The conservative movement is about individual responsibility, personal freedom, a limited and fiscally responsible government, strong and effective foreign policy, private enterprise and the promotion of competitive markets. At least, that’s what it should be about. Many who today claim to be conservative are anything but. The Conservative Compendium seeks to conserve or restore those ideals under which this nation was founded. This is not a Washington, D.C. movement; this is a grassroots movement that must be won in the hearts and minds of the American public. To do that, the advocates of the movement must have access to all the information and resources that they can get. The goal of the Conservative Compendium is to bring that information to the people who need it most, the grassroots activists, so that they can be effective advocates of liberty.
