We are a group of young people who believe that as Americans it is our job to defend our freedom through the rights provided to us by the Constitution of the United States of America. One way that we can do that is by giving others a way to learn about and help candidates that we believe line up with our Christian values. Another way we can defend our freedoms is by giving other voters information on how they, as constituents, can influence their elected officials to vote in a way that protects their faith, families, and freedom.

Faith Burnside
National Director My name is Faith Burnside, I live on a small farm in Indiana with my family, where we raise any number of various types of animals. I am the fourth of six kids and was home schooled the entire way through school. Politics began to call to me when I was 16 since then statesmanship has become my passion and, I hope, my future. Outside of politics I enjoy hanging out with my siblings, nephews and niece, observing Independent-Christian filmmaking, Star Trek, reading, farming, history and playing Dutch Blitz. I love to help people (particularly young people) realize that they have huge potential and that it can be used for Gods glory. Favorite food: Ice Cream and or pizza Something I want to do: Work in the West Wing Favorite book: I can't choose a favorite book, but I would have to say the Chronicles of Narnia are right up there. Somewhere I want to go: Space. (I've dreamed of being an astronaut since I was a little kid) |

Victory Rigdon
Director of State Coordinators
My name is Victory and I'm a sophomore college student currently pursuing a degree in public relations. I'm also a weekend personality at the local Christian radio station and I spend much of my time there. In my spare time, I read books and browse Pinterest looking for my next project. The second oldest of 5 children, I live in north Texas with my family. Having been involved in getting conservatives elected for nearly the past 10 years, I started with phonebanking. Since then, I have spent many hours campaigning for and supporting conservative candidates. I love to travel and try to make people smile everywhere I go.
Favorite food: anything that tastes good within a close proximity. But fried chicken is amazing. Also, sweet tea...but not the fake stuff. Texas knows how to make it.
Something I want to do: I wish to have a green thumb but the best so far is a potted cactus that somehow remains alive (update: It died)
Favorite book: It's hard to pick a favorite book. Perhaps a favorite series would be more easily decided. I'm a sucker for romance and suspense.
Somewhere I want to go: Ireland.
