CTV's Mission
Citizens for Traditional Values (CTV) is a nonprofit civic league working on the grassroots level to encourage an active and informed citizenry in the State of Michigan. CTV seeks to broaden public understanding of the importance of personal freedom and traditional family values; and to work for the adoption of laws and public policies which reflect those values. This is accomplished by educating, networking, and mobilizing the pro-life, pro-family community.
In the Capitol
Now, more than ever, Lansing needs a consistent voice representing traditional and family values. Citizens for Traditional Values is taking on that responsibility.
Right now there is a unique window of opportunity to influence legislators and impact public policy in Michigan. Building upon the relationships that we have developed with many of the legislators and staff over the years, CTV represents you with a strong presence in the halls of state government. This access enables us to contend for the values which are so important for the preservation of our society.
Influencing Public Policy
An important part of our program is monitoring proposed legislation and interacting with state legislators and other government leaders. Our experienced and trained staff provides position papers to legislators on issues, and testifies at public hearings and committee meetings providing an intelligent, informed viewpoint.
Communicating with You
Legislative briefings, conferences, issue alerts, and a timely, informative newsletter are all a part of our effort to incorporate you into the lobbying process. Keeping you informed of key votes and updating you on legislative initiatives will enable you to effectively communicate with your state legislators.
In Your Community
The precinct delegate position is one of the most important
positions in politics. Precinct delegates determine the leadership and shape
the values of the party they serve.
They choose their party's nominees for the statewide offices of Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, State School Board, State Supreme Court, and the governing bodies of the state's universities.
The precinct delegate is an entry level position exerting influence at the most fundamental levels of our democracy.
Through our Voter Registration program we organize drives in conjunction with churches and other civic groups in order to increase the voting power of the pro-family community. Many races are decided by very narrow margins. The importance of every vote cannot be overstated.
Informing the electorate on the issues and about the candidates running for political office is a very important function of CTV.
Our Political Action Committee actively recruits, endorses, and supports candidates who meet our criteria based on traditional family values.
Our informative voter guides assist voters in making intelligent choices on candidates.
