The ACLJ is a wonderful organization that takes action to protect Christian rights. They also provide great information to help you take action as well.

About the American Center for Law & Justice
The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) focuses on constitutional law and is based in Washington, D.C. The ACLJ is specifically dedicated to the ideal that religious freedom and freedom of speech are inalienable, God-given rights. The Center’s purpose is to educate, promulgate, conciliate, and where necessary, litigate, to ensure that those rights are protected under the law. The organization has participated in numerous cases before the Supreme Court, Federal Court of Appeals, Federal District Courts, and various state courts regarding freedom of religion and freedom of speech.
Welcome from Jay Sekulow
The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) focuses on constitutional law and is based in Washington, D.C.
Through our work in the courts and the legislative arena, the ACLJ is dedicated to protecting your religious and constitutional freedoms.
Our dedication to protecting your freedoms hasn’t gone unnoticed. The Chicago Tribune says ACLJ has “led the way” in Christian legal advocacy. BusinessWeek hailed ACLJ as “the leading advocacy group for religious freedom.” Even Time Magazine notes Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow is among the “25 Most Influential Evangelicals” and lists the ACLJ as “a powerful counterweight” to the ACLU.
In addition to providing its legal services at no cost to our clients, the ACLJ focuses on the issues that matter most to you – national security, protecting America’s families, and protecting human life. You can learn more about our work through Jay Sekulow Live! — our daily radio broadcast and through ACLJ This Week — a nationally broadcast weekly television program.
While there is a wealth of information about our work online, you can also receive up-to-date developments from the ACLJ on the most critical issues facing our country today by signing up for our e-mail list.
Thank you for your interest in the American Center for Law and Justice.

American Family Association

Great organization that is very well known for their Christian activism.
From their website:
Our Purpose
The American Family Association represents and stands for traditional family values and exists to motivate and equip citizens to reform our culture to reflect Biblical truth on which it was founded. We believe that God has communicated absolute truth to man through nature and the Bible, and that all men everywhere and at all times are subject to His authority. Therefore, a culture based on Biblical truth best serves the well-being of our country as evidenced by the vision of our forefathers as set forth in the Declaration of Independence.
To that end, AFA spurs activism directed to:
* Preservation of Marriage and the Family
* Decency and Morality
* Sanctity of Human Life
* Stewardship
* Media Integrity
AFA is also on the cutting edge of media technology. In mid-2009, AFA became one of the first Christian ministries to employ Internet television by launching two channels, the AFA Channel and Home School Channel, in conjunction with Sky Angel IPTV, a global Christian-based Internet television service. Both channels broadcast wholesome and/or educational programming with a decidedly Biblical worldview. Several months earlier, AFA launched AFRTalk – daily 24-hour radio and television programming comprised of one-to-two hour segments – hosted by professional broadcasters whose mission is to inform and engage viewers on issues important to Christians and families. In addition, AFA also communicates through several web sites, keeps supporters informed through timely action alerts, and broadcasts music and inspirational programming through its nearly 200 station radio network. It also provides daily news through OneNewsNow.com, AFA Report, and the AFA Journal.
We believe in holding accountable companies that sponsor programs attacking traditional family values. We also believe in commending those companies that act responsibly regarding programs they support.
It is AFA’s goal to be a champion of Christian activism. If you are alarmed by the increasing ungodliness and depravity assaulting our nation, tired of cursing the darkness, and ready to light a bonfire, please join us. Do it for your children and grandchildren.
AFA Statement of Faith
1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
4. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
