America's Christian Responsibility

For nearly 17 years, FRC Action has maintained a vigilant presence on Capitol Hill, helping to shape the national dialogue on every issue affecting the American family. As the legislative arm of Family Research Council, FRC Action has championed the gifts of life, faith, and marriage in the public square by connecting policy makers with information vital to their decision-making process. By mobilizing everyone from parents and pastors to students and state leaders, FRC Action continues to protect what America stands for: policy founded on principle.

For over 30 years, Christians across America have relied on American Family Association (AFA) and its founder, Don Wildmon, for information and inspiration in resisting the moral decline and secularization of our nation. Now, three decades later, as the moral decline permeates every area of our culture, AFA continues to be a voice of Christian activism on a broad range of issues. Not with grand visions of power and influence, but with stalwart faithfulness, inspired resourcefulness and nimble flexibility, AFA is a resolute voice of Christian dissent. AFA is a multi-faceted organization that works hard on many fronts to promote and defend the sanctity of family, of marriage, and of life itself.

Since 2004, Focus on the Family Action has provided a platform for informing, inspiring and rallying those who care deeply about the family to greater involvement in the policy process. The organization does this chiefly through educating voters, grassroots lobbying and encouraging Focus constituents to more directly challenge politicians.

American Values is a non-profit organization committed to uniting the American people around the vision of our Founding Fathers. It reminds the public of the conservative principles that are so fundamental to the survival of our nation and to bring support and ideas to policy makers and empower our elected officials to have the support they need to do what is right, noble and good. American Values is deeply committed to defending life, traditional marriage, and equipping our children with the values necessary to stand against liberal education and cultural forces.

Family Research Council (FRC) was founded in 1983 as an organization dedicated to the promotion of marriage and family and the sanctity of human life in national policy. Through books, pamphlets, media appearances, public events, debates and testimony, FRC's team of experienced policy experts review data and analyze proposals that impact family law and policy in Congress and the executive branch. FRC also strives to assure that the unique attributes of the family are recognized and respected through the decisions of the courts and regulatory bodies.

The Heritage Foundation is a unique institution-a public policy research organization, or "think tank". We draw solutions to contemporary problems from the ideas, principles and traditions that make America great. We want an America that is safe and secure; where choices (in education, health care and retirement) abound; where taxes are fair, flat, and comprehensible; where everybody has the opportunity to go as far as their talents will take them; where government concentrates on its core functions, recognizes its limits and shows favor to none. And the policies we propose would accomplish these things. Our vision is to build an America where freedom, opportunity, prosperity and civil society flourish.
