MYRICK WINS FRC’S "TRUE BLUE" AWARD FOR CONSISTENT SUPPORT OF FAMILY
 
(Washington, D.C.) – Today, Representative Sue Myrick (NC-9) has been recognized for her unwavering commitment to the family by the Family Research Council (FRC). The FRC has awarded her with the the annual "True Blue" award.

The award honors members of the House and Senate who have exhibited extraordinary leadership and dedication to the defense of family, faith, and freedom. According to FRC’s new scorecard covering House and Senate votes during the 108th Congress, recipients of the award voted for pro-life and pro-family issues on a variety of occasions.

These votes included:

  • banning partial-birth abortion,
  • funding abstinence and marriage promotion programs,
  • preventing abortions in military hospitals,
  • encouraging faith-based initiatives,
  • calling for votes on President Bush’s judicial nominees,
  • banning human cloning,
  • repealing the death tax,
  • prohibiting U.S. funding of international abortions,
  • promoting abstinence as part of global AIDS relief.

"The members of the 108th Congress who received this award have been consistent, stalwart allies of American families," said FRC President Tony Perkins. "They are to be commended for their adherence to the belief that strong marriages and families are essential aspects of a resilient society."
