A Message from Dr. Robert P. George:

You may have read about the rather disturbing recent WSJ poll indicating a precipitous decline in our fellow Americans’ belief in the importance of such values as patriotism, religion, family, and community—the values that used to unite Americans despite our many differences. There are a million things we can and should do to restore the faith of our people, and begin to heal the dreadful division in our country, but I would like you to join in one small one.

By the authority vested in me by absolutely no one, I have declared June to be “Fidelity Month”—a month dedicated to the importance of fidelity to God, spouses and families, and our country and communities. Please see our beautiful Fidelity Month symbol here, which can be used in all the ways we use symbols these days, on T-shirts, hats, websites, flags, banners etc. - all of which can be purchased at cost here at our website. But feel free to create your own stickers, pins, etc. The symbol features a myrtle wreath-myrtle being a symbol of fidelity.

I would be grateful if you and any organizations which you are involved in or have influence with to officially recognize and celebrate Fidelity Month. Put out a statement. Write a letter to the editor. Ask your church, synagogue or mosque to put it in the bulletin. Join the Fidelity Month Facebook group and share stories and pictures. Hold an event (like hosting a speaker on the importance of any of the values we need to restore). Use the symbol for your social media or website. Think of other things to do.

If you are a public official and your office recognizes special days, months, etc., please officially recognize Fidelity Month.

If you are a legislator, please do whatever you can according to the customs and traditions of your legislative assembly to raise the profile of Fidelity Month.

If you are a pastor, please make sure your church or parish or synagogue or other congregation does something for Fidelity Month.

Please do not wait, though, in thinking about and planning your Fidelity Month activities. And please let us know what you are doing. We will share it and help to spread the word on our social media sites and website.

Please share this message with others who should receive it. And please use your social media accounts to promote Fidelity Month. Share the Fidelity Month logo and banner with anyone you like. These can be used on all social media accounts.

It would be great if they appeared on thousands of accounts on June 1.

Thank you!

Robert P. George
