   CHRISTIAN ACTION FACT SHEET
        February 1994

This fact sheet lists legislative
and corporate attacks on traditional
family values. The purpose is to
inform you as a voter and a consumer
so that you can pray; then act as
you feel God is leading you. Full
text of sources is available on
request.

     YOUR 1994 ELECTION BUDGET

During the next few months, you will
have many opportunities to invest
small amounts of time to signifi-
cantly impact our nation. How much
time should you budget between now
and next November?

* Register to vote - 15 minutes
* Vote in March 8 Primary - 1 hour
* Attend Precinct Convention at your
  polling place immediately after
  polls close March 8 - 1 to 2 hours
* Attend Senate District Convention
  March 26 - 4 hours
* Vote in city and school board
  elections this Spring - 1 hour
* Vote in General Election Nov 8 - 1
  hour
* Work for a candidate in each of
  Primary, General and city/school
  board elections - 1 hour per week
* Write 4 letters during 1994 on
  issues that concern you - 2 hours

For about a 30 hour investment (six
minutes a day), you can be among the
1% actively determining the direct-
ion this country takes in 1994. Who
makes those decisions? It's the
people: those who simply show up at
decision making time. You! If you'll
just invest a little time.
