WHEREAS, extensive research indicates that children raised in stable, married, two-parent households are more likely to graduate from college and achieve economic self-sufficiency, and less likely to experience poverty, depression, involvement in criminal activity, or teen parenthood; and WHEREAS, James Madison said “To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is an imaginary idea.”; and
