Family Research Council Affiliates Took Millions In Government Funds While Decrying Washington Spending | The Family Research Council’s state-based affiliates have “raked in nearly $6 million in state and federal funds over the last five years” for abstinence-only and marriage promotion programs, the American Independent’s Andy Birkey is reporting. The state chapters took the money despite FRC’s public opposition to government spending and and support for cuts to social programs. Earlier this year, Iowa’s the FAMiLY LEADER — under so-called traditional values group — came under similar criticism for accepting $3 million in government funds over a five-year period.
