“Operation: Values Matter”—The gathering and data entry of contact information for Values Families to be used solely for the Values Advocacy Council and its affiliates for purposes of alerting Values Families when a governmental body is contemplating an action or acts contrary to the best interests of Values parents, families, and children. Additionally, we are able to electronically distribute a personalized Values Voter Guide to each Operation Values Matter registrant in each election.

“Projected Need”—Cost for collection, entry and maintenance of data is approximately $35,000 annually.

“Advertorial Program”—Publication of ‘editorial type’ ads in the San Jose Mercury News and other local publications. Our opportunity to bring truth to the public on issues facing the community, i.e., “Say It Isn’t So!”…little known existing and proposed State laws that affect our families, the culture of life and the preservation of marriage.

Project Need: Cost for preparing and publishing an “advertorial” is approximately $5,500.
