The Christian Coalition:

A Small Grassroots Organization or A Large Political Threat?

     Founded in the aftermath of television evangelist Pat Robertson's 1988 campaign for the presidential nomination, the Christian Coalition is a dynamic pro-family grassroots organization.  Robertson founded the Christian Coalition (CC) a non-partisan, issue oriented organization, which believes that through effective grassroots organization and encouraging activism by conservative Christians, they can bring the United States back to its Judeo-Christian roots.

If we act now, we have a tremendous opportunity to change this country's state for the better."
     The CC of Mecklenburg County says, "Our purpose is to keep voters informed of local issues, as well as state and national issues from a pro-family perspective.  We hope and pray you will find these pages informative and motivate you to take action.  It is only through God's mercy that those who oppose his laws and commandments are able to exercise their will."
     Pat Robertson himself has stated the mission of the Christian Coalition as; "to mobilize Christians-one precinct at a time, one community at a time-u...
