FFRF’s ‘Secular values voter’ campaign continues
Continuing its “I’m Secular and I Vote” advertising campaign, FFRF is placing full-page ads in dozens of newspapers around the country, as well and highlighting FFRF members on billboards in time for Constitution Day, Sept. 17.
In each ad, FFRF has been featuring one member per state (or couples) with photos taken in front of their respective state Capitol buildings, and a description of the members.
The ad encourages secular voters to join FFRF and also links results of FFRF’s secular value voters survey (ffrf.org/valuesvoter).
FFRF thanks participants and donors to its advertising fund for making possible this campaign.
