United States Rep. Virginia Foxx (N.C.-5) was one of 69 Members of Congress to receive the Family Research Council’s “True Blue Award” for achieving a 100 percent voting record on the issues important to American families.
“It is an incredible honor to receive the True Blue Award,” said Rep. Foxx. “We have addressed a number of important issues in the 109th Congress, and I am especially proud of my votes to protect the values of my constituents.”
According to the Family Research Council, the “True Blue Award” is presented to Members of Congress who demonstrate extraordinary integrity and character in their defense of families and the sanctity of human life through their votes.
“Rep. Foxx is to be commended for supporting public policy that values human life, protects our religious liberties, and upholds the institutions of marriage and the family,” said Tony Perkins, President of Family Research Council.
A few of Rep. Foxx’s votes that helped her earn the True Blue Award include:
•Voting to protect the rights of faith-based organizations to take religion into account in their hiring practices
•Voting to prohibit the transportation of minors across state lines to obtain abortions without parental consent
•Voting to permanently repeal the death tax
•Voting against funding human embryonic stem cell research
•Voting to protect the public display of the 10 Commandments
•Voting to protect the American Flag from desecration
“Values voters should be encouraged by Rep. Foxx, who has shown a commitment to protect and strengthen the family,” said Perkins.
