Government Relations
Every organization, every company, and every person is impacted by the regulations, laws, and policies passed in the state capitol and local governement offices across the state. A Government Relations function is oftentimes a vital part of success in fulfilling a mission statement and goals.
“We should learn and advocate the inspired principles of the Constitution.”
“A constitution is the foundation of government. It provides structure and limits for the exercise of government powers. The United States Constitution is the oldest written constitution still in force today. Though originally adopted by only a small number of colonies, it soon became a model worldwide. Today, every nation except three have adopted written constitutions.”
“Without a Bill of Rights, America could not have served as the host nation for the Restoration of the gospel, which began just three decades later. There was divine inspiration in the original provision that there should be no religious test for public office, but the addition of the religious freedom and antiestablishment guarantees in the First Amendment was vital. We also see divine inspiration in the First Amendment’s freedoms of speech and press and in the personal protections in other amendments, such as for criminal prosecutions.”
