  • Focus on the Family (FOTF) is a sacred American institution, like the Boy Scouts and The One True Church. They are the self-appointed guardians of all things American.
  • Focus on the Family is an irrational Conservative Christian organization devoted to making America a Christian theocracy and take away people's rights. James Dobson founded FotF though Dobson may have been pushed out for being too Right Wing even for them. To make it look better, they claim their primary mission is: To cooperate with the Holy Spirit in sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with as many people as possible by nurturing and defending the God-ordained institution of the family and promoting biblical truths worldwide.. To put that into plain English, they have six "pillars", which they call as follows: 1. * The Preeminence of Evangelism 2. * The Permanence of Marriage 3. * The Value of Children 4. * Although they call for Corporal Punishment 1. * The Sanctity of Human Life 2. * The Importance of Social Responsibility 3. * The Value of Male and Female The ones that look bad are bad and the ones that look like they're good ideas are misleadingly so. The current CEO is Jim Daly.

FOTF initiatives address the diverse needs of families and individuals at every life stage through radio broadcasts, magazines and online publications, books, events. In response to perceived threats to the family from changing world views in society, Dobson and his associates have become more politically active, and are regarded as a major voice in the Christian right, generally promoting socially conservative policies. Recently it began publishing a new political magazine called Citizen which addresses political concerns, especially on issues where current public policies are seen as threatening to conservative families.
