Send a Note of Encouragement to National Day of Prayer Chairperson Shirley Dobson
Mrs. Dobson, wife of Dr. James C. Dobson, serves as chair of the National Day of Prayer Task Force, a privately funded organization whose purpose is to encourage participation on the National Day of Prayer. Through the efforts of her team, more than 35,000 prayer gatherings are conducted across the country. Several million people participate every year in this call to prayer for our nation, its leaders and citizens. Shirley Dobson is a named defendant in the Freedom From Religion Foundation’s lawsuit. |
Sign the Petition to President Barack Obama
President Barack Obama will have the opportunity to support the National Day of Prayer by issuing a presidential proclamation – an action taken by every president in the Oval Office since 1952, when Congress passed a law declaring it a national event. Let President Obama know that the National Day of Prayer is important to you and to our country. Encourage him to make that proclamation. |
