California Family Minute
December 30, 2011
Sincerely, Thank You
From the first mention six weeks ago of a challenge grant of $50,000, your generosity to California Family Council has been overwhelming! Sacrificial gifts from $1 to $1,000 have been received, and your kindness will help us accomplish much more in 2012.
Thank you! We commit California Family Council’s resources to inform you on legislative issues, and to strengthen relationships with coalitions, grassroots influencers and clergy. In the past year, more legislative bills that force the silence of religious expression were passed in California. The majority of California’s legislators are not indifferent to biblical truth; rather, they aggressively oppose it!
An ally in this work wrote me a New Year’s greeting, saying “Get ready for even bigger battles in 2012!” I agree, and thanks to your help, CFC and its allied organization - California Family Alliance - will do all it possibly can to bring common sense decisions to the Sacramento Capitol.
One last reminder! 36 hours remain to support CFC with a tax-deductible gift in 2011. If you send a gift by mail, please make sure it is postmarked no later than tomorrow, December 31.
Be safe on New Year’s Eve, and godspeed to you and your family as your 2012 journey begins!
Happy New Year!
Ron Prentice
