When I was in charge of the Christian Coalition I was available to mobilize grass roots support for somebody.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm involved in issues, and issues are about grass-roots politics.
In any grass-roots campaign, building an ongoing base of support is as important as winning the ultimate goal.
I love being a part of something that is grassroots, and you can see the actual changes, the effect of what people do.
I'm on record as being understood to be a supporter of a reformed establishment, in which other Christian denominations, and other faiths, play a major part.
The last thing I would want to do is to create the impression that sectarianism came from only one side of the community.
I was raised in a very activist household so that I grew up surrounded by people who were activists.
I had a mother who got involved in grassroot politics when I was growing up. I watched her have agency and become political in a very male-dominated world.
I've tried to be active in civic organizations as well as the Church.
I'm not a grassroots organizer; that is clear. I believe in a division of labor. I'm not trained to organize the grassroots, and grassroots has to come from the grassroots.
Anytime there's an actual grassroots movement that isn't funded by people trying to create a grassroots movement, I find that interesting.
