WASHINGTON, D.C. - Representative Gary Palmer (AL-06) cosponsored the Daughters of the American Revolution Membership Integrity Act. This legislation, introduced by Rep. Ben Cline (VA-06), amends the federal charter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) to preserve the organization's historic mission by including an eligibility requirement that limits membership to biological women that meet the genealogical eligibility requirements.

Upon cosponsoring this legislation, Rep. Palmer released the following statement:

"It should be common sense that to be a part of the Daughters of the American Revolution, you have to be a daughter. Unfortunately, common sense has become a casualty of the left's radical agenda," said Rep. Palmer. "This legislation protects the integrity of the DAR by preserving its historic purpose. Congress will not allow radical activists to erase womanhood from one of our nation's oldest patriotic organizations. I am proud to cosponsor this bill, and I thank Rep. Cline for his leadership on this issue."
