"Before it is too late, we must exercise our rights as citizens to participate in politics. Silence and inaction are no longer options if we want to keep the freedom to build virtuous faith-filled families and communities into the future. A partisan political movement to carry the truths of our Western inheritance into the public discourse and parliaments is now also a necessary piece on the battlefield for the soul of our civilisation."
