MANASSAS, Va., Aug. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Richard A. Viguerie transformed
American politics in the 20th Century by pioneering the use of direct mail
fundraising in the political and ideological spheres. As the "Funding
Father of the conservative movement," Viguerie motivated millions of
Americans to participate in politics for the first time, and their
grassroots activism led to the election of Ronald Reagan as America's first
conservative President in modern times.
Now, in his new book, Conservatives Betrayed (Bonus Books 2006),
Viguerie continues to establish himself as a key conservative leader in the
21st Century.
This is the first book that deals with the disappointment and even
anger that most conservatives have with President Bush and the GOP-led
Congress on major public policy issues.
In this conservative manifesto, Viguerie applies conservative
principles to 21st Century problems and issues. He also presents a detailed
strategy for conservatives to take back control of the Republican Party and
govern America.
With President Bush's low approval numbers, the unrest among grassroots
conservatives, and the potential for GOP losses in the 2006 and 2008
elections, this book is a roadmap for conservatives as they begin to
rebuild the conservative movement, recapture the Republican Party, and move
even the Democrats to the right.
In Conservatives Betrayed, Mr. Viguerie proposes bold action for
conservatives to take back the Republican Party from Big Government
Republicans, including:
* Withhold financial support from Republican committees and most
Republican incumbents.
* Withhold support from all 2008 presidential candidates.
* No longer call yourself a "Republican" but rather a Reagan
conservative or Reagan Republican.
* Work for wholesale change in Republican leadership at all levels of
government.
* And think and act as a third force (not third party) independent of
the Republican Party.
While not advocating GOP defeat, Mr. Viguerie says conservatives should
not fear the loss of Congress in 2006, since our best gains usually come after
a defeat:
* 1976: Gerald Ford's loss made possible Ronald Reagan's victory in
1980.
* 1992: George H.W. Bush's loss made possible the Republican
congressional victories in 1994.
