Washington is full of "think tanks," places that produce books and papers about particular policy questions. So what’s different about the Free Congress Research and Education Foundation? Free Congress Foundation is politically conservative, but it is more than that: it is also culturally conservative.

Will America return to the culture that made it great, our traditional, Judeo-Christian, Western culture? Or will we continue the long slide into the cultural and moral decay of political correctness? If we do, America, once the greatest nation on earth, will become no less than a third world country.

An educational foundation committed to helping restore America's people and institutions to their biblical foundations of liberty.
