Christian Grassroots organizations play an influential role in the crafting and implementation of legislature, especially on the local and state levels. Because of the nature of a grassroots organization, all the members are motivated by a desire to correct and improve upon the current legislation currently enacted.
Furthermore, because organizations like PatriotsForIdaho are founded on Christian values and moral standards, it creates a consistency across all the laws proposed or pushed for. This means that Christian organizations have a unique position to push for legislature because of their love for truth and politics. They are not invested in politics for politics’ sake, but rather because they want to see their local and state laws reflecting Christian values.
So what are these organizations supposed to do? Because of their connection with the surrounding community, Christian organizations can garner support and rally people for or against proposed legislation. Prayer meetings, peaceful protests, appearances at town halls, and other things all play a part in demonstrating to the authorities the general sentiment of the people. Grassroots organizations provide an excellent banner and name to follow behind because they have clearly defined motivations and hierarchies. Christian organizations therefore must direct the people, assist them in the knowledge and potential direction of legislature, and if need be, defend the people and fight for them against a corrupt local or state government.
