There are many ways to engage the culture and exercise your civic responsibilities in this nation. In addition to voting, you can volunteer in your community, serve as a poll worker or on a jury, help with a campaign or run for office yourself. You can write a letter to a local newspaper editor or an elected official. Still another way Americans advance worthy causes or issues is through the power of petition.

By adding your name to thousands of others on a petition, you increase the volume of your voice exponentially. CMC’s petitions join your voice with that of well-known leaders like Rod Parsley, CMC’s founder and president, and not-so-well-known people like your next-door neighbor, a farmer in Kansas, a single mom in New York City and a recently naturalized American citizen in Oregon. Together, these names become a compelling tool in convincing our elected leaders to act according to our wishes.

The First Amendment not only ensures freedom of speech and religion, but also guarantees your right to petition the government in just this way! Our nation’s founding document, the Declaration of Independence, and subsequent revolution, followed a number of American colonists’ petitions that were ignored by King George III of England. It should come as no surprise that officials of U.S. government generally have been more responsive to petitions than was the stubborn British Monarch.

Rod Parsley, CMC’s founder and president, frequently initiates citizen petitions on vital moral issues to encourage CMC members and other believers to join their voices together and collectively advance their God-informed opinions. He asks that you make good use of your Constitutionally-protected right to petition.
