The Center for Conservative Governance
The Founding Fathers knew that the republic they designed for us would be difficult to preserve, but they assumed that the citizenry would remain virtuous and alert.
Those assumptions don't hold at the dawning of the 21st century. Ignorance has never been worse — millions of citizens do not understand the founding documents, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights. Too much hedonism has undermined the civic virtue of many, and too much political corruption has caused disillusionment and lack of interest on the part of many others. As a nation, we are no longer virtuous or alert.
The main objective of the Center for Conservative Governance is to provide citizens with the knowledge and skills they need to be active participants both in governing the nation and in rebuilding civilization.
Thus, the Center for Conservative Governance specializes in training on the political process - electoral as well as policy.
The American Republic cannot be restored unless civilization as we know it is restored. To save civilization, individuals must commit themselves to living a godly life, privately and publicly. They must put their family first, and in some manner join with other like-minded people pursuing the same goals.
But they still have to interact with institutions, public or private. These institutions may be hostile, or they may be indifferent. In either case, people who are busy supporting and raising families and building community generally have better success in their interactions with impersonal institutions if they have acquired some technical expertise.
Giving citizens that expertise is what the Governance Center is all about.
