A Call For A Progressive Values Summit

Conservative Values Voter Summit is Sponsored by:

Family Research Council
"The Family Research Council (FRC) champions marriage and family as the foundation of civilization, the seedbed of virtue, and the wellspring of society. FRC shapes public debate and formulates public policy that values human life and upholds the institutions of marriage and the family. Believing that God is the author of life, liberty, and the family, FRC promotes the Judeo-Christian worldview as the basis for a just, free, and stable society."

American Values
"American Values serves to remind the public of the conservative principles that are so fundamental to the survival of our nation and to bring support and ideas to policy makers and empower our elected officials to have the support they need to do what is right, noble and good."

Focus on the Family Action
"Focus on the Family Action is a cultural action organization... It will provide a platform for informing, inspiring and rallying those who care deeply about the family to greater involvement in the moral, cultural and political issues that threaten our nation."

Alliance Defense Fund
"The Alliance Defense Fund is a legal alliance defending the right to hear and speak the Truth through strategy, training, funding, and litigation."

The Family Foundation
"Building on 20 years of protecting traditional values. The Family Foundation's vision is to establish a Commonwealth of strong families who are guided by faith and protected by a principled government."
