What Others Are Saying

"The last 10 years have pushed the problems of the family to the forefront of public policy, and the Pennsylvania Family Institute, with the leadership of Michael Geer, has provided a reliable, intelligent voice in the debate."

-Christopher Frear, Executive Editor, Bedford (Pa.) Gazette

"For years, I have admired the work of the Pennsylvania Family Institute. These people are leaders. They tackle the toughest problems with candor, intelligence, and compassion. They offer realistic solutions. They bring people together. They get results. I look forward to working with them during their second decade of achievement."

-David Blankenhorn, President, Institute for American Values, New York

"The key to stopping the expansion of casino gambling in Pennsylvania was a proactive, aggressive grass-roots campaign to hold elected officials accountable. The sustaining of this movement was in large part due to the commitment and endurance of the Pennsylvania Family Institute. We salute you."

-Tom Grey, executive director, National Coalition Against Legalized Gambling

"Without the involvement of Pennsylvania Family Institute and the research provided by Dr. James Dobson, we would not have been able to stop the expansion of gambling in Pennsylvania. Their assistance was pivotal and vital for our success!"

-Sen. Gibson E. Armstrong, Lancaster, Pa.

"Dr. Dobson and all of us in leadership at Focus on the Family have come to admire and trust the hard work of Michael Geer and the staff at the Pennsylvania Family Institute. The defense of the family by this outstanding organization has been dependable and unwavering in the many years of our association with it. It is obvious to us that God's hand is upon you and will bless you abundantly in the future."

-Tom Minnery, Vice President of Public Policy, Focus on the Family

"The most important thing about the Pennsylvania Family Institute is that it backs up its cogent arguments with accurate, nuanced, and carefully presented evidence. On the rare occasions when its leaders don't have requested information on a state or national issue regarding social policy, they generally know who does. And I might add that they are one of the best sources in the state when one wants to know how the political winds are blowing, even when those winds are blowing against them. They pursue their idealistic goals with a clear-eyed realism that is rare and refreshing, and is a key reason for their many successes."
