About
Karen & CRI
Karen England is the
Executive Director of the Capital Resource Institute (CRI). The
CRI's mission is to educate and strengthen families and we do that
by working to influence public policy. It's imperative that citizens
join with us in staying up to speed on current legislation affecting
family values!
As your
watchdog for family values here in Sacramento, CRI is committed
to keeping you informed about important legislation.
At CRI, we do more than just inform; we provide leadership and
alert you as to how to make a real difference and have an effect
in your community, culture and on the legislative process. Our
programs are designed with you in mind.

As a

churches may and may not do, and also church bulletin

This year CRI is hosting its first lobby day on Tuesday, March 15th. |
Citizens will be able to
lobby their legislator against Senate Bill 48 by Mark Leno of
San Francisco. SB 48 would require instruction in social
sciences, such as geography, history, economics, communication,
psychology, political science and more, to include the role and
contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender
Americans.
This bill requires
LGBT indoctrination for all public school students from
kindergarten through 12th grade.
|
|
We
must let our elected officials know we do not want our young
children indoctrinated with such material while at school. |
A Day at the Capitol
also gives citizens an opportunity to understand the issues of
the day while equipping them in order to be able to clearly and
effectively communicate their political perspective in front of
members of the legislature or their staff.
This day will empower
people who have never walked into a legislator's office and help
educate repeat attendees on this year's legislative prospects.
If you want to learn
the how government works and how you can effectively make a
difference, please attend Day at the Capitol. |
