(2) A majority of Americans no longer view val-
ues like faith, family, patriotism, or being involved 
in the community as very important. 
(3) These values used to unite Americans.

responded with a rise in crime, drug abuse, alien-
ation, and family disintegration.

ting 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 gov-
ernment 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 rededi-
cating our Nation to our core values. 
SEC. 2. DESIGNATION OF FIDELITY MONTH BY THE PRESI-
DENT.
