisions that honor God. With this toolkit, you can be prepared to vote and equip others to do the same.
It's time to stand firm in our convictions and inform our communities about what is at stake.
Unfortunately, there are still many Christians today who aren't planning to vote. I'm asking you personally to share this important message with your family, friends, and church.
Encourage them to pray about these issues, vote, and stand for biblical truth.
John, will you join FRC in defending the Lord's plan for marriage and families?
Thank you for standing with us in this fight. Let's ensure that our values are reflected at the ballot box tomorrow.
