Leadership for America
America is a remarkable nation—a strong, prosperous and good nation—unique in its dedication to the principles of liberty and constitutional self-government. It is the hard work of freedom to perpetually renew this purpose and make it ever manifest in the politics and public life of our nation.
For more than 30 years, The Heritage Foundation has provided leadership for America, building a movement that launched a presidency, defeated a tyranny and turned the course of history. Now in a new century, the threats to our nation continue to grow and expand. Yet while the American people increasingly want better answers and solutions they are getting more slogans and promises.
It becomes our task, then, to build on our accomplishments, complete the unfinished work of the day and confront the expanding challenges before us.

Ed Feulner’s vision
Heritage President Ed Feulner announced the Leadership for America campaign in April 2007.
“Heritage must continue to provide leadership for America,” he said. “We must define what that leadership will look like in 10 years and—more important—what we want America to look like 10 years from now.”
