Ronald Reagan knew something that no one else knew
In 1980, just as Reagan was beginning his first term in office, The Heritage Foundation developed a 1,100 page detailed policy manual on everything from taxes and regulation to trade and national defense. This “Mandate for Leadership” as it was so titled was described by United Press International back then as:
“a blueprint for grabbing the government by its frayed New Deal lapels and shaking out 48 years of liberal policy.”
President Reagan used “Mandate” to help realize his vision of a world free of communism, an economy that didn’t crush people’s dreams with high taxes and regulations, and an America the world could admire once again. He gave copies to every member of his Cabinet. The result: Nearly two-thirds of “Mandate’s” 2,000 recommendations were adopted or attempted by the Reagan administration.
Now is a time for a new Mandate for Leadership
We have come a long way since Reagan—and not in a good way. The liberal policies of the Obama administration have put a stranglehold on free enterprise. New entitlements such as Obamacare have led to the largest expansion of the federal government since the New Deal. As Reagan once said:
“Government is not the solution to the problem, government is the problem.”
As a result of this irresponsible leadership, our freedom as American citizens has never before been so limited. At the same time, our influence in the world as a super power wanes as America’s global military footprint continues to shrink.
Enough is enough—it is time to reverse our course.
The Heritage Foundation has the policy solutions that can make America that “shining city upon a hill” once again. And we are strategically positioned to do just that:
- President Donald Trump stands with Heritage, saying ““For nearly half a century, Heritage has been titans in the fight to defend, promote, and preserve our great American Heritage.“.“
- Heritage employs some of the smartest minds in Washington – With over 100 policy experts, Heritage truly has the talent to be able to solve complex policy issues, with simple and effective conservative solutions. As Rush Limbaugh has said, “Some of the finest conservative scholars alive today, live, work, and breathe at The Heritage Foundation.”
- Heritage has a media distribution network second to none –Nearly 30 million Americans visit our Daily Signal website each year, bypassing the mainstream media filter to get the facts. Heritage experts appear on television and radio dozens of times each week, publish hundreds of sound policy research reports annually, and host hundreds of meetings a year with grassroots leaders and local and national officials.
- Heritage is located right in the belly of the beast – Location is everything. Heritage is the largest single land owner on Capitol Hill, with offices just 1000 steps from the House and 500 steps from the Senate. This strategic location gives us access to lawmakers and public officials that need to be equipped with policy solutions that represent your conservative principles.
