Washington, DC -- Congressman John J. Duncan, Jr. (R-TN) was recognized as a “True Blue” Member of Congress this week by the Family Research Council (FRC) and Focus on the Family for his record of supporting America’s families. The award honors Members of Congress who exhibit extraordinary leadership and commitment to the defense of family, faith, and freedom.
Duncan scored 100% on the FRC’s new scorecard covering the House of Representatives for the 1st session of the 110th Congress. The scorecard rates Members of Congress on their votes on sixteen pro-life and pro-family votes.
Duncan said, “These are issues which are important to many East Tennessee families, and I am honored to receive this recognition.”
Some of the votes included in FRC’s scorecard were:
Defending Restrictions on Funding International Abortion Groups
Human Cloning Prohibition
Embryonic Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act
Protect Abstinence Program for HIV/AIDs Prevention
Restrict Funding Planned Parenthood Amendment
Prohibit Implementing the “Fairness Doctrine”
“The Members of the 110th Congress who received this award have been consistent, stalwart allies of American families,” said FRC Action 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.”
“I applaud these Members for defending policies that have been under attack over the past year, and voters should be encouraged by their commitment to protecting and strengthening the family.”
