Whitfield Wins "True Blue" Award for Consistent Support of Family Values WASHINGTON, October 24 - U.S. Rep. Ed Whitfield on Tuesday was recognized as a True Blue Member of Congress by the Family Research Council (FRC) for his unwavering commitment to the family.

The award honors Members of Congress who have exhibited extraordinary leadership and commitment to the defense of family, faith, and freedom, according to FRC's new scorecard covering House votes during the 2nd session of the 109th Congress. Recipients of the award voted consistently for pro-life and pro-family issues.

"I am honored to receive this award. Supporting traditional family values is one of my highest priorities in Washington, and my voting record reflects that commitment," said Whitfield. "I will continue to fight for the values First District families hold dear."

Some of the votes used to determine the True Blue award for 2006 include:

- The Pledge Protection Act
- The Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act
- The Public Expression of Religion Act
- The Marriage Protection Amendment
- Sponsorship of the Marriage Protection Amendment

"The Members of the 109th Congress who received this award have been consistent, stalwart allies of American families," said FRC President Tony Perkins. "These Members are to be commended for supporting public policy that values human life, protects our religious liberties, and upholds the institutions of marriage and the family."
