OUR NATION IS IN CRISIS

Dear Friend, On Memorial Day, our nation honors those who not only served, but who gave the full measure of valor -- their very lives -- for this great nation. It is important for Americans to understand that these men and women gave everything serving this country and defending a Constitution that guarantees freedom for all people inside these United States. When our Founding Fathers assembled in Philadelphia to write the amendments of the Constitution in May of 1787, the First Amendment gave us religious freedom, followed by freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the right to assemble peacefully. The Second Amendment also gave us freedom: the freedom to keep and bear arms. Those were the two most important issues to our Founding Fathers. Today, those two issues are under an all-out assault.  Men and women who serve in the military, and those who died, have fought to preserve our freedoms. But if Americans don't rally together and do all they can to stop the erosion of those two liberties, it will not be long before we lose them all. America desperately needs a revival of moral courage. People committed to biblical values must start speaking out and standing firm for the principles in which they believe. We prepare for battle by knowing what we believe and why. We then demonstrate moral courage by being willing to stand and be counted in these perilous times. Our nation is in crisis, as evidenced by the increasing number of conservative and Christian families coming under attack from the radical Left.  The number one task at Family Research Council is to protect religious liberty, and we do that every day. We understand that a return to America's biblical foundations are desperately needed to create a culture where all human life is valued, families flourish, and religious liberty thrives. Our STAND 2018 drive is recruiting 1,000 members by the end of June to partner with FRC to empower like-minded patriots across the United States. The goal of this nationwide campaign is to give individuals a voice and platform for expressing a biblical worldview related to faith, family, and freedom issues; share testimonies of bold counter-cultural resolve; and build an engaged partnership group of fellow Americans who support FRC's mission. To accomplish that, we urgently need the help and support of friends like you. That's why, at this crucial point in our nation's history, we invite you to STAND with FRC to raise $3.7 million before June 30. Go here now to make a special, Memorial Day gift that will help fund our continuing efforts to restore America's Christian foundation. In honor of all the U.S. service members who laid down their lives for our nation, will you join me on this sacred holiday by taking action to bring Christian values back into American culture, government, and society? Please click here to make a tax-deductible donation of $17, $42, $84, or more and become a STAND 2018 member today! For America, Lt. Gen. (Ret.) William G. "Jerry" Boykin Executive Vice President P.S. While our nation's current crisis has significant political, social, and economic ramifications, there's no denying that the roots of it are spiritual. That's why FRC urgently needs your help to impact American culture for Christ. Your faithful prayers and generous financial gifts will support our ongoing efforts to educate and activate individuals, churches, and government leaders to align public opinion, policy, and practice with biblical teaching and the gospel. Click here now to become a STAND 2018 member this Memorial Day.
