Dr. Ben Carson: My mission continues. Join me.

From Ben Carson:

Dear Elijah List Reader,

One of the primary reasons I ran for President was to help restore the Judeo-Christian values that made America great.

Right now, they are either in decline or facing a full-on assault.

While I won’t be leading this revival from the Oval Office, I’ve decided to continue on with this mission by serving as the Honorary National Chairman of an incredible non-profit organization called My Faith Votes.

The immediate goal of My Faith Votes is simple – get the 25 million registered Christians who did not vote in 2012 to the polls this November.

We face very serious challenges regarding our growing national debt and First Amendment rights of civil and religious liberty – but we do not have to play defense. When Christians vote, their faith transforms the future.

And let me be clear. This is not just about the presidential candidates. The Christian vote is equally important in elections for federal, state, and local officials who decide issues of civil and religious freedom every day.

The only way that we as Christians will not be heard is if we don’t speak up.

So it’s time to dramatically enhance voter participation amongst Christians, and we need your help. Will you make a secure, tax-deductible donation of any amount right now?

My Faith Votes has a sound strategy in place, and their work has already begun. Through aggressive social media promotion, a national church initiative, and leveraging national Christian leaders and broadcast media, they are working to inspire a non-partisan movement of Believers to act on their faith by casting an informed vote.

In a radio address from the White House in 1944, President Franklin D. Roosevelt said, “Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves – and the only way they could do that is by not voting at all.”

President Roosevelt was exactly right. As Christians, let’s not deprive ourselves of the chance to shape the future for our children, our grandchildren and our nation by sitting on the sidelines.

So please make a secure, tax-deductible gift right now, and help My Faith Votes in this critical mission to inspire and activate millions of believers.

Thank you for your time and generosity.

Sincerely,

Ben Carson
