VOTESCORECARD

Dear Voter and Friend of the Family:

Family Research Council presents our Vote Scorecard for the First Session of the 109th Congress. This Scorecard contains a compilation of significant votes representing a cross section of issues affecting the family. These recorded votes occurred in the U.S. House of Representatives during the First Session of the 109th Congress.

This scorecard shows how your elected officials voted on some of the critical issues involving the family. It is important to remember, however, that the votes you see here are only a few of the hundreds of recorded votes Members of Congress took in 2005. We have singled out for inclusion the most clear-cut, pro-family votes that came before Congress.

The election of 2004 was touted by the media as the election that the “values voter” won. President George W. Bush was returned to the White House and pro-family candidates helped increase the Republican majority in both chambers of Congress. The House recognized the renewed importance of Congress’ role in protecting the family by passing legislation that included increased fines for indecency, protections of parental rights in cases of minors crossing state lines for an abortion, elimination of the death tax, promotion of ethical stem cell research and an attempt to halt the court-ordered starvation of Theresa Marie Schiavo.

The hard fought victory of the 2004 election did not similarly translate into pro-family victories in the Senate. Bogged down by a debate over President Bush’s judicial nominees and fearful of a smaller but more vocal minority in the Senate, the Senate majority failed to act on the many initiatives taken by the House. The Senate did act on a number of President Bush’s judicial nominees, most notably Priscilla Owen, Janice Rogers Brown and William Pryor. In addition, the Senate attempted to save Theresa Marie Schiavo’s life by voice vote. In neither chamber was any action taken to protect marriage.

Due to the lack of substantial pro-family votes in the Senate we forego scoring the Senate on this Scorecard. We will encourage the Senate next session to take up the issues it has ignored in this First Session.

The votes recorded here are only part of our effort to protect the family. Only through your help as informed and active constituents, working with us in contacting your Members of Congress on pro-family issues, can we truly make headway with the increased pro-family majority in Washington. There is no greater asset in the battle to preserve the American family than an involved citizenry. Thank you for joining us in our defense of the family. We can’t do it without you. Please contact the Government Affairs office of Family Research Council for questions about the Scorecard.
