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. There is no greater asset in the battle to pre- serve the American family than an informed and involved citizenry. Thank you for choosing to be involved; we can’t do it without you.

Connie G. Mackey Vice President of Government Affairs
