Our Mission 

CFBG screens and endorses candidates, measures, initiatives, referendums, amendments, policies, etc. that we believe represent the taxpayers' best interest and best good.

CFBG strive to conduct the endorsement and screening process in an objective, fair, and impartial manner. 

Periodically, members of CFBG attend various political Executive Committee Meetings and other political events.

CFBG visits candidates/officeholders web sites, facebooks, etc. for their positions on pertinent issues.  Also, CFBG collects candidates/officeholders information from radio and television debates, interviews, press conferences, reports, etc.  Community organizations, respected and esteemed community leaders, professors, other elected officials, etc. are also consulted.  Additional data is gathered from various news articles, public forums, speeches, comments, CFBG's questionnaire, questionnaires from other PAC's and community organizations, and other published documents. 

The endorsement is based primarily on the conduct of the candidate's campaign, i.e. character, conviction, courage, compassion, consistency; the issues raised (platform); past performance ( previous track record, a demonstrated commitment to the community); winnability, i.e. name i.d., funding, constituency.

Code of Coduct 

The Holy Bible is CFBG's code of conduct.  The Holy Bible is CFBG's body of rules governing procedures in its deliberative meetings.

PRECINCT CHAIRS

Precinct Chairs are the heart of the political parties.  They are the connection between candidates, elected officials, and the political parties in every neighborhood.  Precinct chairs are also voting members of the their political party's County Executive Committee.
