<p>iVoteAmerica&#8217;s inclusion of this recommendation and links to the resources provided by FRC is not an endorsement of all positions held by FRC but simply our attempt to provide our readership with additional voter information.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://frcaction.org" target="_blank">FRC website</a> posts the following information about itself.</p>
<blockquote><p>
FRC Action (formerly American Renewal), the non-profit and tax-exempt legislative action arm of <a href="http://www.frc.org/" target="_blank">Family Research Council</a>, was founded in 1992 to educate the general public and cultural leaders about traditional American values and to promote the philosophy of the Founding Fathers concerning the nature of ordered liberty.</p>
<p>FRC Action is a 501(c)(4), non-profit education and lobbying organization based in Washington, D.C. FRC Action is dedicated to preserving and advancing the interests of family, faith, and freedom in the political arena.</p>
<p>FRC Action has underwritten the costs of video campaigns on public policy issues, supported advocacy advertising on these issues, and provided the nation&#8217;s political parties with information on traditional American values.</p>
<p>FRC Action seeks to fortify the traditional foundations of civil society through efforts to educate, inform and influence elected officials in support of the country&#8217;s historic ideals of equality under the law, and the unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness on which the nation was founded.
</p></blockquote>
