Gary Bauer Says Mount Vernon Statement 'A Seminal Document That Is Both the Past and the Future of Conservatism'

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Former presidential candidate Gary Bauer was among the more than 80 influential and respected conservative grassroots leaders on Wednesday who released "The Mount Vernon Statement," which outlines core conservative beliefs.

Bauer, who is president of American Values and chairman of Campaign for Working Families, called the statement "a seminal document reflecting both the past and the future of intellectual conservatism. This unites economic, defense and social conservatives with one philosophy. I believe this statement will rally conservatives and reengage ordinary Americans who care about the principles of good and effective government. It's the perfect antidote to the current big government, socialist, unconstitutional philosophies the currently prevail in Washington, D.C."

Bauer is available for interview or appearance in the coming days on the subject of how conservative ideals and candidates will fare in the current political climate.
