It does not preclude a Christian from spreading the gospel.

No, but it creates the impression that those who sign it are doing the "most important thing" a Christian can do. Protesting an abortion clinic is easy. Standing up for traditional marriage is simple. Supporting freedom of speech is part of being an American. They are all good things, but they detract from the most important thing. Witnessing and making disciples is THE most important commission.

Are you suggesting we can only do the “one” thing.

Does any time you sign a petition, it necessarily mean that all of a sudden that thing you signed onto is the most important thing? I think it is ridiculous to say this declaration supersedes anything, especially the faith and doctrines of any of the signers.
