Coalition for a Conservative Majority

In 2006, conservatives were beaten at the polls for the first time in years. But unlike in previous defeats, conservatives this time were beaten at what we have always done best: grassroots organization, coordination, and mobilization. The grassroots playbook that helped create the conservative majorities of Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, the Republican Congress of the 1990s, and George W. Bush in the 21st century failed for the first time to outwork liberals.

For six years now, former leaders of the Clinton Administration have studied and surpassed the conservative grassroots network, creating a liberal coalition unprecedented in its size, scope, and funding. This is the network that beat conservatives in 2006 and handed Congress back to the Democrat Party - and that was just the warm-up. The liberal Shadow Party has been built for one reason: to elect Barack Obama President of the United States in 2008. They have the money, the organization, and the coordination to do it, and there is no conservative network capable of standing in its path. Until now.

The Coalition for a Conservative Majority is a results driven grassroots action and information organization, the first such conservative organization worthy of the name. We will not be content to organize fund-raising databases or provide perches for figure-head leadership. Instead, CCM will: IDENTIFY, RECRUIT, TRAIN, INSPIRE, ACTIVATE, and MOBILIZE conservatives to take specific action on policy issues and political causes across the country.

CCM will organize in all 50 states and on the Internet to lay down a physical and virtual infrastructure. It will coordinate and direct grassroots action - phone and e-mail campaigns, letters to the editor and to elected officials, meeting requests for Members of Congress, grass- and net-roots information sessions, virtual policy conferences, blogs, and media call-in campaigns.

Furthermore, CCM will bridge the policy gaps between conservatism's diverse adherents. The liberal Shadow Party has so successfully fused the interests of economic, social, and foreign policy leftists that they all act with a common purpose. Conservatives for too long have allowed our narrow disagreements to undermine our broad consensus and common destiny. Economic, social, and foreign policy conservatism are not three different ideas, but three parts to a single agenda that can provide for the survival and success of freedom. Only by joining together against the unified liberals can conservatives hope to influence public policy. CCM will make no distinction between "types" of conservatives. The times demand as broad and robust coalition as our ideas can attract; CCM will put those ideas and that coalition to work.
