Real Repeal and Real Reform for Obamacare
Signatures updated: 7/12/17 As the Senate considers new options to replace Obamacare, it is critical that any bill includes solutions that give consumers more choice, create real flexibility for Medicaid, bring more free market principles into the market, and rein in long-term growth of Medicaid. • Consumer Choice: Obamacare’s insurance mandates have caused premiums […]
Stop Religious Intolerance

Restoring America’s Military Strength: Military Readiness or Transgender Politics
Conservative leaders strongly support the principle of peace through strength and therefore the need for immediate action to return the priority of the Department of Defense to restoring America’s military readiness and ending costly and distracting social engineering. President Trump has mandated that his Administration restore the strength of our military. We, and most […]
Republicans should support President Trump’s 2018 Budget Proposal
The Conservative Movement wholeheartedly supports President Trump’s 2018 budget proposal. Any budget is a series of compromises, between what is ideal and what is achievable. Conservatives know that Rome wasn’t built — or burned — in a day. Nevertheless, the Conservative Movement rightly expected the Trump administration to start any budget negotiations closer to the […]
Necessary Principles to Repeal Obamacare
The current House bill does not achieve the health care vision articulated by President Trump. The House of Representatives bill must include full repeal of the Obamacare insurance regulations, must permit interstate purchasing of health insurance and must expand health savings accounts. The House should not pre-emptively capitulate on these principles by making unwarranted assumptions […]
Thank You, President Trump, for Nominating Judge Neil M. Gorsuch
President Trump has nominated Judge Neil M. Gorsuch to fill Justice Scalia’s seat on the Supreme Court. He is an exceptionally qualified individual who has a record of applying the Constitution as the Framers meant it to be.

Stop the Return of Earmarks!
WASHINGTON, DC: We congratulate the Senate Republican Conference for its vote on January 10th to keep the ban on earmarks.

The Time to Repeal Obamacare Is Now
WASHINGTON, DC: (Signatures updated 1/9/17) For the last six years, Americans have endured extraordinary hardship under Obamacare, a thousand-page law of broken promises and failed policies.

Those Americans […]
Congress Should Not Hold A Lame Duck Session
WASHINGTON, DC: In September, we sent a Memo for the Movement declaring that Congress should not hold a “lame duck” session after the 2016 elections. Historically, lame duck sessions have been used to enact massive backroom deals containing spending increases, tax increases, and ratifications of treaties that threaten U.S. sovereignty. Furthermore, lame duck sessions are […]

“We bought it, we paid for it, we built it, and we intend to keep it.”
Ronald Reagan, March 31, 1976, recommending that the (now Chinese controlled) canal in Panama not be tossed away. Governor Reagan was referring to only one strategic American asset. On October 1, 2016, President Barack Obama will hand to Iran, China, Russia, and others control of perhaps America’s single greatest strategic asset – the world wide […]
Congress Should Not Hold A Lame Duck Session
WASHINGTON, DC: As Congress approaches the end of their second session, we conservative leaders want to emphasize the message we sent to the Speaker of the House and the Majority Leader of the Senate in April of this year: Congress should not hold a so-called “lame duck” session after this year’s elections. Historically, lame duck […]
