The Florida Family Policy Council (FFPC) is currently looking for churches and individual volunteers to assist us in distributing educational Voter Guides across Florida in preparation for 2016’s upcoming elections. Each election cycle, FFPC produces educational Voter Guides free of charge to distribute, primarily to churches, in local areas around the state, so that voters can make more informed choices when casting their ballot. We are at a pivotal point in our nation and we have the opportunity to make a huge impact in the direction of our country this year. Please consider joining us in this important effort!

In 2016, there will be three elections:
* March 15: Florida Presidential Preference Primary
* August 30: Florida Primary (for all offices with the exception of President)
* November 8: General (all offices, including President)

Florida Family Policy Council will produce and distribute separate voter guides for each of these elections.

Several opportunities for volunteers include, 1) Storing voter guides at “Hub Locations” such as a church or office; 2) “Hub Captains” who coordinate and oversee countywide distribution of voter guides; 3) “Church Liaisons” who are contacts at local churches who work with the Hub Captains to identify how many guides their specific church will need; 4) “Drivers” who will physically distribute voter guides to participating churches. In some cases, one person may hold more than one position listed above.

Would you please consider assisting us this year by replying to this email or calling us at your earliest convenience? Call us at 407-251-5130 or email info@flfamily.org.

Florida Family Policy Council would be grateful for any and all assistance that you can provide for this year’s voter guide efforts.

TALLAHASSEE, FL – Today, the Florida Family Policy Council (FFPC) announced that a movement of pro-life Floridians, represented and led by FFPC President John Stemberger and co-sponsored by the Students for Life’s Defund Planned Parenthood Bus Tour will hold a major rally at the Florida State Capitol. The rally, which will be held on Monday, December 7th, will bring together pro-life Floridians from all over the state to demand action from Governor Rick Scott by ending the state’s Medicaid and Title X contracts with Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider.

The capitol rally heralds the next step in a statewide and national campaign to raise awareness of an issue that has received national attention. Mr. Stemberger sent a letter requesting action to the Governor and his office.

“Governor Rick Scott has the clear legal authority to terminate Medicaid contracts with unqualified providers of services, and he now also has a moral, ethical and fiscal duty to do so given Planned Parenthood’s egregious conduct which includes waste, abuse, and potential fraud,” said Stemberger. “In both his gubernatorial campaigns, Rick Scott campaigned that if elected he would be a pro-life Governor. We would now like him to take action like a pro-life Governor. The pro-life and pro-family community that supported the governor in the last two election must have their voices heard on the urgency of this matter, and we hope this rally will finally force the governor to listen.”

Details of the capitol rally are as follows:

WHO: Pro-Life Taxpayers and National Speakers (TBA)

WHEN: Monday, December 7, 2015 | Rally: 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET |
