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, burdensome tax policies, a failing public education system, an out-of-control regulatory system, and a growing disregard for the rule of law to become an accepted way of life.

Our purpose, through public education, is 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.

Chenoweth, Hon. Helen, Member of Congress

“The Lincoln Heritage Institute has captured my attention. More than any stands we in Congress may take or any votes we may cast, it is organizations like this that not only affect and change public opinion but really help bring about change. In large part, their work gives people hope and the confidence to become active because they feel they are not alone in their conservative views.”
