Win the Argument

The late Margaret Thatcher said, First you win the argument; then you win the vote. There are a number of nonprofit groups that are helping constitutional conservatives win the argument, and I believe they are deserving of
your support. Below is a non-exhaustive list of these non-profits, all of which I support financially. You can visit a
groups website by clicking on its name. Contributions to each of these organizations are tax-deductible. More
importantly, however, by supporting these groups, you are helping us win the argument for fiscal responsibility,
limited government, free markets, and constitutional conservatism. Join me in supporting them.
