                         AMERICAN VALUES AGENDA

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, earlier this week House, Republicans unveiled 
the American Values Agenda to defend the commonsense principles upon 
which our country was founded.
  Unfortunately, it seems that activist judges have made it their 
mission to ban freedoms of religious expression, to deny the basic 
right to life, to strip law-abiding citizens of their second amendment 
rights, and to denounce the sanctity of marriage.
  My Republican colleagues and I are committed to restoring these 
values and others by passing a positive legislative agenda which would 
protect the pledge from being ruled unconstitutional by activist 
judges, protect the right to display the American flag on residential 
property, protect the right of communities to make public references to 
God and faith, protect traditional marriage as a union between one man 
and one woman, require those that perform late-term abortions to inform 
the mother that her unborn child will feel pain, prohibit human 
cloning, apply gambling laws to the Internet, and make tax relief 
permanent for American families.
  Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to support these very 
important initiatives.
