FRC Action PAC, the Family Research Council's legislative affiliate, has endorsed Virginia Foxx's campaign for Congress in North Carolina's 5th Congressional District.

"The American family is under attack by out-of-touch liberals with a radical social agenda," Foxx said. "I'm glad organizations like the Family Research Council have joined me on the front lines of the fight for strong family values and limited government. I am honored to receive their support."
"Families are the basic building block of a free and democratic society. If we allow strong families to be undermined, undervalued and underequipped for success, we risk losing the most powerful anti-tyranny weapon that has ever existed--the family. That's why I'll continue to fight for conservative principles, like the right to life, freedom of religion and conscience protections for all Americans. These foundational values are given by God and enshrined in our Constitution and must be defending against the scorched earth, coercive tactics of Washington liberals."
In their endorsement, FRC Action's Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin praised Foxx for fighting for "Constitutional limited government, individual liberties and for strong family values." Boykin also thanked Foxx for her "commitment to ensuring the rights of conscience are not infringed and our freedom to live out our beliefs remains secure."

The group promotes America'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.
