Chapter Nuts and Bolts Petition Drives: Signing on the Line Does Save Lives And Helps Your Chapter Thrive.(National Right to Life Committee)(Brief Article)
Ever wonder how you can find new members to join the efforts of your chapter? More likely, that is a constant question your chapter faces.
Petition drives are sometimes overlooked, underrated, or given short shrift. In fact they are among the most useful of ALL pro-life tools.
We are a people-power Movement. No people, no power. Petitions are an invaluable aid in recruiting new members, identifying pro-lifers in your community, and educating the community on a salient issue facing our elected leaders.
NRLC prints and provides petitions either supporting pro-life legislation or opposing pro-abortion legislation free of charge. (See pages 16-17.)
The lists afford pro-life individuals a great opportunity to circulate within the general public and to acquaint a large number of people who are concerned about the life issues with your organization's existence.
The names, addresses, and phone numbers gained on petition lists should be kept and utilized as potential pro-life supporters and those concerned about the issue in general.
Your chapter will also gain credibility by participating in this sort of grassroots lobbying.
