AVN’s mission is “to enroll, engage, and enable faithful Americans and others of goodwill to stand up, speak out, and actively participate in building up the American family and community values that have always been at the core of our successful efforts to create a ‘more perfect union.’"〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://americanvaluesnetwork.org/about/ )〕 == Overview == The President of AVN is Burns Strider, with Eric Sapp as the Executive Director and Rachel Johnson as Programs Director.

AVN works alongside similar progressive faith groups such as Sojourners, Faith and Public Life, and Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good. Organized as a 501(c)(4), AVN can participate in issue-based organizing, advertising, and lobbying and raises its funds through non-tax deductible donations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.soultalkradio.com/2011/07/11/eric-sapp-on-his-work-with-the-american-values-network/ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「American Values Network」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
