The resolution recognizes the national strife resulting from declining traditional values and serves as a rededication to these principles for the wellbeing of the American people. “America’s success hinges on the values of faith, family, and patriotism,” said Senator Mike Lee. “Celebrating Fidelity Month this June, we stand against a tide of moral relativism, a culture which increasingly revolves around serving one’s self, rather than our duty to others. Loving families and faithful marriages must be a guiding star for our society and a cornerstone of our communities.” “Fidelity Month is an invitation to our fellow Americans to rededicate themselves to core principles that were once, and can again be, sources of our nation’s unity and strength: fidelity to God; fidelity to spouses and children; fidelity to our country and communities.” – Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University and founder of Fidelity Month. "At a time when America’s moral fabric is fraying and too many voices denigrate the very values that once bound us together, Fidelity Month is a timely and essential initiative. Faith, family, and patriotism are not relics of the past — they are the pillars of any flourishing civilization. I wholeheartedly support this effort to call Americans of every background to renew their dedication to these enduring truths. Without such fidelity, freedom itself becomes fragile." – Andrew T. Walker, Ph.D., Fellow, The Ethics and Public Policy Center Resolution Supporting the designation of June as Fidelity Month for the purpose of rededicating the United States to the values of faith, family, and patriotism. Whereas a recent opinion poll of Americans showed support for traditional values has significantly declined; Whereas a majority of Americans no longer view values like faith, family, patriotism, or being involved in the community as very important; Whereas these values used to unite Americans; Whereas the decline in these values has corresponded with a rise in crime, drug abuse, alienation, and family disintegration; Whereas fidelity means dedication to faith, spouses and families, and country and communities; Whereas citizens of all faiths can join in recommitting the United States to fidelity; Whereas John Adams, a founding father of the United States, said, ‘‘Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.’’; Whereas survival of the United States depends on the shared bonds of faith, family, and patriotism; and Whereas it is fitting to observe one month each year to rededicate the United States to its core values: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that June should be designated as Fidelity Month for the purpose of rededicating the United States to the values of faith, family, and patriotism.
