Family Policy Network (FPN) is a grassroots organization that works with pro-family citizens to promote and defend traditional values. In Virgina, FPN’s actions are primarily geared toward cultural battles, which ordinarily involve bringing public awareness to anti-family positions taken by corporate and/or government decision-makers. Some examples of FPN’s activities in Virginia include:

– Confronting Public Broadcasting stations in the Commonwealth to limit their role in distributing a pro-homosexual video aimed at desensitizing schoolchildren to homosexuality. FPN mailed detailed instructions to tens of thousands of pro-family citizens on how to oppose PBS’s involvement in the “It’s Elementary” video, thereby limiting the video’s impact in Virginia.

– Exposing Anheuser-Busch’s efforts to promote homosexuality with its advertising budget by flying an airplane banner over 100,000 fans at a Martinsville NASCAR races that read, “BUD: STOP BACKING THE GAY AGENDA – WWW.GAYBEER.COM.”

– Successfully promoting passage of legislation requiring “In God We Trust” to be posted in all Virginia public schools. Subsequently commissioning the printing, packing and shipping of ample high-quality, full-color posters of the national motto to every school district in the state.

– Publicly criticizing efforts by otherwise conservative Virginia politicians to pander to homosexual activists and abortion activists.

Acting Director:

Joe Glover is the founder and President of Family Policy Network, and currently serves as the acting director for the group’s state chapter in Virginia. Glover worked as a paid consultant for a number of local, state and federal campaigns before incorporating FPN in Virginia in 1997. Thousands of pro-family Virginians have read Glover’s public policy newsletters and updates. Many more have learned about his efforts to promote traditional values through his extensive appearances in the media. In addition to the many nationally-broadcast radio and television appearances, Glover’s pro-family work has been covered extensively by Virginia publications like The Richmond Times-Dispatch, The Roanoke Times, The Virginian-Pilot and The Daily Press; and by Virginia television stations like WWBT-12 (NBC) in Richmond, WDBJ-7 (CBS) in Roanoke, and WTTG-5 (Fox-DC), seen throughout northern Virginia. Glover has a B.S. in business from Liberty University in Lynchburg and a Master of Divinity from Southeastern Seminary in Wake Forest. He lives in central Virginia with his wife and three children.
