Don’t stop now. We’re just getting started!
Below the following announcement are some exciting ideas about how you can take your activism to the next level. But first join us…
“A Prophetic Witness For the Truth”, Saturday, October 31, at 11:30 A.M. at the White HouseAmerica is at a spiritual and moral crossroads as President Obama and the leaders of Congress are pushing for taxpayer funded abortions as a part of health care reform. If this current proposed legislation becomes law, your tax dollars will be used to pay for the killing of innocent children and the diminishing of women through abortion.
President Obama and Speaker Pelosi are pushing this radical pro-abortion agenda even though national polls show that 71% of Americans oppose taxpayer funded abortions!
All across America hundreds of people are taking a stand and sending their pictures into the website called Iam71.org to show their support for human life and their opposition to publicly funded abortions.
(Go to www.Iam71.org to see what all the excitement is about.)
In response to this historic hour…
we are going to the White House to be a prophetic witness for life.
We are asking you to join us as we lay down in front of the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue to form a giant 71 and make a commitment to end abortion.
Not only will this be a powerful witness to President Obama, it will speak to America as it is covered by the national press. It will also challenge the heart of the church showing Christians are publicly willing to lay down their lives to embrace the heart of Christ, His cross and His desire to end abortion.
We will not be silent.
We will stand for justice.
We will end abortion.
We need a strong turnout and we pray that you can make it. (We have received permits for this event.)
For more information please call Rev. Mahoney at: 202.547.1735 / 540.538.4741
>>> If you are leaving from the Fredericksburg, Virginia area there will be a caravan leaving the parking lot of Grace Church at 10:00 A.M. on Saturday morning. Grace Church is located on Heatherstone Dr. right behind BJ’S Warehouse off Route 3.
++If possible please wear a white shirt and jeans.

Here are some ideas on how you can take your activism to the next level and make a difference!
* Take your digital camera and your 71 sign to church or where ever friends and family gather. Take their photos and send them to us.
* Post the link to this site on your social networking site, such as Facebook, Twitter, My Space, etc.
* E-mail the link to everyone you know and ask them to participate.
* Buy an I AM 71 t-shirt from Christianshirts.net and wear it. They are great conversation-starters! Click HERE and HERE for our cool designs.
* Call, write, e-mail or fax your Congressman and let them know that you are part of the 71% that oppose taxpayer funding of abortions.
* Make an appointment to visit your representative or senator’s local office and let them know that you not only oppose tax funding of abortion – but that you VOTE!
* Organize your friends and family and protest at your local representative or senator’s office.
It’s easy! Just make up a “I am 71” sign for each person and arrange a time for your protest. Call your local newspaper and TV stations to let them know what you are doing. Stand on the sidewalk and wave at passersby! Don’t forget to take a picture and send it to us.
*Write a letter to your local newspaper and let your community know that the vast majority of Americans do not support taxpayer funded abortions—and that there is something they can do about it!
* Hold a prayer vigil at your church or outside your representative or senator’s office. Candlelight vigils are wonderful ways to involve the churches in your community and let the community know that we are serious about stopping abortion funding.
* Hold a press conference. Let the press know why you are part of the 71% of Americans that oppose tax-funded abortions.
* Be creative! Whatever your ideas, remember to send us your action photos along with a report so others can be encouraged and inspired by you!
