  • The United States House of Representatives
    THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES “Tough but doable” was the way Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Executive Director Howard Wolfson described the Democrats' chances of taking back the House of Representative last Friday. Wolfson had a rough week. Charlie Cook, the respected non-partisan political analyst who is listened to by political reporters, and maybe more importantly, by political PACs, wrote that the math just didn’t seem to be there for the Democrats to pick up the net of six seats they’d need to regain control of the House. During the spring and summer, Cook believed that the Democrats could overcome "the math” with their strength on domestic issues. But, despite a slight edge (48% Democrat- 46% Republican) in the “generic ballot question" (“If the election were held today for Congress, for whom would you vote?”) Democrats haven’t put the issues together in a way to produce the tide it would take to move enough races to produce a Democratic House. Last summer, not only Cook, but top Democrats believed that the Enron, WorldCom and Arthur Anderson scandals, along with the plummeting stock market, had created a climate that could sweep the Democrats back. At one point they even fantasized that all 40 or so competitive races could break their way. But, by August, guns had replaced butter as the overarching national political theme, and the Democrats lost that “mo.” A driving force behind the vote on the Iraq resolution was burning desire by the Democratic leadership to get the focus back on the economy. Indeed, the day after the vote, House Democratic Leader Dick Gephardt and Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle held a high profile economic forum as a signal that the economy was the main concern of Democrats.

  • Assembling, Amplifying, and Ascending Recent Trends Among Women in Congress, 1977–2006
    Assembling, Amplifying, and Ascending recent trends among women in congress, 1977–2006 The fourth wave of women to enter Congress–from 1977 to 2006– was by far the largest and most diverse group. These 134 women accounted for more than half (58 percent) of all the women who have served in the history of Congress. In the House, the women formed a Congresswomen’s Caucus (later called the Congressional Caucus for Women’s Issues), to publicize legislative initiatives that were important to women. By honing their message and by cultivating political action groups to support female candidates, women became more powerful. Most important, as the numbers of Congresswomen increased and their legislative inter- ests expanded, women accrued the seniority and influence to advance into the ranks of leadership. Despite such achievements, women in Congress historically account for a only a small fraction—about 2 percent—of the approximately 12,000 individuals who have served in the U.S. Congress since 1789, although recent trends suggest that the presence of women in Congress will continue to increase. Based on gains principally in the House of Representatives, each of the 13 Congresses since 1981 has had a record number of women Members. (From left) Marilyn Lloyd, Tennessee; Martha Keys, Kansas; Patricia Schroeder, Colorado; Margaret Heckler, Massachusetts; Virginia Smith, Nebraska; Helen Meyner, New Jersey; and Marjorie Holt, Maryland, in 1978 in the Congresswomen’s Suite in the Capitol—now known as the Lindy Claiborne Boggs Congressional Reading Room. Schroeder and Heckler co-chaired the Congresswomen’s Caucus, which met here in its early years.

  • Vote Scorecard Dear Voter and Friend of the Family
    F AMILY RESEA R CH COUNCIL 107th CONGRESS U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate Vote Scorecard Dear Voter and Friend of the Family, Family Research Council presents our vote scorecard for the 107th Congress. This score- card contains a compilation of significant votes representing a cross-section of issues affecting the family that occurred in the U.S. House of Representatives during the Second Session of the 107th Congress in 2002, and votes that occurred in the U.S. Senate during the entire 107th Congress (2001 and 2002). This scorecard serves as an important tool in showing you how your elected officials voted on some of the most important issues facing the family. It is important to remember, however, that the votes you see here are only a few of the hundreds of recorded votes which members of the House of Representatives took in 2002 and members of the Senate took during the two year period spanning 2001 and 2002. With this in mind, we have tried to single out for inclusion the most clear-cut, pro-family and anti-family votes that came before Members of Congress. This scorecard marks the end of the 107th Congress but it does not mark the end of our work on the issues explained inside. Our efforts to defend and protect faith, family and freedom continue. While we maintain a constant watch of what is taking place in our nation’s capitol, we rely upon you, informed and active constituents, to work with us in contacting your members of Congress on pro-family issues.
