Dear Friend, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, announcing "that all political connection between [the American colonies] and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved." And the rest, as they say, is history. Fifty-six members of the Second Continental Congress signed the Declaration, thereby making a solemn pledge: "with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." Everything was placed on the line for the idea that "all men are created equal" and "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights." The Declaration mentions God three times: first as the Creator, then as Supreme Judge of the world, and finally as divine Providence. John Adams would later declare in October 1798 that the supreme law of the United States, the Constitution, "was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." This is the legacy our Founding Fathers left for us, the one we fight to conserve every day. Family Research Council Action (FRC Action) exists as your Christian voice in Washington, D.C., and across the nation. We seek to educate and influence your elected officials, mobilize our large grassroots network, and get out the Christian vote on behalf of faith, family, and freedom. Would you consider making a contribution to FRC Action today? As Election Day approaches, FRC Action is working to ensure Christians are registered to vote and that biblical values are being represented in our nation's capital. There is much to do as we educate Christian voters and ensure they show up at the ballot box. In the next few months, your support will help us produce and distribute much-needed voting resources and engage millions of voters across the country. We will continue to educate members of Congress and their staff on the issues, and engage our grassroots network to make a difference for faith, family, and freedom. Because of generous supporters like you, we have influenced key legislation, held elected officials accountable, amplified the Christian voice through petitions, mobilized Christian voters, and impacted the culture, all from a biblical worldview.
