Pregnancy Care Centers Receive More Grant Money
from Sales of "Choose Life" Plates
Are you "licensed" yet?
Choose Life Wisconsin license plates have been available since late October 2017. Currently there are over 1500 of these plates on cars in The Badger State. Sales of the plates have resulted in over $65,000 being distributed to some twenty-five pregnancy care centers that are the front-lines of the pro-life movement. This week, another round of grants will be distributed to nineteen of these life-saving, women-helping organizations. The $32,500 being given out this week brings the total to just under $100,000 in a little over two years.
CLICK HERE to see photos from this week's check presentations by WFC president Julaine Appling.
Wisconsin Family Council and Pro-Life Wisconsin partner to underwrite all the administrative costs of Choose Life Wisconsin, which allows us to give every penny that comes from the sale of the plates to Wisconsin’s incredible pregnancy care centers. For information on how you can get one of these distinctive plates, click HERE or call 888-378-3795.
We have set our goal HIGH because we know you have our back!
As you know, we are asking 300 people across the state of Wisconsin to invest $1000 between now and December so that Wisconsin Family Action has all we need to complete our election work because, as you may already suspect, this type of work is NOT included in our annual budget.
So far we have received numerous generous donations and we are so very grateful. We are well on our way to making our goal! If you haven't already given a donation in support of our work, we invite you to partner with us as part of "Gideon's Army!" Call us at 888-378-7395 or CLICK HERE to make your secure donation TODAY!
Postcard Writing Parties are
NOW under way in Wisconsin!
THE GOOD NEWS! Thank you, thank you! To date we've had a GREAT response to our postcard writing opportunity that serves to get out the vote on November 3, General Election day in Wisconsin and encourages Badger State voters to re-elect President Donald Trump.
AND MORE GOOD NEWS! We just got 50,000 more postcards delivered to our office from our awesome printer! Now we need even MORE volunteers to help us get these postcards out across the state to encourage highly targeted conservatives to vote in the November 2020 election.
AND EVEN MORE GOOD NEWS! It won't cost you a DIME! We will supply the postcards, the stamps, the mailing addresses and a small host/hostess gift as a token of our thanks! You supply your family or friends, some handwriting labor (and maybe some coffee, tea and treats!) and have lots of fun all while making a big impact in the upcoming election.
NOTE: Each kit will contain 200 postcards, 200 stamps, a mailing list with names and addresses and brief sample messages to be written on the postcards.

Grandparent In Today's Culture
Bridging the Gap
From The Legacy Coalition:
Grandparents are incredibly important to their grandkids.
Grandparents are uniquely positioned to spiritually influence their grandkids.
Grandparents have a Biblical mandate to do so.
Most Christians agree with these statements about grandparents, but so little is being done to challenge and equip this huge group — 30 million strong — of potential influencers. Yes, the grandparenting relationship has incredible potential for discipleship, but it is unrecognized and under-resourced. For example, many churches have a family ministry, which focuses on parenting, but nothing on grandparenting. And grandparenting is too often associated with a seniors ministry, which results in younger grandparents being overlooked and ignored. Resource providers, like speakers, authors, and Christian ministry organizations, largely neglect this audience as well. Finally, Christian grandparents themselves get caught up in a “retirement culture” that pushes them to pursue their own pleasure rather than invest in their grandchildren.
Grandparents, click HERE to learn more about how to unleash your full potential. (Tip: Don't miss out on the awesome video right on the home page!)
