That's the theme of this year's GOP election year agenda according to
CNN.
Billed as the "American Values Agenda," the measures range from legislation that would "protect the Pledge of Allegiance from attacks by activist federal judges seeking to rule it unconstitutional" to a constitutional amendment "declaring marriage to be between a man and a woman."Otheres are seeing this as an election year stunt. Democrats are crying that they won't put up with it and will lead the way for a better America.

Tim Grieve, in his piece on
Salon.com's War Room, says this about the so-called values agenda progress:
The GOP set to work right away Wednesday [June June 28]
on the Pledge Protection Act, a bill that would strip federal courts of jurisdiction over Pledge of Allegiance litigation.
