Christian
Coalition of Sarasota County, as chartered by the
Florida
Christian Coalition, exists to give pro-life, pro-family
citizens a concerted voice in government and the community
through
information and action. We have monthly meetings
with government leaders
as speakers, we conduct candidate
forums before elections, and
distribute CC Voter Guides that
define candidates' positions on
pertinent issues.
We also provide churches and
others with issues - news
from a Christian perspective and help them
conduct voter
registration drives.
We also stand against anti-Christian
bias in the media and the culture. And, we encourage and assist in
communicating with our elected officials on key moral issues.
The Faith and Freedom Coalition of Florida
The CC of Florida Board
unanimously voted, on September 26th, to form the newest FFC state
affiliate, the Faith and Freedom Coalition of
Florida. We will maintain the Florida Christian
Coalition, and Chapters, and also be a Florida affiliate of FFC. The vote took place after board members met
with FFC Chairman Ralph Reed who later addressed the
20th Anniversary Christian Coalition of Florida
Banquet.

BE A CHRISTIAN ACTIVIST!

|
As Christian Activists, it is very
important that we regularly contact our elected officials on
pending moral issues. We want this site to be an easy resource
to do this.
***Respond to the Federal attempted
takeover of Healthcare!!!***

We have prepared "sample" letters, left,
addressing many of the current moral issues of concern
(including Healthcare). This
makes it easier to communicate your views to our elected
officials.
Simply identify FAX, Email, or postal addresses (below),
and then pull up a sample letter, left, addressing the
issue. Modify it as needed & add your
return address. Then send it off (We recommend
SnappyFax computer software - $29.95 - easily downloaded
as one of the best available. Very easy to
send FAXes, in volume,from your computer!)
Do more than curse the
darkness. Take a stand for righteousness!
