COLUMBIA, SC, Jan. 16 /Christian Newswire/ -- With the important South Carolina primary this Saturday, it's time for South Carolinians to get the facts on where candidates stand on the natural family – a father, a mother, and their children.

Campaign for Children and Families, a leading family issues organization, is pleased to announce the Report Card on the Natural Family, which was emailed today to more than a half million conservatives and Christians in the Palmetto State. 

The Report Card on the Natural Family reveals where the leading Republican presidential candidates stand on eight topics important to most Americans.

"While all of the leading Republican candidates claim to embrace family values, let the record show that they're marching to different drummers on marriage rights, the conscience of business owners, free speech, adoption, schoolchildren, and the 'LGBT' agenda," said CCF President Randy Thomasson. "Many voters will be surprised with the results of this carefully-researched report card. But as always, what a candidate does means much more than what they say. Facts are stubborn things."

"According to the Human Rights Campaign, the leading Democratic candidates have already established records or made consistent statements in support of nearly all of the homosexual, bisexual, and transsexual agenda," added Thomasson, a registered independent, whose non-partisan organization will compare candidates from both major parties later this year.

To grade the Report Card on the Natural Family, presidential candidates' positions were taken from published votes, policies, and public statements and documents. No coordination was done with any candidate or supporting campaign. For scoring purposes, the greatest weight was given to actual votes, actions and policies, rather than to contemporary statements that differ from past policies or statements or contradict previous actions.
