Below you will find the bills CWA supports, and one very urgent bill that CWA opposes. Remember that prayer is key! Pray for our lawmakers to make righteous decisions! Bills that CWA supports: HCR3015, a resolution directing Congress to refrain from passing the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) in its entirety, or any individual component of it. I personally took this resolution, after it passed the North Dakota House of Representatives, and presented it to our Senators in Washington DC. They need to be fully aware of the wishes of their constituents to protect our laws and the sanctity of life of North Dakota citizens. It is urgent that this also passes the North Dakota Senate. It will be heard in Senate Human Services on Tuesday, March 17.

  • 2019 NORTH DAKOTA LEGISLATIVE REPORT CARD 66Th LEGISLATIVE SESSION DEAR FRIENDS
    2019 NORTH DAKOTA LEGISLATIVE REPORT CARD 66th LEGISLATIVE SESSION DEAR FRIENDS, I am pleased to share this report card for the most recent North Dakota state legislative session. Here is a snapshot of how lawmakers voted on key social and moral legislation related to the right to life, education, family, marriage and other issues. Guided by our mission of building a state where God is honored, religious liberty flourishes, families thrive, and life is cherished, this report card focuses on seven bills/resolutions (hereafter collectively called bills) in the North Dakota Senate and House of Representatives during the 2019 Legislative Session. All these are included in this report card. A bill is passed by a simple majority in the Senate (24 votes out of 47 senators) and the House (48 votes out of 94 Representatives.) Lawmakers earned percentage grades ranging from 0% to 100%, based on how they voted on the relevant bills coming before their chamber. This report card is not an endorsement of any candidate or political party. It does not measure any lawmakers’ integrity, commitment to their faith, work ethic, or rapport with Family Policy Alliance of North Dakota. It is only a report on how each lawmaker voted. One of the most common questions people ask is, “How did my legislator vote?” This report card should help you answer that question. Sincerely, Mark Jorritsma Executive Director, Family Policy Alliance of North Dakota CONTENTS Introduction Letter 2 About the Report Card 3 Bill and Resolution Descriptions 4 Legislator Votes 5-7 – 2 – ABOUT THE REPORT CARD Family Policy Alliance of North Dakota selected votes on key legislation from the North Dakota Senate and North Dakota House of Representatives based on our core belief in promoting, protecting, and strengthening traditional family values.
