Richard Weaver's seminal book "Ideas Have
Consequences" could be our theme today, despite the fact that it was published almost
50 years ago. The remarkable growth of the Internet proves again the power of ideas to
reshape how Americans communicate with each other, and the world.
The Heritage Foundation's World Wide Web site was created to spread the ideas of free
enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a
strong national defense, the same ideas which caused a political revolution in the 1994
elections. As former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich declared just after
that election:
"Heritage is, without question, the most far-reaching conservative organization in
the country in the war of ideas, and one which has had a tremendous impact not just in
Washington, but literally across the planet."
As a leader in both the political and communications revolutions taking place today,
The Heritage Foundation will continue to demonstrate the power of our ideas well into the
21st century.
