Roy Blunt Elected New Majority Leader
By Karl-Thomas Musselman
Though some duties are apparently to be shared with other Reps, Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO) has been elected the new Majority Leader by the Republican Caucus by a unanimous vote. Rep. Dreier of California may share some duties, but has not been selected as the actual leader, contrary to other reports.
The Family Research Council is happy and released this statement, and I would imagine they are quite thrilled that Drier likely will not have the influence to moderate the GOP's position on their favorite non-issue, the Federal Marriage Amendment.
"I am confident that House Whip Roy Blunt will continue Tom DeLay's efforts to move forward with pro-family public policies which drove turnout among values voters in the last election. Congressman Blunt has been a recipient of Family Research Council's 'True Blue Award' which is given to members of Congress who have consistently voted pro-life and pro-family.
"Family Research Council looks forward to working with Congressman Blunt in the coming days as Congress considers tax relief for charitable giving, an amendment protecting marriage, a fetal pain bill and a ban on human cloning."
