As President and Church Lobbyist for the ACLA, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this important message. The purpose of this speech is to review the ACLA's goals and objectives for the upcoming year. But first, it's important to take a moment to do brief review. Over the past year the ACLA's website was visited by thousands of individuals across the United States who have used search engines to do research on Abortion-End Of Life, Christian Free Speech and Marriage bills and resolutions that are currently pending before the U.S. Congress. As a result, they were linked and directed to read and review the information or research materials they were looking for on the ACLA's website. The fruit of these visits is that the ACLA has in turn received many testimonial E-mails and letters from individuals across the United States who have shared a testimony on how the ACLA has helped to to research the issues and/or how to take legislative action by directly lobbying their states elected officials in the U.S. House of Representatives and/or U.S. Senate.

Over the next year, the ACLA has a number of new goals we would like to share with you. ACLA Goal Number 1: The first and most important ACLA goal is that you will remember to support us with your prayers on regular basis. As you pray for the ACLA, we would like encourage our members and supporters to print or write down our goals and then pray for them every week. ACLA Goal Number 2: The second is that you will help support the ACLA with a financial contribution by making a annual or monthly donation through one of our two primary donation programs by becoming a Friend of The ACLA or by Joining the ACLA. It is important to note that our major fundraising support comes directly from politically active conservative Christian individuals, families, businesses, churches and organizations. It is only with your financial support that we hope to achieve the upcoming goals.

ACLA Goal Number 3: To become an effective grass roots conservative Christian & Church lobbying, political advocacy & voters education organization, the ACLA needs to develop a core staff. The following two positions need to be filled over the next year are as follows: • ACLA Chief of Staff: This person would be responsible for the the overseeing of the hiring of the ACLA staff, scheduling of ACLA Town Hall Meetings, development of ACLA marketing and the fund raising growth of our organization. • ACLA Communications Director: This person would be responsible to release ACLA press statements and coordinate press interviews with the media, coordinate ACLA Town Hall Meeting promotions and assist with speech writing needs. To apply, please send your resume complete with a cover letter to: acla.office@americancla.org.

ACLA Goal Number 4: The ACLA is looking for Christian political office workers and volunteers who can give 2, 4 or 8 hours for one, two, three, four or five days a week to fill a number of needs our organization has to fill. Over time as our organization grows a number of these positions may become paid permanent positions. ACLA Intern & Volunteer Opportunities: ACLA Secretary • ACLA Secretarial Assistants • ACLA Town Hall Meeting Staffers • ACLA Fundraising Coordinators • ACLA Marketing Director • ACLA Speech Writers • ACLA Website Administrator. To volunteer, please E-mail a cover letter, a reference letter from your church and resume to: acla.office@americancla.org and explain why and how you could be of service to our organization.

ACLA Goal number 5: To accommodate future ACLA staff and staff volunteers, the ACLA needs assistance from a local Christian business, church or organization in the Washington, D.C. area to help us find reasonable office space for our organization. Currently the ACLA is a mobile ministry and the time has come for our organization to plant it roots in our nations capital. If you are a Pastor or Christian businessman who can help our organization with this important need in the Washington, D.C. area, please contact us by E-mail at: acla.office@americancla.org.

ACLA Goal Number 6: In the Winter and Spring, I will be hosting a number of ACLA Town Hall meetings in communities across the United States to present Recall & Repeal: The ACLA's Make Your Vote Count In 2012 Program featuring the following four ACLA multimedia presentations: A Cry For Help, The Fight For The Ten Commandments, DOMA Is The Real Thing and Thank You: The Fruit Of Your Political Witness. In addition, I will review important Abortion-End Of Life, Christian Free Speech and Marriage bills that are currently pending before the 112th U.S. Congress that need your support or opposition and how you can take legislative action that makes a difference. The ACLA is looking for sponsors who would like to schedule a Town Hall Meeting for their local community center, hotel or motel meeting room or town hall. If you would like to help sponsor and help underwrite the expenses of an ACLA Town Hall Meeting, please please contact us by E-mail at: acla.office@americancla.org. as we look forward to visiting your state and community.

ACLA Goal Number 7:  Get involved in the political process. Redress your grievances to your states elected officials in the 112th U.S. Congress by retaining the professional lobbying services of the ACLA to help you in planning and preparing your specific direct mail, telephone and/or face to face meeting lobbying campaigns on Abortion-End Of Life, Christian Free Speech and/or Marriage bills or resolutions that are currently pending in the U.S. House of Representatives and/or the U.S. Senate or both. Please visit our Lobbying Fees & Campaigns web page and order the political lobbying package you will need to help assist you as a constituent to communicate your conservative political opinions in a respectful and effective way to your states elected officials in the U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senate or both.

In conclusion, the ACLA looks forward to working with our members and supporters who desire to make a political difference to directly lobby their government officials by standing up for their conservative Christian political convictions that are guaranteed by the First Amendment in the Constitution and in that process use their political witness to influence our nation for the cause of Christ. Thank you for your support and may God continue to Bless the United States of America. © 2012 ACLA • www.americancla.org • All Rights Reserved.
