Highlights
& Quotes
In
1989, when President Reagan awarded Edwin Feulner the Presidential
Citizens Medal for being the "leader of the conservative movement,"
there was little to dispute. As president and cofounder (with Paul
Weyrich) of the Heritage Foundation, Feulner has played a central
role in shaping and pushing the conservative agenda for more than
three decades.
Feulner
also helped turn the traditional notion of think tanks as drab centers
of serious scholarship on its head. From its very first days, Heritage
has been devoted to turning its ideologically driven agenda into
policy. In fact, it is more accurately described as an advocacy
organization. It spends a massive portion of its budget on marketing,
pioneered the use of succinct messaging, and aims to influence the
policy-making community directly (without, of course, overstepping
its limits as a 501(c)(3) organization). As Feulner is fond of saying,
"We conduct warfare in the battle of ideas."
Feulner's books include Leadership for America, 2000; Intellectual Pilgrims, 1999; The March of Freedom, 1998; Conservatives Stalk The House, 1983; and Looking Back, 1981.
