THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSIONCitizenLink was organized as a religious corporation on April 2, 2004, and is not organized for the private gain of any person. It is organized under the Colorado Nonprofit Corporation Act for religious purposes. CitizenLink was formed to provide an educational service to parents and others who are concerned with healthy family living, toward the end of strengthening the family in its varied dimensions. The primary means of accomplishing these goals are radio broadcasts, periodical articles, direct mail to voters, the internet and events that share the message with members, churches and the public at large in the United States. CitizenLink is active in the promotion of social welfare by addressing the Christian community and the Christian's responsibility in the public policy arena, both locally and nationally. The organization uses regular media channels, such as radio, the internet, and events, to discuss critical legislation and policy matters that significantly impact Christian worldview issues. The organization is also used as a vehicle to discuss practical means for Christians to become educated and involved in public policy matters. The organization encourages Christians to be aware of and involved in their civic duties. CitizenLink focuses on policy matters such as: state constitutional amendment to protect marriage as an institution between one man and one woman, the protection of human life in all its various forms, and the appropriate role of state and federal judicial systems as designed by the founding fathers of the United States of America.
EXPLANATION OF ORGANIZATION'S MISSIONReligious/educational/social welfare specific activities In addition to its focus on policy matters, as a religious organization, CitizenLink was formed to reflect the biblical perspective of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and provide educational services to strengthen the family.
BROADCAST ACTIVITIESTom Minnery and other CitizenLink employees have used radio and the internet to educate and discuss critical legislative matters (including how listeners and viewers can become more actively involved) important to strengthening the family and providing a cultural foundation where the Gospel of Jesus Christ can be shared and accepted freely. These broadcasts were paid for and provided by CitizenLink.
ONLINE MINISTRIESCitizenLink (www.citizenlink.com/) The CitizenLink website provides a biblical perspective on national and local news as well as offering techniques for grassroots activism. The CitizenLink Update e-mail, created by the public policy staff and our family policy council partners, offers a Christian perspective on significant current events and legislation, as well as "Action Items" that offer resources for further involvement.
ONLINE MINISTRIESBiblical Citizenship Now, more than ever, we at CitizenLink recognize the need to make our voices heard in the public square. Protecting life, marriage and religious liberties are among the front burner issues that impact the family. Our Biblical Citizenship outreach addresses these issues and more through a number of venues. In-house experts grapple with contemporary social issues and then produce educational and motivational resources for the CitizenLink audience. CitizenLink Radio (www.citizenlink.com/citizenlink-radio/) CitizenLink is now programming its CitizenLink Radio program, a daily (five days a week) two-minute radio program which delivers pro-family news and commentary from a uniquely Christian perspective. We offer context for news you hear elsewhere and share stories of interest to a Christian audience that you won't hear in the mainstream news media. These broadcasts are posted daily online. CitizenLink Report (www.citizenlink.com/citizenlink-report/) The CitizenLink Report is a weekly online video that discusses social issues. It regularly features CitizenLink experts as guests, and occasionally includes guests from other organizations. It's designed to offer insight into current events and also offers opportunity to take action on specific issues. Stoplight (www.citizenlink.com/stoplight/) Stoplight is a weekly online video commentary that offers insight on current events. It brings a creative approach to social issues and tackles headline stories as well as items that are of specific interest to a Christian conservative audience. It may occasionally include a call to action. CitizenLink Blogs (www.citizenlink.com/category/blogs/) Our blog serves to bring timely, critical analysis to bear on the most important cultural and policy issues of the day. Written and edited by our public policy analysts, the resources featured here are designed to educate and energize concerned citizens within religious, political, educational and activist spheres working to apply Christian principles to the struggles that face our nation. CitizenLink Action Center The CitizenLink Action Center webpage exists to provide constituents and other concerned citizens detailed information and a way to express their opinion on specific issues of legislation or current events by way of emails that are sent directly to elected representatives.
NEWSLETTERS AND MEMBER UPDATESMember Updates and Newsletters Tom Minnery and other CitizenLink employees develop and issue newsletters periodically during the fiscal year. The newsletters present news about how a member's gifts are helping to defend moral values and the family and assist family advocates who aim to recapture the moral and intellectual high ground in the public arena.
