We plan on presenting position papers in the following areas:

Providing a sound, basic education to every child.
Crushing tax burdens on families and businesses.
The costly, immoral, and destructive welfare state.
Lack of economic opportunities for all citizens.
A decline of individual freedom and self-reliance.

Members of the Frederick Douglass Foundation believe:

We live in a land of liberty where natural rights of individuals precede and supersede the power of the state.

We are a constitutional republic in which government power is limited and employed for the purpose of providing legitimate public

goods rather than for the benefit of insiders and narrow interest groups.

We are a free market in which persons, individually or collectively, have the natural right to sell goods and services to willing

buyers,

and in which the individual pursuit of economic opportunity benefits all.

We are a free society where citizens solve social problems not only through government but also by working together in families,

neighborhoods, churches, charities, and other private, voluntary organizations.

"Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy
to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe." - Frederick Douglass -
