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. |

Demo Party Switcher Joining GOP |
|
by Robert D. Novak
John N. Kennedy, Louisiana’s conservative Democratic state treasurer, is expected to change parties and run against Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu as a Republican at the urging of White House aide Karl Rove, despite harassment from the Democratic-controlled state legislature.
Kennedy long has considered changing parties, but wanted to wait until the current state legislative session ended. His switch was discussed on Mother’s Day in a private lunch attended by Kennedy, Rove and David Vitter, Louisiana’s Republican senator. When Vitter leaked Kennedy’s intentions, the legislature began machinations to obstruct operations of the state treasurer’s office.
A strong fiscal conservative, Kennedy is fighting maneuvers intended to chew up a state budget surplus, as a Republican, Rep. Bobby Jindal, is expected to be elected governor of Louisiana this year.
