FRC Action and CitizenLink VOTE

SCORECARD 111TH CONGRESS January 2009 — August 2010

U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate

Distribution Partners AFA Action Dear Voter and Friend of the Family:

You hold in your hands FRC Action and CitizenLink’s Vote Scorecard for the first eighteen months of the 111th Congress. Normally this document would only cover one session of each Congress. However, since this Congress should go down in history for breaking all the rules, we felt the need to review the legislative priorities for the combined 111th Congress. With the historic inauguration of Democratic President Barack Obama, those in Congress looking to pursue an agenda hostile to the family were emboldened to pass their initiatives with little regard for legislative procedure or precedent.

The first few months of the 111th Congress brought “change” just as President Obama promised, though the form it took was probably not what many voters expected. Under the President’s approving eye, Democratic Leadership in Congress moved quickly on legislation that sought to force taxpayers in the District of Columbia to pay for abortions and for needles for drug addicts; to give special recognition and treatment of homosexuals under the guise of “hate crime” legislation; and to increase funding for abortion giant, Planned Parenthood.

Internationally, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) sought to permanently allow for funding of organizations that promote or are complicit in coercive abortions and sterilizations, while also instructing the U.S. State Department to make promotion of homosexuality a top priority -- not that the current Administration needed the incentive.

Despite many Administration nominees having troubled records, the Senate also moved quickly to confirm President Obama’s top department officials and advisors. We were successful in blocking controversial nominees such as the rabidly pro-abortion Justice Department nominee, Dawn Johnson, and halting tax scofflaw, Tom Daschle, from taking over the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). However, many radical nominees made it through the confirmation process, including the most pro-abortion HHS Secretary in history, Kathleen Sebelius, and two Supreme Court nominees. This success is attributed in large part to the filibuster-proof majority held by the President’s party.

While other issues were being voted on, it was the health care issue, and the inevitable abortion funding if President Obama got his way, which took prominence. The enormity of the government takeover of health care is reflected in the unprecedented inclusion of 10 health care-related votes in this scorecard. While we saw the legislative process twisted when Senator Reid attached hate crimes to the unrelated Defense Department Authorization bill, it could not have prepared us for the questionable legislative shenanigans pulled by Democratic leaders in their Machiavellian drive to pass a health care package that included taxpayer funding of abortion, limitations on conscience, and the rationing of health care. While many Democrats and Republicans stayed true to their principles in opposing this move to use government funds to pay for abortions, the pro- abortion legislation passed after a number of legislators betrayed their pro-life roots (and campaign promises) and voted for the legislation.

This document looks at 16 votes in the House and 24 votes in the Senate from 2009 to the August 2010 recess. 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 Representatives and Senators on pro-family issues, can we defend traditional, pro-family policies 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 cannot do it without you.

Please contact the Government Affairs office of Family Research Council Action for questions about the Scorecard.
