Founding of American Family Voices
In 2000, Lux founded, and currently chairs, American Family Voices, an organization that encourages grassroots involvement on middle-class issues. AFV and Lux have received widespread media attention in recent years due to their ad campaigns. American newsmagazine National Review conceded that "American Family Voices has a talented leader, rich supporters, and some important friends in the press. That's more than enough to keep making trouble for George W. Bush."

Famous quotes containing the words founding, american, family and/or voices:
“The Founding Fathers in their wisdom decided that children were an unnatural strain on parents. So they provided jails called schools, equipped with tortures called an education. School is where you go between when your parents can’t take you and industry can’t take you.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“The white American man makes the white American woman maybe not superfluous but just a little kind of decoration. Not really important to turning around the wheels of the state. Well the black American woman has never been able to feel that way. No black American man at any time in our history in the United States has been able to feel that he didn’t need that black woman right against him, shoulder to shoulder—in that cotton field, on the auction block, in the ghetto, wherever.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
“The family is in flux, and signs of trouble are widespread. Expectations remain high. But realities are disturbing.”
—Robert Neelly Bellah (20th century)
“Already the new-born children interpret love
In the voices of mothers.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
