“In an era of ballooning deficits; social, racial and economic divisions; and isolationist tendencies, socialism isn’t the solution,” Sen. Romney said. “Conservatives need to promote a governing vision that reaffirms our core principles and resonates with younger Americans who will ultimately shape the future of our country.”
“Conservative values are, for many, intermingled with partisan politics,” said Rick B. Larsen, Sutherland Institute president. “Without a clear explanation and defense of the value of societal institutions like faith, family and free market principles, upcoming generations may lack an accurate perception as to what conservatism means. Based on my personal associations with both the Romney family and Burgess Owens over the years, there are no two better people to ‘make the case.’”
