Family Values Report Card
Published for GOP Presidential Candidates
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 2
/Christian Newswire/ -- With seven states holding primaries or
caucuses this month and the nominees for the Democratic and
Republican parties to be decided on Super Tuesday, February 5, it's
high time that conservative voters get the facts on which candidates
will defend the natural family -- a father, a mother, and their
children.
Campaign for Children and
Families, a leading West Coast pro-family organization that
researches and advocates for the natural family, is pleased to
announce the
Report Card on the Natural Family to inform voters where the
leading Republican presidential candidates stand on protecting the
basic family unit.
"While all of the
leading Republican candidates claim to embrace family values, let
the record show that they're marching to different drummers on
marriage rights, adoption, schoolchildren, and the destructive 'LGBT'
agenda," said CCF President Randy Thomasson. "Many pro-family voters
will be surprised with the results of this carefully-researched
report card. But as always, what a candidate does means much more
than what they say. Facts are stubborn things."
"It's already
apparent that the leading Democratic candidates support nearly all
of the homosexual, bisexual, and transsexual agenda," added
Thomasson, a registered independent, whose non-partisan organization
will compare candidates from both major parties later this year.
To grade the Report
Card on the Natural Family, presidential candidates' positions were
taken from published votes, policies, and public statements and
documents. No coordination was done with any candidate or supporting
campaign. For scoring purposes, the greatest weight was given to
actual votes, actions and policies, rather than to contemporary
statements that differ from past policies or statements or
contradict previous actions.
