Thanks a Million! Your Impact Hits Huge Milestone.


Your voice makes a difference. At Family Policy Alliance, we believe
that and are committed to helping you speak up on key local, state and
national battles.

And you have done so in a huge way! Last week, you hit a million
- a million messages sent to public officials through the Family
Policy Alliance Action Center.

But what's more exciting than that big number is the impact it
represents. To help you get a sense of that, let me share with you a
bit of the birds-eye view that I enjoy.

I'm privileged to work with and hear from pro-family leaders
around the country. They keep us informed and give us perspective on
which issue battles are especially important - and where the
voice of the people could make a difference.

That's on the front end. But the back end is where it gets
especially exciting. That's when we hear from allies in state
capitols about the impact that you made with your emails, calls or
other engagement.

It might be a key state senator making comments in his office about
the huge flood of emails he got in support of a bill, and it's
clear from the details that they are talking about your emails through
our Action Center.

Or a state representative may comment in a committee hearing about the
overwhelming number of calls she received on a particular bill -
right after we completed a major calling campaign in her district.

When you send a message through our Action Center or make a phone
call, you often don't know what the impact is. I'm here to
tell you that, combined with the actions of others, your messages
often make a profound difference.

* At the national level, those combined numbers can be enormous.
For example, during the Kavanaugh confirmation process, FPA
supporters like you sent more than 46,000 messages to U.S.
senators, with a heavy emphasis on key swing senators.

* But the bulk of our alerts are at the state level. While the
numbers are naturally far smaller, the impact is often even
bigger. Take last year's battle against a major abortion
expansion in New Mexico. It was the governor's top
priority, and it looked certain to pass. But FPA supporters
there sent 15,000 messages and made countless phone calls
- getting the attention of lawmakers in a huge way. Eight
Democrat legislators joined with Republicans in sending that
bill to a shocking defeat!

I could go on with examples from state after state.

And even when a legislator or congressman votes the wrong way, there
can still be positive impact. For one, they may become less vocal as
they realize how many of their constituents take the other side on an
issue. For another, as you share the alerts with others and they take
action, they become more aware of where their politicians really
stand, increasing the chances of holding them accountable at the next
election.

So truly, thanks a million! Together, let's keep up the impact!
