U.S. Congressman Phil Gingrey, M.D. was recognized today as a “True Blue” Member of Congress by the Family Research Council for his unwavering commitment to American families. The award honors Members of Congress who have exhibited extraordinary leadership and commitment to the defense of family, faith and freedom.
“This award is a true honor,” said Gingrey. “As a pro-life OB-GYN and, more importantly, a father and grandfather, I have been committed to protecting the traditional values so important to our community in Northwest Georgia. I will continue my vocal support of legislation that values human life, protects our religious liberties, and upholds the institution of marriage.”
Recipients of the “True Blue” award voted consistently for pro-life and pro-family issues. These votes included:
-- Pledge Protection Act -- Embryonic Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act -- Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act -- Public Expression of Religion Act -- The Marriage Protection Amendment -- Sponsorship of the Marriage Protection Amendment
