WASHINGTON, Feb. 22, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- A movement is underway to put lawmakers on notice that the so-called "silent majority" will no longer remain silent on issues of religious freedom and the erosion of America's traditional values as set forth by its founding fathers 250 years ago.

More than one million Americans will soon deliver that message to Congress and national policy makers by way of a petition. The aforementioned "silent majority" -- most often referring to the uncountable tens of millions of Christian-faithful who follow their religious beliefs and principles- are letting their voices be heard.

The Petition

The man behind the petition is Damon Davis, CEO of the Legacy Worldwide Foundation based in Atlanta, Georgia. Davis says, "I no longer believe we can simply speak to our nation's leaders about these issues. I believe the time has come for Capitol Hill to hear the roar from their constituents who vote for them in good faith." Davis' Legacy Worldwide Foundation is a faith-based, humanitarian organization which the evangelist leader says is positioned to" ... temper a reasonable balance of America's traditional values with those being proffered by a liberal, elitist agenda."

Davis is calling on people of faith to join together to send a message to Washington lawmakers that a great number of those whom they count on for votes are not happy with the way things are going. To add a name to the growing petition, simply visit: www.thisamericanlegacy.org.

Davis laments, "Taking the Ten Commandments off public walls, removing God from our cherished icons and, most recently, the U.S. Air Force removing 'God' from their logo because of pressure from a group calling itself The Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers makes me want to shout 'What in the world in happening?'"

"I pledge to raise one mighty voice with this petition, and I look forward to personally delivering it to every Executive, Judicial and Legislative branch of government. Persons of great influence have agreed to join me hand-in-hand to do so. I am asking for your help in this righteous endeavor."

Mr. Davis adds, "It's time we spread the word aggressively and proactively that it's not just America's economic health that is in grave danger; it is also the health of America's moral values."

In addition to the one-million signature drive, Davis is also promoting a program that will provide Bibles to Congress, the Senate, and the executive leadership in Washington, as well as every fighting man and woman in the U.S. military.
