Many great Republicans in the past century have boldly used the power of the federal government and the enterprise of the American people to bring America together, and to steer our society through the uncertain futures they saw before them.

Theodore Roosevelt and Richard Nixon protected our lands, waters, wildlife, and ecosystems, and pioneered creative responses to great social crises.

Dwight Eisenhower and John McCain pushed for strong innovation and production for national security, and urged young Americans to lives of public service.

In our own time, Republicans like Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Ambassador Jon Huntsman have honorably served presidents of both parties, for the common good.

We are inspired by their principles as we approach the problems of our own times.
