Christian Coalition of Sarasota County, as chartered by the

 Florida Christian Coalition, exists to give pro-life, pro-family

 citizens a concerted voice in government and the community

 through information and action. We have monthly meetings

 with government leaders as speakers, we conduct candidate

 forums before elections, and distribute CC Voter Guides that

 define candidates' positions on pertinent issues.

     We also provide churches and others with issues - news

 from a Christian perspective and help them conduct voter

 registration drives.

     We also stand against anti-Christian bias in the media and the culture. And, we encourage and assist in communicating with our elected officials on key moral issues.

                                VOTER REGISTRATION

    It has been reported that only about 50 % of church members are registered to vote. Further, only about 50 % of those registered actually vote! For example, in the 2006 Primary Election, only about 25 % of the registered voters in Sarasota County actually voted! That is appalling since, if most of us voted, we would be a powerful force for righteousness in our land.

     IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT CHURCHES CONDUCT VOTER REGISTRATION DRIVES. See the Link to the left. Voters must be registered to vote 29 days before November 2nd election.
