Family Research Council, Inc.

Washington, DC 20001

Influential think tank and lobbying group. Current [June 2002] President is Kenneth L. Connor. Was formerly led by Gary L. Bauer, former Republican candidate for president. FRC was a division of James Dobson's Focus on the Family from 1988 until October 1992, when IRS concerns about the group's lobbying led to an amicable administrative separation.

FRC Ally's Partisan Credentials Still Secure

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/2006/12/frc_allys_parti.html

Like Gary Bauer, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins criticizes Sojourners chief and fellow evangelical Rev. Jim Wallis for giving the Democrats’ weekly radio program. Writes Perkins:

"...Interestingly, none of the people Wallis has criticized has delivered, or is ever likely to deliver, the GOP's weekly radio address, no matter who is President...Bishop Harry Jackson...president of the High Impact Leadership Coalition, typifies this kind of leader..."

Bishop Jackson, who writes a column for the right-wing Townhall.com, has been a frequent speaker for far-right groups at events like FRC’s own “Justice Sunday II.” ...it should be noted that Jackson is still available to endorse Republican candidates, as he did George Bush in 2004 and Ken Blackwell and Michael Steele in 2006...

Family Research Council urges Africans to starve rather than accept money from pro-gay churches

http://americablog.blogspot.com/2005/06/family-research-council-urges-africans.html

What Tony "$82,000 to David Duke" Perkins of the Family Research Council conveniently doesn't tell folks is that some of the money these African churches are refusing to accept are money for people with AIDS and more.
