Four Things Our Founders Believed That Still Need Defenders Today

 

While most Floridians are firing up the grill this weekend, our team is already deep in preparation for this fall's elections. We’re marking 250 years of freedom because a group of men signed their names to a document that changed the world. Self-government is one of the rarest privileges in human history. Our founders and a whole lot of men and women since have bled for it. The least we can do is vote... boldly and faithfully, and equipping believers to vote according to their faith and convictions is a large part of our work.  We thought you might enjoy knowing what we have been doing at Florida Family Voice in preparation for the primary and general elections this fall:

We have sent non-partisan biblical worldview questionnaires to 189 U.S. House candidates and 290 state legislative candidates running for office and have already received a record number of responses.  We are vetting 37 judicial races involving 96 candidates because the courts matter just as much as the legislature.   We are conducting in-depth interviews in dozens of target state and federal races so that when a Florida believer walks into the booth this fall, they are holding an FFV voter guide built on a biblical worldview rather than a party label.

All of this is being done so that we can create Florida’s only statewide, non-partisan, faith-based voter guide that shows where candidates stand on the biblical worldview issues that we defend. If you would like to be among the first to receive a digital copy of our voter guide for the upcoming primary election, click here.

Our founders saw America as a beacon of freedom, one nation under God. Certain truths are self-evident, they said. Rights endowed by God himself. The walls of life, marriage, family, and religious liberty weren't accompaniments to that vision. They were the foundation of it. Those truths still need defenders today.

As we celebrate 250 years together, we pray we can defend and rebuild the walls of virtue so that, Lord willing, this land would flourish for another 250. That is the work. And it only happens because people like you decide it is worth doing and stand with us.

Happy Independence Day. May we be worthy of what was entrusted to us.

Serving together,

Erik Dellenback President & CEO Florida Family Voice
