WE HAVE BEEN CHANGING POLICY FOR 30 YEARS
AND WE KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO NOT BE HEARD
We are led by John Graves, a lawyer, an influencer in politics, a business entrepreneur, and a Christian voice in the confusing world of politics.
We got into politics because we were sick and tired of our voice not being listened to in all areas of policymaking: local, state, and national. And unlike most other groups, we are mobilizing your voice, not with our message, but yours. We help you use your voice for the change you care about most.
