How Do You Sign Your Name to Promote Life?

Do you feel daunted by the complexities of employing social media technology for pro-life advocacy? Here is a simple way that anyone with an email account can begin to reach out to others with a life-affirming message: add a pro-life email signature to your account. It is free. It is easy. It will reach anyone who opens an email sent by you.

What is an email signature? It’s simply the way you sign your name at the end of your email message. An automated email signature will be stored with your email account and attached at the end of each message you send or forward, without you having to retype it each time. For example, the automated email signature used by The Hausvater Project reads as follows:

The Hausvater Project
127 Long St.
Mankato, MN 56001
http://www.hausvater.org/
www.facebook.com/hausvaterproject
The Hausvater Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation promoting a biblical vision for family, church, and society in the spirit of the Lutheran confessions.
You can support our work every time you search the internet or shop online: www.hausvater.org/support

Notice that it includes hyperlinks to the organization’s website and Facebook page, as well as a slogan identifying the organization’s mission.

Of course, an individual can use an email signature just as well as an organization. Consider these possibilities (the names are fictitious, but the messages are real):
