I recently received via a friend the Christian Coalition's report card
on Congress.  Here are the 12 votes in the House of Representatives
that the CC judged to be critical:
(It should also be noted that the titles given to these votes are
quite reactionary and politicized:  "taxes to promote abortion"; "Clinton
pork-barrel spending program"; "stacking votes in Congress"

1. SUPPORTED by CC/passed by House:  Amendment banning immigration by
individuals with HIV/AIDS.

2. SUPPORTED/FAILED in House:  motion to require federally funded clinics
to notify parents 48 hours in advance of an abortion involving a minor

3. OPPOSED/Approved by House:  repeal by Clinton administration of
Bush policy banning discussion of abortion options at federally-funded
family planning clinics

4. OPPOSED/Approved:  amendment allowing fetal tissue research

5. OPPOSED/Approved:  Clinton's economic stimulus package to create jobs

6. OPPOSED/Approved:  Clinton's 5 year budget resolution

7. OPPOSED/Approved:  motion to increase debt limit to $225 billion until
  Sept. 30

8. OPPOSED/Approved:  granting of voting privileges to 5 delegates
      from District of Columbia and US territories

9. SUPPORTED/Defeated:  motion to limit terms of House committee chairs
     to 6 years

10. OPPOSED/adopted:  adoption of conference report on DC's appropriations
    bill to fund abortions for women in need at District clinics

11. SUPPORTED/rejected:  motion to accept Senate amendment prohibiting
    Nat. Endowment for the Arts from funding art projects it deems
    pornographic

12. OPPOSED/approved:  motion to block proposal to fund sex education
      programs that teach abstinence without consideration of other
      methods/issues

In the House, CC positions were passed/approved in only one case out of
these 12 issues.
