Our Mission |
Big government is not simply the size of the budget, or the number of federal programs; it is the role the federal government plays in our daily lives.
We at the Lincoln Heritage Institute will not sit idly by and allow bloated bureaucracies, budensome tax policies, a failing public education system, and out of control regulatory system, and a growing disregard for the rule of law to become an accepted way of life.
We have as our purpose, through public education, the revitalization and preservation of our traditional political, social, commercial, and legal environment in which the only limits to achievement are individual ability and effort. |

Conservatives Increase Lead Over Liberals |
|
by Jennifer Harper, Inside Politics
A Harris survey of more than 10,000 Americans reveals some noteworthy political trends.
Although Democrats still hold a lead over Republicans, conservatives continue to outnumber liberals by a wide margin (37 percent to 19 percent, an increase from 34 percent to 20 percent margin in 2005).
Moderates have dropped and now are even with conservatives at 37 percent, a change from 2005, when they outnumbered conservatives by a 42 percent to 37 percent margin.
Between 1969 and 2006, the Democratic lead over Republicans fell from 21 percentage points in the 1970s, to 11 points in the 1980s and seven points in the 1990s. The lead has averaged six percentage points since 2000.
The nationwide survey of 10,032 adults was conducted by telephone between February and November last year; it has a margin of error of one percentage point.
