Family Values Party - anyone heard of these loonies?
Family Values Party - This ultra-conservative, theocratic party seems to exist mainly to promote the frequent federal candidacies of party founder Tom Wells. Wells explained that God spoke directly to him in his bedroom on December 25, 1994 at 2:00 a.m. and "commanded him to start" the FVP. To be exact, Wells said God specifically told him to encourage people to stop paying taxes until the public funding of abortion ends. The FVP political platform is largely derived from religious fundamentalism, including many specific citations to Bible passages. This "party" remains largely an alter-ego of Wells -- who always seems to be running as a write-in candidate for President or Congress (or both).

1. My family will learn tolerance
My idea of true family values.

THEIR idea of 'family values' is a dysfunctional one.
