Paul Weyrich Bio:
Paul Weyrich first came to Washington, DC forty-two years ago, as press
secretary to Senator Gordon Allott of Colorado. One of his young colleagues on
the Allott staff was George Will. At a time when few dared to proclaim
themselves "conservatives", Paul Weyrich took on the political establishment,
and declared himself a "movement conservative". While a Senate staffer, Paul
learned that Joseph Coors was looking for a way to contribute to the
conservative movement. Paul proposed an independent research institute that
would influence policy debates before decisions were made. It was on this basic
concept, and the help of some other movement conservatives such as Lyn Nofziger
and Edwin J. Feulner, that Joseph Coors funded Paul's vision and made it a
reality. That is how the Heritage Foundation began. Paul went on to found
numerous other conservative groups, including Coalitions for America, the
Council for National Policy, the American Legislative Exchange Council and, most
recently, the Free Congress Foundation. He has not only been successful in
creating hubs for facilitating a continuing conservative presence in Washington,
he has also been instrumental in translating conservative principles into
effective legislation. With his commitment to traditional family values, he has
consistently promoted a morally conscious culture. As one step in this effort,
he is credited for coining the term "Moral Majority." Today, Paul writes
regularly for the Washington Times and Newsmax and continues to serve as an
influential voice for the conservative movement through his leadership of the
Free Congress Foundation and the weekly meetings of Coalitions for America.
