U.S. Congressman Paul C. Broun, M.D. Receives "True Blue" Award for Support of Pro-Life and Pro-Family Issues

Press Release

U.S. Congressman Paul C. Broun, M.D. today announced that he has been designated a "True Blue Member of Congress" by Family Research Council Action and Focus on the Family Action for his support of issues that strengthen traditional family values. Congressman Broun's selection as an award recipient is based on his voting record on pro-family issues. The "True Blue" award is given to Members of Congress who show commitment to the defense of family, faith and freedom as evidenced by the score they generate on the FRC Action scorecard.

"It is an honor to be recognized by the Family Research Council and by Focus on the Family as a ‘True Blue Member of Congress'," said Broun. "I am committed to working on behalf of pro-life and pro-family issues that I believe are fundamental to our nation's continued well-being. These issues, which include advancing the principle of religious liberty, preserving the sanctity of marriage, and defending the rights of the unborn, define who we are as a people and a nation. As long I as am privileged to serve the people of the 10th District, I will continue to be a champion for these traditional values."

One of the votes which earned Congressman Broun the "True Blue" award was his vote in opposition to the "Employment Non-Discrimination Act" (ENDA), legislation which sought to give preferential legal considerations to homosexuals in the workplace. A link to Congressman Broun's floor speech discussing his opposition to ENDA is included below for your convenience.
