Truth & Liberty Coalition: ‘Show Up’ Locally if You Want Change and Keep Lawmakers Accountable
Educating people of faith to engage in public affairs is important for maintaining biblical values in our society.
I started showing up to meetings and letting my voice be heard.”
WOODLAND PARK, COLORADO, UNITED STATES, May 12, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- U.S. Rep .Lauren Boebert, R-CO, joined Andrew Wommack and Richard Harris on this week’s Truth & Liberty livecast.— U.S. Rep .Lauren Boebert, R-CO.
The Republican Colorado congresswoman and strong Christian conservative told worldwide listeners to get involved in government at the local level. “That is the most important thing to do,” said Rep. Boebert.
Rep. Boebert discussed a number of issues, including how to act locally and see change nationally.
The U.S. representative from Colorado was not always interested in politics, but after working her way from welfare recipient to small-business founder through grit and a strong faith in God, she began to be concerned about the values that mattered most to her. She decided to get involved at every opportunity.
“I started showing up to meetings and letting my voice be heard,” said Rep. Boebert. “I didn’t always know all the details to speak to, but I knew what I wanted to see and the direction – what I wanted to speak against and for.”
When she heard an anti-Second Amendment presidential candidate was making a stop in Colorado, she drove three hours to be there. The video of her debate with Beto O’Rourke on gun rights soon went viral and gave then-citizen Boebert her first national exposure.
In 2020, she ran a grassroots campaign against a five-term incumbent and was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives as a Christian conservative Republican.
According to Rep. Boebert, keep lawmakers accountable. The best way to impact legislation and make your voice heard on important issues is to call your lawmakers’ offices directly, she recommended.
“You may not talk to the representative or the senator directly yourself, but I promise you their staff is communicating those phone calls that are coming through,” she said.
“I know that those phone calls, they are discussed in congressional offices,” said Rep. Boebert. “I hear about the phone calls that take place – we take tallies of the topics that come in – and we respond to those.”
Through their Monday livecasts with distinguished and topical guests like U.S. Representative Boebert, the Truth & Liberty Coalition is working to equip people to stand for Christian values on principles in the culture.
“Educating people of faith to engage in public affairs is important for maintaining biblical values in our society,” said Richard Harris, executive director, Truth & Liberty Coalition.
Concerned citizens are encouraged by the Truth & Liberty Coalition to call the offices of Democrat Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema and tell them to deliver on their promises to protect the Senate filibuster.
The filibuster requires 60 votes (including at least 10 Republicans) for legislation to be passed.
“Without the filibuster to stop pieces of radical Democrat legislation from passing the Senate and going to the White House, bills like the For the People Act (federalizing elections) would be signed into law,” Harris said.
The two Democrat senators who have publicly stated they would keep the filibuster are Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema.

“We find often that Christians don’t know where to start,” said Harris. “Our goal is to educate audiences and connect with resources and groups across the nation to help them impact their own spheres of influence.”
