MCCL members making a
difference
MCCL
has always been a leader in promoting protective legislation at the
capitol. We have been successful because of our strong grassroots
support.
An important part of that
support has been our members influence in electing lawmakers who support
the pro-life view.
PACs are about pooling
resources so they can be focused and make a real difference on the
issues important to its contributors.

Do you
want to make a difference
in this
year’s election but don’t know how?
Below are 25 ideas to get you started.
Many of them can be done with minimal effort, but if all of MCCL’s
members would do them, the impact would be immeasurable. Perhaps you can
start with some of the "I only have 5 minutes!" ideas. These are
things that take very little time or that can be integrated into your
daily life. Then you can move on to some of the (slightly) more
time-consuming items.
No matter
what you do, if you do something, you will make a difference!
I only have 5 minutes!

take a little longer, but because it is so important, it has to be
