'Activist pledge' drive
RenewAmerica staff
Dear Friend of RenewAmerica,
For several months, RenewAmerica has quietly posted a "Pledge for America's Revival" that grassroots citizens can sign in support of bedrock principles and ideals that are critical to our nation's survival.
The Pledge can be found at AmericasRevival.com — the "activist arm" of RenewAmerica. The Pledge is reminiscent of the final words of the Declaration of Independence:
With the July 4th Tea Parties coming up across America, we'd like to quickly expand the ranks of committed patriots at America's Revival over the next three weeks, so we can better support the many Tea Parties — which need your help, your word-of-mouth promotion, and your attendance, as well as that of your patriotic friends and relatives.
The Tea Parties are a great way to get involved in saving our country — and of meeting like-minded citizens who, like you, want to do what they can to steer our nation away from Barack Obama's socialism. Please get involved and bring as many others with you to the Tea Parties as you can!
To do our part to provide supporters for the Tea Parties on July 4th and beyond, we've set a goal of 10,000 signers at the Pledge for America's Revival. That's an ambitious goal — but with your help, we can meet it!
If we can reach this goal — or come reasonably close — the grassroots revolt against the Marxist policies of the Obama administration will immediately expand with an influx of new leaders and supporters ready and willing to make a difference in taking back our country.
We need your activism — now!
What you can do —
Sincerely,
Stephen Stone

Dear Friend of RenewAmerica,
For several months, RenewAmerica has quietly posted a "Pledge for America's Revival" that grassroots citizens can sign in support of bedrock principles and ideals that are critical to our nation's survival.
The Pledge can be found at AmericasRevival.com — the "activist arm" of RenewAmerica. The Pledge is reminiscent of the final words of the Declaration of Independence:
-
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor. (emphasis added)
With the July 4th Tea Parties coming up across America, we'd like to quickly expand the ranks of committed patriots at America's Revival over the next three weeks, so we can better support the many Tea Parties — which need your help, your word-of-mouth promotion, and your attendance, as well as that of your patriotic friends and relatives.

We need your activism — now!
What you can do —
- Send a personalized e-mail to all those who are interested in reclaiming our country, and invite them to read both the Pledge and the supportive comments at the Signers page at AmericasRevival.com.
Emphasize that signing the Pledge does not obligate the signer to support a particular candidate, political party, or organization. The Pledge is simply a common-sense commitment to help return America to its founding principles, through reliance upon God — much like the pledge the signers of the Declaration of Independence made to each other.
- Hold an informal "cottage meeting" in your home and go through the AmericasRevival.com website with your friends and neighbors. Play a patriotic video or two from the website; listen to the patriotic songs (including the "American Tea Party Anthem" by Lloyd Marcus, who writes a column for RenewAmerica); read the About page; review the Activism page; visit the Discussion Board/organizing page; consider together the kinds of wonderful comments Pledge signers have posted, etc.
Be sure to familiarize yourself with the website beforehand, so you can guide others through it.
After giving your guests a "tour" of the website, you could lead them in a lively discussion of the urgent needs of our seriously-endangered republic — and read with them a few important passages from the Bible, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution.
And don't forget to serve light refreshments!
Download the new Pledge flier at the website and hand it out to your friends and associates — with a word of encouragement for them to visit AmericasRevival.com, sign the Pledge, and get involved in fulfilling their duty as citizens.
Be sure to send an e-mail link to the new flier to everyone you think might be interested.
- Encourage family members to follow your example by signing the Pledge and multiplying your efforts in this God-centered cause.
- Share the Pledge for America's Revival with local church leaders and ask for their help in encouraging their congregation to sign the Pledge and work together to preserve and strengthen our nation.
- Write letters to editors of newspapers and other publications describing the non-partisan, Bible-centered efforts of America's Revival and inviting readers to examine the Pledge and other resources at AmericasRevival.com.
- Call radio talk shows and give out the same information and invitation.
- Be sure to share any news you have about upcoming Tea Parties in your area. You can post dates and locations at the Discussion Board under State Activism. Spread the word!
- Take any other initiative you'd like to further the biblical, constitutional, Declaration-based cause of America's Revival, in ways that suit your time and means.
Sincerely,
Stephen Stone
