Kim Miller arrived on the Rightside Media set with a laugh about needing more grandkids, but the conversation quickly turned to a pressing concern: the silent vote of millions of Christian women could be the most dangerous decision of the year. Miller, who leads America’s Women and America’s Women of Action, framed voting as a stewardship of God‑given influence, urging listeners to see the ballot as a tool for protecting families and values.

Faith‑Based Civic Engagement: The “You Plus Two” Campaign

At the heart of Miller’s outreach is the “You Plus Two” pledge, a simple yet powerful call for women to commit to voting and then recruit two more women to do the same. The campaign lives on the website americaswomen.org, where participants enter basic contact information to receive reminders and resources. Miller explained, “We’re getting people to go to americaswomen.org and just sign up, meaning you commit to vote and then you have to give us a little bit of info so we can send you some voting reminders.” The approach is designed to cut through busy schedules, offering a non‑partisan framework that still aligns with Christian values.

The hosts highlighted how the pledge dovetails with existing concerns about low turnout among self‑identified Christians. Citing George Barna research, Miller noted that “78 million Christians, self‑proclaimed Christians in 2024 who did not vote.” By turning that statistic into a rallying point, the campaign aims to reverse a trend that could otherwise leave “children literally being poisoned in schools” by policies the group opposes.

Practical Tools: Sample Ballots, Donuts, and “Ballot Parties”

Beyond the pledge, Miller and the hosts offered concrete tactics for making voting accessible. Listeners are directed to Ballotpedia to print a sample ballot, a step Miller described as essential for “talk[ing] it through” with friends. The conversation also featured a light‑hearted suggestion to host “ballot parties” with coffee, donuts, or even cocktails, turning the act of voting into a communal event. One host mused, “We could have a pre‑vote gathering… I’ve got ideas so that we can kind of streamline it to us.”

These gatherings are meant to foster discussion without dictating a candidate, emphasizing the principle of “vote your values.” Miller stressed, “We’re not telling you who to vote for, we’re saying, vote your values, but do you know who stands for your values?” By providing resources and a supportive environment, the initiative seeks to lower the barrier for first‑time voters and re‑engage those who have drifted away from the political process.

The Moral Imperative: Voting as Stewardship

The discussion repeatedly returned to the theological framing of voting. Miller argued that abstaining is equivalent to “burying your talent, the resource that God has given you to impact your neighbors.” She quoted a commentator, Josh Howerton, saying a vote is “not a Valentine; you’re voting for the person who can further God’s mission on earth more, or at least hold back the evil.” This moral lens positions the ballot as a tool for preserving cultural integrity against what the speakers described as “gender insanity” and “propaganda” in schools.

By casting voting as a stewardship issue, the conversation aligns with broader Christian teachings about loving one’s neighbor. As Miller put it, “If you truly love God, your vote is just a stewardship. You are stewarding your power to impact culture for good.” This framing seeks to shift the narrative from partisan allegiance to a duty rooted in faith, encouraging women to see civic participation as an extension of their spiritual commitments.

Building a Nationwide Network: From Alabama to Arizona

While the dialogue was lively, it also mapped out concrete expansion plans. Miller expressed enthusiasm for establishing a chapter in Alabama. She also highlighted the dual nature of the organization’s online presence: the 501(c)(3) site americaswomen.org offers non‑partisan resources, while americaswomenofaction.com provides more targeted, partisan research, especially for states like Arizona.

The goal is to have “a handful of women who are leading that charge, really putting together voter guides and things specific to your state.” “Parties with purpose” across multiple states, creating a grassroots network that can adapt to local political landscapes while maintaining a unified moral vision.

Looking Ahead: The Impact of Mobilizing Christian Women

The conversation concluded with a sobering reminder: non‑participation is, in effect, a vote for the status quo. One host summed it up, “Your non‑vote is a vote, and it’s a gamble of whoever else is going to show up.” By framing the upcoming election as a decisive moment for families, schools, and communities, Miller and the hosts aim to convert that urgency into action.

As the RightSide Media audience reflects on these ideas, the broader significance becomes clear. Mobilizing a demographic that historically skews Democratic but remains under‑represented at the polls could reshape local and national outcomes. Whether through “You Plus Two,” ballot parties, or faith‑based stewardship, the initiative seeks to turn belief into ballot‑box power.
