America must reestablish the role of its founding principles in shaping its politics, guiding policymaking and defining the grounds of self-government. America must restore the courts to their constitutional role and enforce limits on government.
So we will work to recall our nation to the first principles of liberty.
America must restore the family, strengthen marriage and reclaim the fullness of religious liberty in civic life. America must free education from the shackles of bureaucracy and mediocrity, and return control to states, localities, and parents.
So we will work to restore the primary institutions of civil society.
America must replace the culture of entitlement with one of responsibility, provide freedom of choice in health care and ensure the energy supply we need is consistent with free enterprise and stewardship. America must make taxes low, flat, simple, and fair - and unleash the tremendous creativity of our country's entrepreneurs.
So we will work to expand economic opportunity and prosperity for all Americans.
America must protect itself from attack and annihilation, make sure its troops are the best trained and best equipped in the world, and secure its borders. America must be an influential and respected world leader, and protect its sovereignty and independence.
So we will work to ensure America's national security and its respect as a world leader.

You Can Rediscover and Revive The First Principles Of Liberty
When asked what kind of government the Constitutional Convention had devised, Benjamin Franklin reportedly answered, "A republic - if you can keep it." To keep our freedom intact, it is essential that Americans understand and preserve the underlying principles of freedom.
But this understanding is jeopardized on many fronts.
Students in our high schools and colleges show a deplorable ignorance of the most basic facts of America 's founding. Our elected leaders in Washington routinely support legislation that overreaches constitutional limits on government. Judges in our courts of law, especially justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, have increasingly substituted their personal moral views for constitutional principles.
To shore up the principles that are the very foundations of American order, Heritage will pursue two broad objectives.

You Can Help Restore The Primary Institutions Of Civil Society
The Founders' conception of a free society and limited government rested on the strength of institutions that precede our constitutional order, particularly the family and religion. Through the family, religious congregations, other forms of association, as well as education, individuals learn the virtues necessary to sustain ordered liberty.
Americans have seen these foundations of freedom eroded by several forces. Family has declined and marriage has weakened under pressure from policy and cultural changes. The role of religious freedom in maintaining liberty and the contribution of faithful individuals and congregations to the common good are no longer adequately appreciated. Public education, intended to prepare future citizens for freedom, has become shackled by government bureaucracy and union power.
Toward restoring the primary institutions of civil society, Heritage will advance two main objectives.
