With policies emanating from Washington DC that challenge our historic understanding of religious liberty and force millions of Americans to violate their religious beliefs—the implications of this election are hard to overstate. So which path will Americans choose, and more importantly, how should Christians be involved? 1.

Voting our values is one important and tangible way that we bear witness to our faith and serve our fellow man. To help you better understand the policies affecting your faith, family and freedom, and the many candidates who stand poised to play a role in shaping those policies, we are pleased to present our 2012 Values Voter Handbook. We designed this resource to provide you with all the information you need to cast an informed, values based vote this election cycle for those candidates running for federal office. This booklet combines both our Presidential Voter Guide and our Congressional Vote Scorecard with documentation to show where the major candidates stand on the issues and how your elected representatives voted in the 1st session of the 112th Congress. 2. Vote Your Values Up and down the ticket, men and women are seeking your vote for local, state and federal offices.But do they merit your support? Before you prayerfully cast your vote, join with Americans from across the nation and declare that you will be a Values Champion this fall, and only support those candidates who share and advocate for your cherished values: Protect Life ~ Honor Marriage ~ Respect Religious Liberty Make the Values Champion pledge by going online at iVoteValues.org.

ML Strategies has compiled recent polling and punditry on the 2012 Presidential, Senate, and House races. The race to the White House grows closer as Election Day approaches. In the past week of polling, roughly half have shown a slight Obama lead while the other half has Romney slightly leading. The control of the Senate remains uncertain: with eight races remaining pure tossups, it is not clear which party will be the majority in the 113th Congress. The House will likely remain in Republican control with anywhere 226 and 228 seats already solid, likely, or leaning Republican seats; 218 are needed for a majority.

Intraparty Organization in the U.S. Congress by Ruth Frances Bloch Rubin Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Eric Schickler, Chair The purpose of this dissertation is to supply a simple and synthetic theory to help us to understand the development and value of organized intraparty blocs. I will argue that lawmakers rely on these intraparty organizations to resolve several serious collective action and coordination problems that otherwise make it difficult for rank-and-file party members to successfully challenge their congressional leaders for control of policy outcomes. In the empirical chapters of this dissertation, I will show that intraparty organizations empower dissident lawmakers to resolve their collective action and coordination challenges by providing selective incentives to cooperative members, transforming public good policies into excludable accomplishments, and instituting rules and procedures to promote group decision-making.

  • Vote Scorecard
    FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL ACTIOn VOTE SCORECARD 109TH CONGRESS 1ST SESSION U.S. House of Representatives 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.
