_______________________________________________________________________
A BILL
To direct the President of the United States to designate one month
each year as Fidelity Month for the purpose of rededicating our Nation
to the values of faith, family, and patriotism.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) A recent opinion poll of Americans showed support for
traditional values has significantly declined.
(2) A majority of Americans no longer view values like
faith, family, patriotism, or being involved in the community
as very important.
(3) These values used to unite Americans.
(4) The decline in these values has corresponded with a
rise in crime, drug abuse, alienation, and family
disintegration.
(5) Fidelity means dedication to faith, spouses and
families, and our country and communities.
(6) Citizens of all faiths can join in recommitting our
Nation to fidelity.
(7) Our Founding Father John Adams said, ``Our Constitution
was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly
inadequate to the government of any other.''.
(8) Our survival as a country depends on the shared bonds
of faith, family, and patriotism.
(9) It is fitting to observe a month of rededicating our
Nation to our core values.
SEC. 2. DESIGNATION OF FIDELITY MONTH BY THE PRESIDENT.
The President shall designate one month each year as Fidelity Month
for the purpose of rededicating our Nation to the values of faith,
family, and patriotism.
