| Democratic | 183 | 0 | 8 | 10 |
| Independent | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

What was the vote about?
H.Res. 318 resolves that the House of Representatives commends the millions of fathers who serve as wonderful, caring parents for their children and calls on fathers across the Nation to use Father's Day to reconnect and rededicate themselves to their children's lives, to spend Father's Day with their children, and to express their love and support for their children. The bill urges men to understand the level of responsibility fathering a child requires, especially in the encouragement of the moral, academic, and spiritual development of children and encourages active involvement of fathers in the rearing and development of their children, including the devotion of time, energy, and resources.
About time Congress faced this critical issue.
OF SOME INTEREST: The resolution states, "The bill urges men to understand the level of responsibility fathering a child requires, especially in
the encouragement of the ... spiritual development of children ..."
