About The Heritage Foundation

Founded in 1973, The Heritage Foundation is a research and educational institution—a think tank—whose mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense. We believe the principles and ideas of the American Founding are worth conserving and renewing. As policy entrepreneurs, we believe the most effective solutions are consistent with those ideas and principles.

    Huh.-can you trust this RINO who endorsed Senator Specter?

    I am proud of my vote for Sen. Cornyn. He has done his best to stop or slow down spending. He can not do the job by himself. We need some Democrats to see what is behind all the administrations smoke.

    The answer sounds correct and honest. Thanks for the facts.

    Before spending a dime, I think we have a right to know who the supposed 46 Million people who don’t have healthcare are? How many of them have options they have chosen not to seek? How many of them have no legal status to be in the US? Why should we pay for healthcare for either of the above groups?

    Who’s left? Do they have jobs? Can they work, but choose not to?

    Private sector business people would never make decisions about these matters without knowing more of the facts–why are politicians not held to the same responsibility?

    Why isn’t the mainstream media trying to find out? Are they being unfairly influenced to not do their jobs? Should we be, “following the money?”

    This is common sense! You can not save if you are spending. Good grief America; wake up! I am sick of the pep rally for Barrack H. Obama. Our government is sending this country into a downward spiral that it will not come out of. We are not in the industrial revolution anymore! That is what helped the US recover from the depression. What will help us now? Nothing and no one. China, Iran, & Russia see this as a perfect opportunity take control of the world market. Don’t think this can happen? The U.S.S.R. imploded and it took them 20 years to recover. Spain is crashing right now. Take back our country people! We can not wait for anyone else.

    Please vote no on “cap & trade”.

    I think the best solution to health care is for the government to get out of the business. My grandparents did not have it and they did just fine.
