Get Active!

I know you all care about what direction the country is going in.  We all want our children to be raised in a country that is safe, good, and a place where free enterprise flourishes.  
However, we have a problem.  Because we aren't a special interest group or a lobbying group back in DC, sometimes the politicians forget that the good old hard working, family-oriented, value-based people are the ones that got them elected in the first place.  And we are the ones on which this country gets all of its strength, heart, and character.
I know we all have busy lives.  We do too.  We put everything we have into raising our family to the Lord.  Because we love our children so much, sometimes things have to be moved up in the priority list, and being politically active and aware is one of these things that has to happen now.  The families of America are losing their voice because they aren't using it loud enough and unitedly.  Gay rights groups, environmental groups, hollywood and the porn industry are the ones who are making the laws right now.  Because we are doing nothing, they have the power.

Gay-rights groups are organized and waiting for any chance to tear marriage as we know it apart.  Is that ok with you?  Socialism in every way is on the lips of our leading candidates.  Is that ok with you?  The technology and the porn industry have lobbyists that are paid millions to make sure that everything and anything of the most vile, dark, depraved, evil content can be accessed and pushed upon the young children.  Is that ok with you?

My little family and I can run around until our heads fall off, but we have to be joined by people who are really willing to do a few things to have our voices heard.  It is not enough just to vote anymore.  You must pay attention to what is going on around and be willing to send a few emails, talk to a few people, make a few phone calls, watch the news and read the papers, comment online and in the newspapers, go to a few meetings, and financially support candidates who will stand for a free and strong America.
Political power takes numbers!  Numbers of people who are really willing to act!

I think this is a good step in the right direction:

Basically it is similar to the "do not call" list, but for email and adult-oriented messages that get sent, such as:

Alcoholic Beverages or Products
Any Form of Tobacco
Pornographic Materials
Illegal Drugs
Gambling Services
Prostitution
