The decals are static cling and may come off in a car wash. Please consider removing beforehand.

Apply to a clean window. Misting with water before placing, then wiping with a dry cloth until all water is gone will assist in the decal staying in place.

We will replace the first decal if it is lost.

WE NEED YOU

Each member of COLF probably joined because he felt that something needs to be done to bring our country back to being the strong world leader we once were. Our integrity, reputation, and trustworthiness have suffered. Each of us has felt the need to do something to improve our country. 

Therefore, the List of Volunteer Opportunities below was some suggestions. Please feel free to add more ideas. This is only a start. I am confident that you will find more than one for which you are an exact fit.

Use your caring smile and your confident handshake (or a hug) to influence. You may be the perfect person to influence others (and their votes) in your social sphere. Many of us are uncomfortable about stepping into a conversation opening where we could easily express an opinion held. Just say it kindly and respectfully. From that point you’ve given someone a new thought, or you’ve started a quiet conversation of questions or comments. You might say more, or say nothing else.  Read the situation and decide. We are not here to indoctrinate, but to inform others of the Truth. As Americans we each have this responsibility, and the duty to vote.

Perhaps in your social sphere (a family member, neighbor, friend), you know someone very well who may not care to choose a candidate or take time to go to the polls. Share your reasons for voting, your passion for this country, or your concerns for the future of your friend’s or neighbor’s grandchildren, or his health, wealth account, or his freedom. 

These folks know you and respect you. You are known by those around you for being sensible, caring, sincere, and quietly correct. You are whom your family, neighbors, and friends trust, so use your influence.  You have little to loose by making a gentle comment. Keep it light and respectful. End the subject when it seems to be a good idea.

Use your cell phone to call or text your legislators to express your views about a topic. Phone calls are easy, quick, and get highly effective responses because legislators (local, state, and federal) are always dependent on votes.  Your cell phone call could have a huge impact on a senator or representative, even as much as 10,000 times greater than your one vote. Usually cell phone calls are free as well. 

Use your cell phone to call old friends, or far away family, or next door friends to catch up, and ask about whether they need a ride to register or vote. Some older folks feel far removed from world events and politics. It can be confusing and troublesome. Kind words to explain the issues or the candidates’ positions may be much appreciated. Remind folks to get out and vote.  Check to see who needs a ride. You might also arrange a ride through COLF.

More Volunteer Opportunities—Use your car, your influence, your outgoing personality, your artistic talent, your dedication to our country’s ideals, your intellect to explain truths that resonate with those who feel confused. Bake and share cookies decorated with the word “Vote” or "Trump-Vance" on them!
