PUBLIC POLICY --"A POPULAR GOVERNMENT, WITHOUT POPULAR INFORMATION, OR THE MEANS OF ACQUIRING IT, IS BUT A PROLOGUE TO A FARCE OR A TRAGEDY...A PEOPLE WHO MEAN TO BE THEIR OWN GOVERNORS MUST ARM THEMSELVES WITH THE POWER WHICH KNOWLEDGE GIVES." -- JAMES MADISON, CHIEF ARCHITECT OF THE U.S CONSTITUTION AND U.S. PRESIDENTOVERVIEW: WHEN FRC WAS ESTABLISHED ALMOST 30 YEARS AGO, THERE WERE WOEFULLY FEW VOICES ADVOCATING FOR THE PRIMACY OF THE FAMILY AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL. LIBERAL POLICY MAKERS, ACTIVIST JUDGES, AND MUCH OF THE MEDIA AND ACADEMIA CONSIDERED TRADITIONAL MORAL VALUES NOTHING MORE THAN THE VESTIGES OF A BYGONE ERA. IN 1983, FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL WAS ESTABLISHED IN THE HEART OF WASHINGTON, D.C. WITH THE MISSION TO EDUCATE AMERICANS ABOUT THE CENTRAL ROLE THE FAMILY PLAYS IN THE NATION'S WELL-BEING. FRC WOULD SERVE AS A STRONG REJOINDER TO THOSE WORKING TO UNDERMINE THE FAMILY AND THE JUDEO-CHRISTIAN VALUES UPON WHICH OUR NATION WAS FOUNDED AND WOULD DEMONSTRATE THE VERACITY AND EFFICACY OF THOSE VALUES IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY. ALTHOUGH FRC HAS WORKED SUCCESSFULLY TO TEMPER THE PREVIOUS POLICY OF UNRESTRICTED ACCESS TO ABORTION ON DEMAND, THE TRAGEDY OF ABORTION-ON-DEMAND IS WITH US. LIBERAL POLICY MAKERS AND JUDICIAL ACTIVISTS CONTINUE TO ASSAIL THE INSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE, AND LIBERAL SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS OUTNUMBER AND OUTSPEND FRC. WITH THE EXPANSION OF SAME-SEX "MARRIAGE" AS WELL AS OBAMACARE BECOMING LAW, THERE HAS BEEN A REDUCTION OF AMERICANS' RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND CONSCIENCE RIGHTS. FRC HAS BECOME A LEADER IN EXPOSING THIS SEVERE PROBLEM, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO DEFEND AMERICANS' FUNDAMENTAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM. WITH FAITH THAT RIGHT MAKES MIGHT, AS ABRAHAM LINCOLN ONCE SAID, FRC CONTINUES TO ADVANCE A PRO-FAITH, PRO-FAMILY, AND PRO-FREEDOM AGENDA WITH GREAT EFFECT.FRC'S POLICY ANALYSTS DEVELOP RESEARCH PAPERS, LEGAL BRIEFS, AND REGULAR EMAIL PUBLICATIONS ON A WIDE VARIETY OF FAMILY ISSUES. THESE INCLUDE BOOKLETS, THE BI-WEEKLY SOCIAL CONSERVATIVE REVIEW, OPINION EDITORIALS, PAMPHLETS, ISSUE BRIEF PAPERS, LECTURE SUMMARIES, FROM THE PODIUM PAPERS, AND ISSUE ANALYSIS PAPERS. FRC'S POLICY PUBLICATIONS HAD OVER ONE MILLION ONLINE VIEWS IN 2013.FRC'S POLICY EXPERTS TESTIFIED BEFORE COMMITTEES OF STATE LEGISLATURES IN SUPPORT OF PRO-LIFE LEGISLATION. FROM 2011-2013, FRC ASSISTED WITH OVER 200 SUCCESSFUL PRO-LIFE BILLS AT THE STATE LEVEL. FRC'S ANNA HIGGINS, J.D. SHAPED THE PUBLIC DISCOURSE IN MAJOR PRINT AND BROADCAST MEDIA ON HOT TOPICS INCLUDING PLAN B, ABORTION KERMIT GOSNELL'S TRIAL, AND THE FEDERAL PAIN-CAPABLE UNBORN CHILD PROTECTION ACT. FRC SHAPED THE NATIONAL DEBATE OVER THE BOY SCOUT POLICY ON ALLOWING OPEN HOMOSEXUALS INTO SCOUT TROOPS. WE CONTINUE TO MONITOR AND RESPOND TO THE AFTERMATH OF THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA'S DETRIMENTAL RULING.IN 2013, FRC BECAME THE NATION'S LEADING DEFENDER OF RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN THE MILITARY. THE MILITARY IS INCREASINGLY SUPPRESSING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN POLICY AND IN PRACTICE. THAT'S WHY WE'VE MADE RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN THE ARMED FORCES A TOP PRIORITY. FRC HAS REDEFINED THIS ISSUE AND THRUST IT TO NATIONAL PROMINENCE. IN APRIL, FRC LEARNED OF A PENTAGON MEETING WITH MILITANT ATHEIST MIKEY WEINSTEIN, WHO DEMANDED THAT CHRISTIANS IN THE MILITARY BE COURT-MARTIALED FOR SHARING THEIR FAITH. FRC'S KEN KLUKOWSKI, J.D. BROKE THE NEWS IN A COLUMN ON BREITBART.COM, WHICH WAS PICKED UP BY THE DRUDGE REPORT AND WENT VIRAL. IT WAS SHARED BY NEARLY 1.4 MILLION FACEBOOK READERS AND BECAME THE MOST READ COLUMN IN BREITBART'S HISTORY REACHING NEARLY 20 MILLION PEOPLE. WE KNEW WE STRUCK A NERVE WHEN THE PENTAGON'S PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICE CALLED WITHIN MINUTES OF KEN'S ARTICLE HITTING THE DRUDGE REPORT, DEMANDING THAT WE BACK OFF. WE DIDN'T BACK DOWN: WITHIN DAYS, NEARLY 170,000 PEOPLE SIGNED A PETITION TO DEFENSE SECRETARY HAGEL FRC'S FASTEST GROWING PETITION EVER. AS A RESULT, FRC PUBLISHED A FIRST-OF-ITS KIND REPORT, "A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER: THE THREAT TO RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN THE MILITARY." WE LAUNCHED A NEW WEBSITE, MILITARYFREEDOM.ORG, AND FORMED THE RESTORE MILITARY RELIGIOUS FREEDOM COALITION. FRC'S LT. GEN. (RET.) JERRY BOYKIN HAD A POSITIVE MEETING WITH SENIOR AIR FORCE OFFICIALS AT THE PENTAGON IN OCTOBER. FRC'S DR. DAVID PRENTICE HELPED WRITE AND THEN TESTIFIED ON A GROUND-BREAKING BILL IN KANSAS THAT CREATED THE MIDWEST STEM CELL THERAPY CENTER AT THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. AS THE WORLD'S FIRST COMPREHENSIVE STEM CELL CENTER, IT WILL TREAT PATIENTS USING ADULT STEM CELLS, TRAIN DOCTORS, CONDUCT RESEARCH AND CLINICAL TRIALS, EDUCATE THE PUBLIC AND CREATE A GLOBAL DATABASE OF AVAILABLE THERAPIES FOR USE BY PHYSICIANS AND PATIENTS. THE KANSAS STATE SENATE PRESIDENT APPOINTED DR. PRENTICE TO THE CENTER'S ADVISORY BOARD. IN AUGUST, FRC'S KEN KLUKOWSKI, J.D., FILED AN AMICUS BRIEF ON BEHALF OF 85 MEMBERS OF CONGRESS IN A LANDMARK U.S. SUPREME COURT CASE DEALING WITH LEGISLATIVE PRAYER, TOWN OF GREECE V. GALLOWAY. THIS CASE WILL DETERMINE 1) THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF PRAYER AT GOVERNMENTAL ASSEMBLIES, AND POSSIBLY 2) THE UNDERSTANDING AND APPLICATION OF THE CONSTITUTION ESTABLISHMENT'S CLAUSE. KEN'S BRIEF ARGUES FOR ABANDONING THE CURRENT FLAWED PROHIBITION OF ANY GOVERNMENT ACTION THAT GIVES THE IMPRESSION OF SUPPORTING RELIGION. WE SHOULD RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL INTENT OF THE ESTABLISHMENT CLAUSE, WHICH PROHIBITS GOVERNMENT FROM COERCING A PERSON TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY RELIGIOUS ACT AGAINST HIS CONSCIENCE. A FAVORABLE RULING WILL HAVE FAR-REACHING CONSEQUENCES FOR PUBLIC EXPRESSIONS OF FAITH.FRC IS ONE OF THE LEADING ORGANIZATIONS EMPLOYING MANY OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL MARRIAGE EXPERTS TO DEFEND THE GOD-ORDAINED INSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE. SENIOR FELLOW FOR POLICY STUDIES, PETER SPRIGG, MADE NUMEROUS TV APPEARANCES AND AUTHORED A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPELLING ISSUE BRIEFS AND OP-EDS. FRC IS A LEADING MEMBER IN COALITIONS DEALING WITH THE COMMON CORE PUBLIC SCHOOL CURRICULA, PORNOGRAPHY AND HOMOSEXUALITY.FRC'S MARRIAGE AND RELIGION RESEARCH INSTITUTE (MARRI) PRODUCES PIONEERING SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH THAT DEMONSTRATES THE IMPORTANCE OF TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE AND INTACT FAMILIES FOR A STRONG SOCIETY. THE MAPPING AMERICA PROJECT MAKES THIS CASE IN COMPELLING FASHION USING FEDERAL SURVEYS AND PROVIDING DETAILED REPORTS FOR POLICY MAKERS, PASTORS AND CONCERNED CITIZENS. MARRI PUBLISHES THE INDEX OF FAMILY BELONGING AND REJECTION AND VARIOUS STUDIES AND POLICY PAPERS SUCH AS "FAMILY INTACTNESS: INFLUENCE ON MAJOR STATE SOCIAL POLICY OUTCOMES, "MARRIAGE & LABOR SLUMP," AND THE "EFFECTS OF DIVORCE."FRC ORGANIZED AND LED ITS 5TH ANNUAL NATIONAL CALL2FALL ON JUNE 30, LEADING AN ESTIMATED OVER 1.74 MILLION CHRISTIANS IN PRAYER FOR OUR NATION'S SPIRITUAL REVIVAL AND HEALING, BASED ON GOD'S CALL TO REPENTANCE IN 2 CHRONICLES 7:14. PRAYER AND REPENTANCE ON BEHALF OF OUR NATION REMAINS A VITAL PART OF FRC'S MISSION. FRC'S POLICY EXPERTS ARE FREQUENTLY INVITED TO PROVIDE A PRO-LIFE, PRO-FAITH PERSPECTIVE IN THE MEDIA. THEY HAVE ALSO TESTIFIED BEFORE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEES AT THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVEL, HELD MEETINGS AT THE VATICAN, PARTICIPATED IN THE WORLD CONGRESS OF FAMILIES, AND REPRESENTED FRC AROUND THE WORLD.

GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS--THE GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS (GA) TEAM PLAYS BOTH DEFENSE AND OFFENSE ON OUR ISSUES IN A BOLD AND BIPARTISAN MANNER. WE'RE EXPANDING FRC'S INFLUENCE AS THE LEADING PRO-FAMILY VOICE IN WASHINGTON, D.C OUR EXPERTS EDUCATE LEADERS IN CONGRESS, THE ADMINISTRATION, GOVERNORS, STATE LEGISLATORS AND OUR GRASSROOTS NETWORK, UTILIZING FACE-TO-FACE MEETINGS, EXPERT TESTIMONY, PRESENTATIONS, BRIEFINGS AND EMAIL ALERTS. GA DEFENDS THE SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE AND THE INSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE, UPHOLDS RELIGIOUS LIBERTY, OPPOSES JUDICIAL ACTIVISM, PRESSES FOR TAX RELIEF FOR FAMILIES, COMBATS PORNOGRAPHY IN PRINT AND ON THE INTERNET, SUPPORTS PARENTAL CHOICE IN EDUCATION, AND SPEAKS FOR THE FAMILY THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. WE WERE ADVOCATES FOR, AND THE HOUSE PASSED, THE HISTORIC "PAIN-CAPABLE UNBORN CHILD PROTECTION ACT." ITS SUCCESS SET THE STAGE FOR A DRAMATIC NATIONAL DEBATE OVER A SIMILAR BILL IN TEXAS, RESULTING IN A BAN ON ABORTING PAIN-CAPABLE UNBORN CHILDREN IN THAT STATE. SEVEN OTHER STATES HAVE PASSED SIMILAR LEGISLATION. WE EDUCATED THE PUBLIC ABOUT AMENDMENTS ON SPENDING BILLS TO BAN FUNDING OF ABORTION. THE HOUSE PASSED AMENDMENTS TO: BAR FEDERAL CONTRIBUTIONS FOR ANY FEDERAL EMPLOYEE TO HEALTH PLANS THAT INCLUDE ABORTION COVERAGE; ADD TWO NEW PRO-LIFE PROVISIONS TO THE STATE AND FOREIGN OPERATIONS APPROPRIATIONS BILL; AND ADD PROVISION TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY APPROPRIATIONS TO PREVENT ABORTION FUNDING FOR IMMIGRATIONS AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT (ICE) DETAINEES.FRC IS RESPONDING TO RECENT SETBACKS FOR MARRIAGE (INCLUDING THE SUPREME COURT'S RULING IN UNITED STATES V. WINDSOR) WITH EFFORTS TO PROTECT THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE. WE'RE WORKING TO PROTECT RELIGIOUS INDIVIDUALS AND ENTITIES THAT BELIEVE IN TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE FROM DISCRIMINATION BY THE IRS OR OTHER FEDERAL AGENCIES; AND BASE THE FEDERAL DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE ON THE MARRIAGE LAWS OF INDIVIDUAL STATES.AS OBAMACARE'S IMPLEMENTATION DREW CLOSER, FRC PUSHED HARD TO CURB OR PREVENT ITS ATTACKS ON LIFE AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. WE CONTINUED TO EXPOSE THE LAW'S CONSCIENCE-VIOLATING IMPLICATIONS FOR EMPLOYERS, EMPLOYEES, AND MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS. IN PARTICULAR, WE INFORMED CONSTITUENTS AND THE PUBLIC ABOUT REP. DIANE BLACK'S (R-TN) "HEALTH CARE RIGHTS OF CONSCIENCE ACT." THIS BILL WOULD PROTECT THE RELIGIOUS LIBERTIES OF EMPLOYERS, WHO ARE FORCED BY OBAMACARE TO OFFER INSURANCE PLANS THAT COVER "FREE" ABORTION-INDUCING DRUGS, CONTRACEPTIVES AND STERILIZATIONS.FRC'S GA TEAM IS PURSING PROTECTIONS FOR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN THE MILITARY. WE SUPPORTED AMENDMENTS THAT CREATE STRONGER RELIGIOUS LIBERTY PROTECTIONS FOR THOSE IN THE MILITARY. WE ALSO SUPPORTED REP. JOHN FLEMING'S (R-LA) SUCCESSFUL AMENDMENT TO BLOCK DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE FUNDING FOR SO-CALLED "ATHEIST" CHAPLAINS.

COMMUNICATIONS--THE MISSION OF FRC IS TIMELESS, BUT THE WAY IN WHICH WE COMMUNICATE THAT MISSION MUST BE CONSTANTLY ADAPTED TO INCORPORATE NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND REACH NEW AUDIENCES. THE COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PUBLIC IMAGE OF FRC; THEY INTERACT ON A DAILY BASIS WITH THE PRESS CORPS AND ENSURE THAT FRC'S POSITIONS ARE CLEARLY COMMUNICATED AND ACCURATELY REPRESENTED. DESPITE ATTACKS AND OUTRAGEOUS LABELS FROM THE LEFT TO SILENCE OUR VOICE, FRC CONTINUES TO GROW IN INFLUENCE AND EXPAND OUR VISIBILITY PROMOTING THE PRO-FAMILY AGENDA TO OPINION LEADERS AND THE PUBLIC THROUGH EFFECTIVE MEDIA STRATEGIES.IN 2013, THE FRC COMMUNICATIONS TEAM TRACKED MORE THAN 15,000 MEDIA MENTIONS--OF FRC AND OUR AFFILIATES; FRC STAFF MADE NEARLY 100 LIVE TV AND CABLE NETWORK APPEARANCES, PLUS 1 MILLION ONLINE VIDEO VIEWS; HAD OVER 500 RADIO HITS ON PROMINENT STATIONS ACROSS AMERICA; PLACED 241 OP-EDS IN PUBLICATIONS NATIONWIDE; AND PREPARED TO HOST OVER 170 MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA COVERING THE VALUES VOTER SUMMIT. THE INCREASING PROMINENCE OF THE VALUES VOTER SUMMIT AFFORDS FRC A TREMENDOUS PLATFORM FOR EDUCATING AMERICANS ABOUT THE VALUES THAT HAVE MADE OUR NATION GREAT FOR OVER 230 YEARS.IN JANUARY, FRC LAUNCHED WASHINGTON WATCH WITH TONY PERKINS, A DAILY ONE-HOUR RADIO PROGRAM REACHING NEARLY 150 STATIONS AND MORE THAN 1 MILLION POTENTIAL LISTENERS NATIONWIDE. THE SHOW ALLOWS US TO CUT THROUGH THE MEDIA'S FILTER AND SPEAK DIRECTLY TO CONCERNED AMERICANS ABOUT HOW A BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW SHAPES PUBLIC POLICY. TONY HAS HOSTED DOZENS OF MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AS WELL AS PROMINENT CONSERVATIVE LEADERS, AUTHORS, AND PASTORS, INCLUDING SEN. TED CRUZ (R-TX), GOV. MIKE HUCKABEE AND SEN. RICK SANTORUM.OUR ONGOING CAMPAIGN TO EFFECTIVELY REACH, EQUIP AND ENGAGE THE NEXT GENERATION THROUGH NEXT CONTINUES TO GAIN MOMENTUM. WE HAVE SEEN AN EXCITING INCREASE OVER RECENT MONTHS WITH OUR SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN GROWING A NETWORK OF WELL OVER 100,000 FACEBOOK FRIENDS FOR FRC AND 24,000 TWITTER FOLLOWERS. OUR DESIRE OVER TIME IS TO VOICE TRUTH AND ETERNAL VALUES INTO THE MARKETPLACE OF IDEAS.

OTHER PROGRAMS: WITH VIGOROUS REPRESENTATION BEFORE CONGRESS, THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH, AND, WHEN APPROPRIATE, THE FEDERAL JUDICIARY, FRC PURSUES AN ACTIVE PROGRAM OF PUBLIC EDUCATION AND AWARENESS. IN TANGIBLE WAYS, WE ARE ARMING POLICY MAKERS AND THE AMERICAN CITIZENRY WITH THE POWER WHICH KNOWLEDGE GIVES. FRC HOLDS NUMEROUS LECTURES AND HOSTS CONFERENCES, GARNERING MEDIA ATTENTION FROM AROUND THE WORLD. THESE EVENTS ARE SUBSEQUENTLY EDITED AND MADE AVAILABLE TO OUR CONSTITUENTS ON OUR WEBSITE. DURING 2013, FRC HAD OVER 300,000 SUBSCRIBERS TO TONY PERKINS' DAILY "WASHINGTON UPDATE." THERE ARE MILLIONS OF REGULAR LISTENERS AND PODCAST SUBSCRIBERS TO FRC'S RADIO PROGRAMMING.FRC'S CHURCH MINISTRIES TEAM EQUIPS AND MOBILIZES 25,000 PASTORS, PLUS THEIR MILLIONS OF CONGREGANTS; OVER 3,600 CHURCH-BASED CULTURE IMPACT TEAMS (TRIPLING OUR NUMBER), AND OVER 48,000 PRAYER PARTNERS. IN 2013, WE EXPANDED OUR "P3" PASTORS GROUP TO OVER 5,000. EACH OF THESE PASTORS COMMITS TO PRAY FOR THE NATION, PREACH CHRISTIAN CITIZENSHIP MESSAGES, AND PARTNER WITH AT LEAST THREE OTHER PASTORS. IN MAY, FRC HOSTED OUR 10TH ANNUAL NATIONAL "WATCHMEN ON THE WALL" CONFERENCE IN WASHINGTON, D.C. OVER 550 PASTORS AND CHURCH LEADERS ATTENDED FROM 39 STATES. WE HOSTED REGIONAL PASTORS BRIEFINGS ATTENDED BY MORE THAN 700 PASTORS AND CHURCH LEADERS IN VIRGINIA, COLORADO, MISSOURI, AND MINNESOTA. WE ALSO HELD TWO DC-BASED BRIEFINGS, ONE IN COLLABORATION WITH THE ASSOCIATION OF RELATED CHURCHES (ARC) AND ONE SPECIFICALLY FOR HISPANIC PASTORS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY IS GROWING, AND WE SOON WILL RELEASE SEVERAL FRC PUBLICATIONS IN SPANISH.OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS, MANY PRO-FAMILY ORGANIZATIONS HAVE COME AND GONE, BUT THE CHALLENGES AND PRESSURES FACING CHRISTIANS AND OTHER PEOPLE OF GOOD WILL IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE HAVE REMAINED GREAT. WITH THE FAITHFUL PRAYERS AND SUPPORT OF FAMILIES DEDICATED TO OUR MISSION, FRC HAS WEATHERED THE STORMS OF HOSTILE ADMINISTRATIONS, SOFTENING ECONOMIES, AND UNRELENTING OPPOSITION FROM SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS. FAR FROM MAINTAINING A DEFENSIVE POSITION, FRC HAS WON NUMEROUS POLICY VICTORIES: THE INCREASE OF THE PER-CHILD TAX CREDIT, PASSAGE OF THE DEFENSE OF MARRIAGE ACT, CREATION OF HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNTS, WELFARE REFORM, INCREASED ABSTINENCE EDUCATION FUNDING, THE PASSAGE OF THE PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION BAN ACT, AND THE CONFIRMATION OF JUDICIAL CONSERVATIVES TO THE SUPREME COURT (TO NAME A FEW). WITH A BOLD VISION FOR GROWING THE INFLUENCE OF FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL, WE MOVE AHEAD WITH GREAT ANTICIPATION. TRUSTING IN THE PROVIDENCE OF ALMIGHTY GOD TO GUIDE AND ESTABLISH THE WORK OF OUR HANDS, FRC EXISTS TO ADVANCE FAITH FAMILY AND FREEDOM IN PUBLIC POLICY AND PUBLIC OPINION. MAY WE BE FOUND EVER FAITHFUL TO OUR TASK.
