I did some research. Here are some interesting facts that I was able to dig up about Republican Senator Sam Brownback, the man that's proposing this commission:

- Against stem cell research, and organized a filibuster against a bill to overturn President Bush's limits on research.

- Wants Roe v. Wade overturned entirely, and an outright ban on ALL abortions. Has compared abortion to the Holocaust.

- Wants to limit a couple's ability to have in-vitro fertilization.

- Wants teaching of intelligent design alongside evolution in schools.

- Converted to the Roman Catholic church in 2002, with the assistance of fellow Republican Senator Rick Santorum.

- Introduced a bill called the Truth in Video Game Rating Act (S.3935), which would regulate the rating system of computer and video games

- Voted for a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marrage. He is also against same-sex civil unions. In a Rolling Stone interview, he is quoted as having criticized Sweden for allowing same-sex civil unions. "You'll know them by their fruits," Brownback said, quoting Matthew 7:19.

- Wants to be a presidential candidate in 2008. Says he'll announce his intentions to run after the November elections. Pat Robertson voiced support of a Brownback presidential bid.

- Known commonly by his nickname "God's Senator".

Oh btw:

Brownback accepted $42,000 from Jack Abramoff, a disgraced ex-lobbyist involved in a wide-reaching public corruption scandal.
