The headlong drive to dramatically expand the scope and size of government and the radical push to recast our nation into a socialist state is threatening the God-given liberty and freedom of every American.

Every day, we are faced with a liberal media that endorse and encourage the big-government programs coming out of Washington. When was the last time you heard the so-called “news” media talk about things like individual liberty, limited government, or free enterprise – unless it was to denigrate them?

Fifty years ago, a group of young conservative leaders came together during a time of moral and political crisis to draft and sign the “Sharon Statement,” laying out the founding principles of conservatism and paving the way to the Reagan Revolution.

That’s precisely what today’s conservative leaders are doing by adding their names to The Mount Vernon Statement. Together they are recommitting themselves to a true Constitutional conservatism, and are calling on all conservatives to do the same by signing this statement. MRC founder and President Brent Bozell put it this way:

"The Mount Vernon Statement solidifies the conservative movement as vibrant and energized, ready to lead America into a renewed era of liberty and self government. Conservatives must reinstitute the great principles that defined us by our nation’s founders. Conservatives must work to fight the radical agenda that threatens our jobs, our security, our values and our security. And conservatives must do it together."

Brent joined more than 80 conservative leaders in signing this statement on February 17, 2010 near the home of George Washington. Our goal now is to educate the public by rallying at least ONE MILLION citizens nationwide to sign this statement and recommit to the first principles of our nation.
