Heritage Alliance’s Mission

Heritage Alliance seeks to empower the handful of citizens necessary to restore principles of free enterprise, limited government, limited taxation, and our traditional Judeo-Christian heritage in government.

Our founders believed in electing legislators of character and ability to represent principles on behalf of the common good, not simply to pander to public opinion. We believe that God entrusted us with the right to vote. When we choose not to vote or to not vote intelligently, we forfeit our responsibility to choose just legislators.

It is amazing how few people it takes to influence a legislator or an election! Only 50 emails, letters, or phone calls will influence a legislator on a particular bill. And only 5,000 voters will change the outcome of a primary election.

Your voice and your vote really do make a difference. Heritage Alliance serves to help you use your voice and vote wisely to hold our legislators accountable and ensure traditional values for our children and grandchildren.

It’s one thing to say that elections can be determined by 1% of the population, it’s quite another to actively attempt to have a select 1% of the population control the government.

Apparently, the Heritage Alliance believes that only one percent of the population identifies with it’s goals and beliefs. And based on that support, it thinks it should be able to “restore principles of free enterprise, limited government, limited taxation, and our traditional Judeo-Christian heritage in government.” It makes it sound like that the other 99% of the population are the cause of the “loss” of principles. So the Heritage Alliance is looking for the 1% that will save us from ourselves.

Isn’t that what the Taliban was doing in Afghanistan? Oh, sorry, this is different because it’s following the Judeo-Christian heritage of our government. And what happens to those of us who don’t agree with the Heritage Alliance’s interpretation of those traditions?
