STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:
The Massachusetts Faith-in-Action Team (MASS FIAT*) is a collaboration of grassroots groups dedicated to preserving traditional values based on Judeo-Christian principles by educating and mobilizing citizens of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to vote for pro-family, traditional values candidates.

This e-group is established to facilitate inter-group communication and resource sharing among MASS FIAT group members. Western MA and Central MA groups are currently represented here. We will invite groups in other regions of the state to join and participate in the e-group as we learn of their interest in participating under the FIAT umbrella.

Carolyn Abbott, e-group Moderator

MISSION:
MASS FIAT’s mission is to work with local congregations, faith-based, and citizen action groups to inform and educate the citizens of the Commonwealth on the critical moral, social and political issues of our time so we can support and elect representatives at all levels of government who espouse Biblical values and who will craft legislation based on Judeo-Christian principles.

Our emphasis is on holding accountable the institutions of representative government -- in particular our elected representatives -- that are failing to exercise their constitutionally-mandated responsibilities and oversight in dealing with the substantive moral issues that powerfully impact and determine the course and direction of society and life in the United States.

The complete document detailing MASS FIAT's mission statement, goals and objectives is available to all members to review, download and print out in the “Files” section of the e-group.
